A Common Conscience

In response to Sarah’s comment, I would disagree because of the fact that God is the original lawmaker who manages the world as well as humanity. Though some laws discussed in scripture do not personally apply to today the majority of the laws in place nowadays originated in the bible. Scientific evidence proves that some laws cannot be accredited to man such as gravity and many internal laws that are described as your conscience. Your conscience is defined as a “motivation deriving logically from ethical or moral principles that govern a person's thoughts and actions”.

As you can see by Sarah’s comment she is expressing atheistic worldview tendencies. Part of her statement is in fact true though, the government must formulate structure within their country or state. Throughout the world there are many common laws in place such as theft, homicide, and rape. Scientific evidence proves that some laws cannot be accredited to man due to the universal conscience of man.

Christian’s View on Feminism

Christian’s View on Feminism

The Christian worldview holds the belief that men bear the image of God. Though men and woman both bear the image woman bear it differently for their different and unique roles. Women were created to be “life givers” “completers” and “care givers”. God says this in Genesis 2:18, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. God designed man to depend on the woman but also to be the rock of the family and household. Women were called to submit to their husbands, (Ephesians 5:21-23). With that said, woman don’t need to compare themselves to man but should follow scripture and subdue. Woman shouldn’t feel the need to work to be equivalent to man. Females are born equal to man and in the end were created to do the same job and spread the words and works of God. All in all though man and woman were created with different roles and purposes, God created man and woman equivalent.
