OSONGS: #34: Precious Daughter www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/VODOriginalSongs/pub-osg_34_VIDEOwww.jw.org/en/library/music-songs/original-songs/precious-daughter/sexismprejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.[/quote] #QUESTION: Does the bible imply women should be subservient?In colloquial speech the word "subservient" is usually used as a synonym of being submissive and ready to obey. In this sense all believers are encouraged to be "subservient" or obediant to God and those that have a relative amount of authority over them. For example men and women are encouraged to submit to legitimate authorities such as governments, their employers, teachers etc. Married women to their husbands and children to their parents. Men to the "older men" in the congregation, the older men to the congregational "overseers" (some translations "bishops") and those overseers to each other. Indeed in the bible the only individual that has nobody with any authority over them is Almighty God. Thus logically, since both men and women are encouraged to be submissive to authority, there it is no more evidence of encouraging "sexism" (or prejudice) than obeying Policeman's instructions would be evidence of "sexism" or prejudice. Further, the word "subservient" as defined in most dictionaries differs from how most people use the word. It actually means obeying " without question". This implies that whether we are told to do right or wrong, obedience would be required, without reason and judement and disobedience would always be wrong. In the purest sense of the world then the bible absolutely does not encourage subservience, either for men or women, since Christians are, for example, encouraged to reason and measure if their actions are morally correct regardlesss of what authority figure tells them to do. CONCLUSION: The bible does not instruct women to blindly obey their husbands without question but rather encourages married women, as it does equally to all men, to recognize and submit to legitimate authority which is always relative. All humans on earth are considered to have a legitimate authority to which they owe relative submission

Jehovah is “the head,” or the ultimate authority, and all his children, both angelic and human, are accountable to him. (Rom. 14:10; Eph. 3:14, 15) - w21 2/15 #5
