About This Quote

While this is not meant to be a serious debate on the role of women in society, the Bible does make it clear that God intended for women to be saved by childbirth. The Bible also states clearly that men are the head of the home and are responsible for the direction of the family. It is this very concept of submission to God that makes us equal with men, as we submit ourselves to His will as revealed in His Word.
