he made every nation of men, that they
should inhabit the whole world; and he
determined the times set for them and
the exact places where they should live.

Traditionally most Christians believe that men
were in charge and the role of women was to
support men. Today there are still some
Christians who have the same view. However
many modern Christians believe that men and
women should be treated equally and that they
should both be in charge together. This is
because the bible was written a long tiem ago,
in a male dominated society and its references
to the roles of men and women reflect this.
The bible seems to say that men should
be in charge: Jesus' disciples ere all
men. the first women Eve was created
as man's companion. However the
principles of equality should be applied
to gender. '' There is no Jew nor Greek,
slave or free, male or female, for you
are all one in Christ.

others and live together in harmony whilst
appreciating the right to practise one's own fiath.

accepts Jesus as the son of God and the saviour
can know God. Followers of other religion who do
not recognise the full importance of Jesus can not
enter heaven. John 14:6''i am the way nad the
truth and the life., No one comes to the father
except through me.
