Women in the New Testament

Questions Covered:

• 13:38 - What does it mean when the Bible talks about women being servants to men? 
• 23:17 - What is your take on Mary Magdalene and Jesus’ encounter after he rose from the dead? Was Jesus slighting her when he told her not to cling to him because he had not yet ascended to the Father? 
• 30:21 - It seems like the world likes loud, confident, successful women better. Am I a bad woman because I am quieter and in the home? Is there evidence in Scripture for what womanhood should look like? 
• 37:35 - Why didn’t Jesus make any women priests?  
• 44:47 - If Jesus had wanted women priests, he would have chosen his own mother, who was perfect and would have made the ideal priest. 
• 47:00 - Have you written about women in the Old Testament, as well? I admire many women in the Old Testament.
