TRUTH: God created men and women with equal value and complimentary roles

1. Feminism
2. Egalitarianism
3. Complementarianism
4. Patriarchy

1. God’s creation brings value and order
Genesis 1:26-27 :: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

2. Sin’s entrance ruined God’s intent
Genesis 3:15-16 :: I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

3. Christ’s coming restored roles in the home and church
Ephesians 5:22 :: Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:25 :: Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
1 Timothy 2:11-12 :: Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.
