Paper for Responsible UseThe Bible has been at the center of many debates and has been used correctly and incorrectly. My goal in this article is to highlight the numerous flaws in the age-old but ever-present interpretation of the Bible that suggests women are inferior to men. I will also praise and explain the use of the Bible during the civil rights movement. Some people believe that women were created for the sole purpose of assisting men. They justify their position by citing Genesis chapter two, in which God takes a rib from Adam and creates Eve. They believe that because Eve was created from a piece of Adam, she is directly beneath him, as if he were her creator. Another source of evidence for this claim is that Adam was created before Eve. The logic behind this proof is that the human being who was created first has more importance and is therefore greater than the second. This interpretation is also based on the fact that women are less physically capable than men. It is believed that since God made women less capable, then she should be considered inferior compared to her older counterpart. Clearly, this is an irresponsible interpretation of the Bible. Many passages in the Bible affirm the equality of His creation. The apostle Paul states in Galatians chapter three that all people under the Lord are to be considered one entity and are equal in all of that entity. Any interpretation that suggests women are inferior can easily be refuted by this passage. Some argue that women are inferior because God calls Eve a “Helper” in the second chapter of Genesis, yet God uses the same name, 'ezer, to describe himself multiple times. Out of context it would seem that the Bible makes women seem less than, but in reality... middle of the paper... God, He allowed women to follow Him despite their social status. Mary Magdalene was a prominent disciple of Jesus who played an active role in serving him. Ruth is also an excellent example of God's trust in women. The Bible not only disproves the belief that women are inferior, it also demonstrates it in individual verses. In conclusion, the idea of ​​"male superiority" is much less credible than the interpretation of the Bible that all human beings are and were created equal, which was a major inspiration of the civil rights movement. Not only can you find it in the written text of the Bible, but also in the modern world. Through the success of each idea and a strong biblical analysis I have come to the conclusion that the civil rights movement used the Bible responsibly, while the interpretation that suggests males are superior did not..
