Feminist?!

So, I was called a feminist this week.  Actually I was called  anti-husband, anti-children, anti-shovenist, anti-Christian, anti-church feminist!  Then when I asked for evidence the culprit was unable to provide any.  According to that definition I would say I am most definitely not a feminist!!!

I believe that a woman has a right to be voice her opinion and be respected for it.  Nonetheless, the woman is to submit to the authority in her life (ie. God, her father, brother, husband, pastor etc.).  If voicing my opinion does not conflict with their authority then I see no harm is saying what needs to be said. Apparently others disagree with me.

I at a point in my life were I have no husband and have no prospects (that doesn’t make me anti-husband and anti-children).  I don’t consider the lack of prospects to be a disadvantage.  I have a great opportunity to get to know my God and to serve him with reckless abandon.  (i’m not perfect… but He is making me perfect)  God is the final authority in my life and I submit myself under his authority.

My father is also an authority in my life.  I would never intentionally do anything to defy his God-given authority.  In like manner, I respect my brothers and value their opinion.

My pastor and professors are authorities in my life.  While I am under their leadership I will respect their authority.  The Hebrews 13:17 says “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”  As long as there is any form of authority in my life i will obey this verse in Hebrews.
