Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and Our Worldview

Want to know more about what the bible says about biblical manhood and biblical womanhood? Check out this website: http://www.cbmw.org/

These resources are there for people who would like to find out God's perspective on this topic. I would advise anyone to be gracious when reading articles on these topics. We all have a particular worldview, and must be very careful about how our preconceived notions distort our Christian perspective.

If you are a predisposed chauvinist or feminist, then deconstructing your personal belief systems should be your first step. In other words, evaluate yourself and see where you stand on certain issues. You may have to admit and reconcile your chauvinistic or feministic tendencies before you can read with objectivity.

One easy indicator of deconstructing your personal (not necessarily biblical) belief systems is by asking yourself: Do I get emotional when I read this? Always be suspect of your feelings, not to dismiss them but to evaluate them. Your feelings are valid when it is ultimately aligned with your passion for God and to see His name proclaimed in all the earth. If there is a break in your reasoning that does not lead up to this alignment. Then you may have identified a false belief.
