The Gender Twist Part 2 🔥_ Sunday Twists S2E11.
<p>It’s Sunday Twists 😇 — time to ask the hard questions again... Hope you get this one 😂</p><p>So this is the Part 2 and Final Part of the Gender Twist episode 🔥....</p><p>This part is bringing it home to a more relatable level.....</p><p>A Concern with <strong>GENDER DISCRIMINATION .</strong></p><blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">NB: This is not aimed at condemnation or to tackle... It is all for the purpose of stirring curiosity, critical thinking and of course... Getting to know the Sacred Scrolls in a more relatable manner.</span></blockquote><p><h3><strong>Let’s unpack it…</strong></h3><p><strong>Some things were noted in the Bible and it pioneered questions concerning the Female racism in the Bible. <br/></strong><h2><strong>Lo and behold 😌.. Thou shalt have to scroll down to see them.</strong></h2></p><p><strong><br/></strong></p></p><blockquote>✓ Inheritance laws sidelined women:<br/>Women could not inherit property at all.<br/>📖 Numbers 27:1–11 — The daughters of Zelophehad had to petition Moses to claim what was rightfully theirs before the law was edited.<strong><br/><em>Why were daughters not automatically entitled to inherit? Was justice being delayed because of gender?</em></strong></blockquote><blockquote>✓Genealogies favoured men:<br/>Almost all lineages list men only, unless a woman breaks the norm.<br/>📖 Tamar (Genesis 38), Rahab (Joshua 6), Ruth (Ruth 4), Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11–12) — were mentioned because their stories were extraordinary.<em><strong><br/>Should we call this a disregard of women?🤔</strong></em></blockquote><blockquote>✓Few women recognized as prophets:<br/>While men dominate the prophetic narrative, a handful of women stood out:<br/>📖 Miriam (Exodus 15:20), Deborah (Judges 4:4), Huldah (2 Kings 22:14)<strong><br/><em>Were these exceptions proving the rule of male dominance?🤷</em></strong></blockquote><blockquote>Women as wives, concubines, or property<br/>Often women appear in texts <strong>through men</strong>—wives, concubines, daughters, or prizes.<br/>Examples: Lot’s daughters (Genesis 19), Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11)<strong><br/><em>How did the culture affect the way women were represented in Scripture?</em></strong></blockquote><blockquote>✓Limited participation in leadership<br/>Women rarely held civic or religious authority. Deborah is the major exception, serving as a judge and military leader (Judges 4–5).<em><br/><strong>Why were women leaders almost always framed as “special cases”? Even now!!</strong></em></blockquote><blockquote>✓Legal and social restrictions<br/>A woman’s voice could be overridden by her father or husband:<br/>📖 Numbers 30:3–5 — “If a woman makes a vow to the Lord while in her father’s house… and her father restrains her… then all her vows shall be null and the Lord will forgive her.”<br/> <strong><em>What will you 🫵 call this? I await your answers.</em></strong></blockquote><p><br/></p><blockquote><strong>Sunday Twists 😌 —<br/>Where faith meets fresh perspective.</strong></blockquote><blockquote><strong>PEACE ✌🏽</strong></blockquote>
