Are there parts of the Bible that fully demonstrate male supremacy?
The scripture repeatedly warns against boasting and envy and repeatedly calls for humility and satisfaction in Christ, it calls us to self-control not self-indulgence, it asks men to lead not to oppress, and trust is said to be rightly placed in only one individual person and it is not in ourselves or other men, that is in Christ. The desire for supremacy is often linked to a life saturated with insecurity. Men desperately want to be made much of who have a low sense of worth – conscious or unconscious. Men who don’t know why their life has worth seek a sense of value in making less of others.
Unfortunately, many Christian men act and behave in a male chauvinistic manner. Some would even go so far as to say that the bible speaks in shop of the supremacy of the male gender. This, of course, requires scriptural ignorance or an intentional twisting of biblical manhood from a position of self-sacrificial authority into a mechanism for the diminishing of women and the magnification of men. Frankly, the Lord has not instituted a gender bias. Using scripture to justify a sense of male supremacy is exploiting or confusing position for power.
