Believers should have the nature of showing respect, love, and compassion for all human beings, including women. They need to uphold the dignity and worth of women as equal to men, created in the image of God. The Bible condemns any form of violence, abuse, or harm towards women, just as it condemns violence against any person.
Throughout the Bible, there are stories of women who played significant roles and were honored for their faith, courage, and wisdom. Jesus himself treated women with respect and kindness, challenging the cultural norms of his time.
The Bible does not endorse or support hurting women. Instead, it encourages treating women with respect, love, and dignity, just as we are all called to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is essential to interpret and apply biblical teachings in a way that promotes equality, compassion, and justice for all.
