The value of woman depends on her “created in the image of God” value.
God created man in His image, male and female. The Trinity is three persons but one substance. Man is two persons, male and female, but one substance. Male and female are not two kinds of human, the one more valuable than the other.
This one of three Trinity and one of two human speaks of oneness of purpose amid diversity of roles and contributions. Understanding that women are image-bearers of God can empower them to embrace their identity and purpose. It affirms their significance in both spiritual and societal contexts, promoting equality and mutual respect.
God gave Adam and Eve equal responsibility to be co-creators and co-rulers. No distinction is made between male and female in these responsibilities.
God created male and female with equal value in their mind, heart, choosing, and social capacities, although these capacities function different for male and female. Men have more gray matter for information gathering but women have more white matter that provides connection between different parts of the brain. Women have bigger memory centers than men and better understanding of the big or long view picture. Women are generally more in touch with and expressive about their emotions. Male and female are created with an equal ability to evaluate options and make choices.
The idea that women are dense or less than because they don’t process information like men is disrespectful. This view is the result of thinking “different than men” is inferior.
