yadda - so god favoured many women ?
well, favouring anyone is unequal
God's word states that God
does favour certain individuals.
But on what basis, is God's 'favouritism' 'given' ???
"Are we all equal ?"

If we are all equal before God, then in what way does God judge, between one man, and another man ?
Acts 10:34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Romans 2:8
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) God's consistent advice, to those who love him, MkI....
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
...
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Matthew 19:17
....if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
1 Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

"...Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you,
and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
James 4:4
1 John 2:15
Our separation from what God hates, is a theme carried over from the OT;
Leviticus 18:24
Leviticus 20:23, 24, 26
Deuteronomy 7:6
Deuteronomy 14:2
Quote:
"It is the life that is obedient to God and separated from the world that provides the proof of one's conversion."
And imo, of all branches of Christian organised religion, are the religion of man.
2 Timothy 3:5
Having a form of godliness,

There will
NOT be a revival among the 'believers'...
2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
Romans 9:27
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
a remnant shall be saved:
Luke 17:26
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
'as it was in the days of Noe' ???
Genesis 6:5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
11 ....
and the earth was filled with violence.
God seeks a clean heart, not those who are worldly 'wise' [i.e. not those who seek only to be 'on the winning side'].
1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Those in rebellion against God's righteousness, displace the spirit of God!
They themselves, 'push' God's spirit away.
That is the wisdom of God.
The 'wicked', are 'self-selecting', in as much as they abhor God's righteousness [laws], in as much as they choose to do what is right in their own eyes, his spirit refuses to mingle or 'dwell' with them.
