Women in Religion

Religion has existed for as long as man has.  Both men,  and women believed in a
superior being to explain the existence of life.  Now with the different
varieties of religions,  men and women play different roles that are permitted
by each one of them.  Men are allowed to do as they please in the church as far
as the worshipping of god is concerned,  but women have been and still are
restricted from performing some of the same task.  Women are expected to follow
and obey the word of God just as much as men are,  but they still are denied the

are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law"  (I Corinthians
14:34).  When a person receives the calling,  whether man or woman,  it usually
means that God is asking to become one of hisdisciples and spread his word.
Women receive this calling just like men,  but because women have been denied
that privilege for so many years,  they have no choice,  but to serve only
between the boundaries that have been given to them. Since many churches have
finally given in to allowing women into the ministry,  they now believe that God
does not have a gender,  and there are a number of ways God can be addressed
