The Hebrew worldview, rooted in Paleo-Hebrew (~1430 BC), Aramaic Scriptures (~600–500 BC), and Early Square Script (~400–200 BC), shows YHWH empowering women without gender limits. His Spirit flows through willing hearts, choosing women like Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, and Esther for major roles. In contrast, Greek pagan culture, adopted by Christianity post-325 AD, restricted women, reflecting Zeus-worship, not Torah obedience.
📜 תּוֹרָה – Torah
| ✅ YHWH’s Perspective (Hebrew Sources) | ❌ Greek Gods’ Perspective (Pagan Sources) |
|---|---|
| ✅ Can use anyone — no gender limits on His Spirit | ❌ Women = weak, in need of male oversight |
| ✅ Calls willing hearts, not male-only roles | ❌ Treated as property — from father to husband |
| ✅ Chose Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, Esther for major roles | ❌ Denied wisdom — barred from authority |
| ✅ Sees potential, not weakness — women served as prophets, judges, and military leaders | ❌ Male superiority seen as “natural order” |
| ✅ His power flows through obedience, not gender | ❌ Women excluded from leadership roles |
Miriam led Israel in worship (Exodus 15:20–21: “Miriam the prophetess… took a tambourine… and all the women followed her”).
Deborah judged Israel and commanded armies (Judges 4:4–5: “Deborah, a prophetess… was judging Israel… and led Barak in battle”).
Huldah spoke prophetic truth to kings (2 Kings 22:14: “Huldah the prophetess… delivered YHWH’s word to Josiah”).
Esther saved a nation through bold action (Esther 4:16: “I will go to the king… and if I perish, I perish”).
⚠️ When Christianity became Hellenized under Constantine, it adopted the Greek pagan view of women — not YHWH’s view.
🔥 If your church restricts women, it’s not following Torah. It’s following Greek tradition.
👉 The so-called “biblical” restriction of women is actually Greek philosophy.
