Jesus loved and still loves women

                                          JESUS SEES WOMEN AND GIRLS AS PRECIOUS

                                           

Shalom! to all my precious blog followers! I hope your week has been blessed and

that you will have even more blessed memories of this weekend. I hope you have come closer to accepting Jesus in your hearts as a saviour, or that if you have done it already that you have spent time together with him letting him fill you with his love and guide you with his word, and listening to what he speaks and walking in his will. It is a commitment you make when you choose to follow Jesus, not just something you do once then you forget all about him. He is more precious than that, the price he payed for your sins where heavier than you think. And because he valued you, he took your sins upon him on the cross, so you can be forever in his heart and his kingdom. You are precious in his eyes. It breaks his heart when women say they want him as Lord but then they spend all days but Sundays not giving him and your relationship with him any time. And it makes him very happy when his children seek his face and decide to walk with him in obedience and trust.

Now I will discuss something I find important, and that is how women are seen and treated in the world. I just recently read an article, about this poor young woman called Ferooza from Afghanistan, mother of three kids, a son age 10, and two daughters, sorry three daughters one age five, one age three and the unborn one that was brutally cut out from her mothers stomach in the pregnancy week 24 and most certainly did not survive after going through the trauma. Ferooza wanted divorce, after living 10 years with her husband who beat her, and her husbands parents who urged him to beat her through the years. And there was this dispute between Feroozas family and her husbands family, when her husbands family refused to give Feroozas family about 33 dollars as a marriage gift, when agreeing to marry her off to them at age 14.  Feroozas family wanted her back, but her husbands family said she was theirs because she was married in to their family. And only because she wanted divorce, her husband and his parents decided to kill her as a part of a "honour killing" trend. 

They beat her, burned her and cut out her baby from her womb. And of course no woman can survive such a thing and then they cowardly took the three kids or four kids depending on what happened to the little girl they cut out from her mother womb. That story that Magda Gad reported on the news, shocked me and grieved me so I could hardly sleep last night, it is so pure evil! I have  not and never will accept such a woman hating religion that these people represent. When I think about Islam, rest of my life I will see Feroozas burned body, Sharia beatings, FGM reports and reports about gang rapes. And that is pure evil! Islam is pure evil. And there is not one person who can ever make me think otherwise. Not all muslims are evil, but their religion is evil and does not deserve respect or to be handled gently like a tender baby. Or like a spoiled queen not spoken against or protested against in case it might "offend" her.

This is only one reason, why Jesus and Christianity is so different from Islam. And why I will never submit to Islam. Because my Lord, my Jesus, loves and values women and girls! you don't see Christian parents selling their daughters on the streets like camels or a bunch of goats or chickens. You don't hear them say to their daughters they are less worth than boys or treat them thereafter. They don't force 9 year old girls marry overaged men like a "beloved prophet". And Jesus not even once, ever hurt a woman. He forgave an adulteress, saying he didn't condemn her, asked her to go and sin son more.  He spoke with tenderness and love towards women, he had many female disciples who helped him with their finances, and even healed both women and men from different diseases and drove out evil spirits from them. 

 And when he chose me, and drew me closer to him so I found out about his love after feeling his presence in a church when other Christian teens prayed for me, and I accepted him as a Saviour not even once has he spoken to me with despite in his voice. He has called me his precious daughter several times. That is love that only can come from the God of Love, precious Jesus Christ. In many other religions, women are one way or another seen as having less worth than men. I have heard of it from Islam, buddhism and hinduism. Within mormonism and Jehovas witnesses. 

Because the devil hates women, he hates them because the mother of Jesus is and always will be a woman. One of the clearest way to see the devils face in a false religion, is when you look at how they treat the women and girls. Another one is how they look at Israel. The devil hates Israel because Jesus is and always will be a Jew and when he returns to Jerusalem, he will judge the devil with his fallen angels. And sadly, even the people who in to the end refused to accept him as Lord. Satan is the origin to all hatred against Israel, all boycott campaigns, all antisemitic attacks, he even was behind the Holocaust and Hitlers hatred against Jews. But either way, one reason why I am so moved when I read about Jesus, is because he cared so much about women, at a time when women had a low position, and not much to say about. When the other religious leaders wanted to stone the adulteress, Jesus refused to do it and said: May he who is without sin be the first one to cast the stone. And that made the religious leaders feel ashamed and they left.

So before you even dare to think about Jesus and Christianity as "anti women" remember this Bible quote I will now share with you, it almost brings me to tears when I see this at Christian Jesus movies.

John 8:1-11:

 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them.  As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.

 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery.  The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”

 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.

When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”

 “No, Lord,” she said.

And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

And don't forget about Luke 8:43-48:

Luke 8:43-48

 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians,^[she could not be healed by anyone.  She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased. And Jesus said, “Who was it that touched me?” When all denied it, Peter^[ said, “Master, the crowds surround you and are pressing in on you!” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.  And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

AND LUKE 8:1-3 Women who supported Jesus

 After this, Jesus traveled from one city and village to another. He spread the Good News about God’s kingdom. The twelve apostles were with him.  Also, some women were with him. They had been cured from evil spirits and various illnesses. These women were Mary, also called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out; Joanna, whose husband Chusa was Herod’s administrator; Susanna; and many other women. They provided financial support for Jesus and his disciples. 

Well that's all for tonight,  take care and God bless/ Tanja
