IS THE FEMINIST IDEA OF EQUALITY THE SAME AS BIBLICAL EQUALITY? No. In the Bible, men and women are seen as equals with different roles. You may have heard the classic biblical saying about how we know men are not above women because God took Eve from Adam’s middle, his rib. She was not formed from his head or ear, figuratively putting her above him; likewise, God did not make her from Adam’s little toe, which might make it seem like men are above women. God took Eve from his rib because she was Adam’s equal, as men and women have been ever since—though we have different functions. Our roles may differ, but in a marriage we still come together as one equal partnership. That equality is not the feminist and New Age version where women are taught they can do everything men can, leading women to feel like they want to prove that they are as good or better than men at every aspect of life. But in their striving to achieve a non-differentiated unisex society, they end up working at getting men to be more like women and women more like men, which is not biblical unity. Feminism and New Age teach that full equality for men and women will take away all forms of prejudice. Of course, their twisted version of prejudice is that we must accept anyone and everyone’s false truth, including all wrong and damaging immorality.
