Does the Bible teach us to be sexist and homophobic?

        Despite what some people may think, the Bible does not say that as Christians we are to be sexist or homophobic. God does not say that we are to hate homosexuals and feminists. However, He also does not say that homosexuals and feminists are in the right. God did not make man to live this way. When God made male and female, He made them both to bear his image, but in different ways. God wanted both the male and female to rule, fill, multiply, and subdue. Along with these general rules for the male and female, God also gave more specific roles to each gender. God wanted the man to be the more dominant ruler over the earth, to name everything on the earth, and to teach the woman what God had taught him. Man was supposed to be responsible for the earth as well as the woman. God also gave specific roles to the woman. She was to be the life giver, helper, and completer. By being the helper, this did not mean that she was to be a servant to the man. This went that she was to be the rescuer of man, and to save him from his mistakes. These characteristics and responsibilities are still apart of God people today. Neither man nor woman is more important, in God’s eyes they are of equal importance. That is why the Bible does not promote sexist beliefs. It also does not promote homophobic beliefs. While the Bible does not promote homosexuality, it also does not promote the hatred of it. However, God did not create man to be homosexual. He created both man and woman to complete one another. After all, God created man and woman to take care of the earth and to increase in number. If God had created man to be homosexual, then there would really be no way to increase in number. So, the Bible does not teach us to be homophobic or sexist. It tells us the roles God intends both man and woman to have, and how these roles are important to life.
