What Does Mormonism Think About Women?
In this episode Bryan, Bo, and KD discuss the Mormon perspective on the fall of Adam and Eve and how it shapes their view of women. They contrast this with the biblical view that emphasizes the equality and value of both men and women as image bearers of God. The conversation also touches on the Mormon belief in becoming gods and the role of women in Mormonism.
- Mormonism has a different interpretation of the fall and the role of women compared to biblical Christianity.
- The biblical view emphasizes the equality and value of both men and women as image bearers of God.
- Toxic masculinity and controlling behavior from husbands and a desire for control and subversion from wives are the result of the curse.
- Jesus is the solution to this hostility, as he crushed Satan's head and overcame sin and death.
- In biblical Christianity, there is no difference between men and women at the foot of the cross, and all believers have access to God through Jesus.
