Marina Tsvetayeva, a
classical Russian poet, wrote,
God do not judge; on
the earth
A woman you never
were.
She has a profound
argument there. According to the Bible, Jesus was God come alive to
earth in the human form, with all the features of human being, who
because he understood human experience was more likely to be merciful
and understanding than a being that had never been human. He had
great insight into human condition, and being both man and God he was
able to advocate before God for men while also advocating before men
for God. He experienced all the weaknesses and temptations to which
people are liable and was therefore merciful toward other people.
Why does not God
incarnate as a female, so that He understands the woman's condition
and is more compassionate and merciful toward women as well?
Why not incarnate as
a female? Women are half the world's population, and a God who has
never been a female would find it difficult to relate to the women.
Whereas if God comes to earth as a female, He is more likely to
understand women by having experienced woman's condition on His own
skin.
I have definitely
known women of great intelligence, great integrity and great wisdom.
Yet much of that wisdom gets lost because it is portrayed as part of
something sinful. Some women are as wise as Jesus or Solomon; but
they get portrayed as witches or worse. People benefit from their
wisdom, then they burn them at the stake.
So I ask this of
God. Why not come to earth as a woman and actually understand women
enough to decide what's right and what's wrong for them?
