Denigrating Women
In Christianity ByMr. Magdy Abdalshafy
www.knowmuhammad.org
•Woman in Christianity has always been the culprit that is to blame for the
human miseries. She was never treated as a true human being. She was
degraded for a crime she never committed .
•In the Holy Book many stories were modified to serve a certain goal,
among these is the story of Adam and Eve.
•The true story of Adam and Eve is modified so that woman alone stands as
the basic reason of sending Adam (the symbol of man) out of the Paradise.

• How do the early theologians see women?
• According to the early theologian the woman is the source of evil, please read the following opinions:
www.knowmuhammad.org
• The early theologians considered Eve to be the reason of
the crucifixion of Jesus, who (as they think) was sent to the
earth to atone for the human sins especially the Original Sin.
• Surely all of these lies are against the teachings of God in the
Holy Book.
• The story of Eve being the reason of Jesus crucifixion and
expelling Adam from heaven made the theologian adopt
antagonistic culture against woman; this led to treating
woman as an element inferior to man. www.knowmuhammad.o

Woman is a daughter of falsehood, a sentinel
of Hell, the enemy of peace; through her Adam
lost paradise" (St. John Demascene)
www.knowmuhammad.org
“Woman is the instrument which the devil
uses to gain possession of our souls "
(St. Cyprian )
www.knowmuhammad.org
"Woman is the fountain of the arm of the
devil, her voice is the hissing of the serpent"
(St. Anthony)
www.knowmuhammad.org
"Woman has the poison of an asp, the
malice of a dragon" (St. Gregory)
www.knowmuhammad.org
St. Tertullian, while he was talking to his 'best
beloved sisters' in the faith, he said, "Do you
not know that you are each an Eve? The
sentence of God on this sex of yours lives in
this age: the guilt must of necessity live too .
www.knowmuhammad.org
You are the Devil's gateway: You are the unsealer
of the forbidden tree: You are the first deserter
of the divine law: You are she who persuaded him
whom the devil wasn't valiant enough to attack.
You destroyed so easily God's image, man".www.knowmuhammad.o

"Once again, St. Augustine wrote to a friend,
"What is the difference whether it is in a wife
or a mother, it is still Eve the temptress that
we must beware of in any woman ".

Centuries later, St. Thomas Aquinas still
considered women as defective, "As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and
misbegotten, for the active force in the male seed
tends to the production of a perfect likeness in
the masculine sex;
www.knowmuhammad.org
while the production of woman comes from
a defect in the active force or from some
material indisposition, or even from some
external influence ".

Orthodox Jewish men in their daily morning
prayer recite "Blessed be God King of the
universe that Thou has not made me a woman."
The women, on the other hand, thank God every
morning for "making me according to Thy will"
www.knowmuhammad.org
According to the Jewish Talmud, "women are
exempt from the study of the Torah." In the
first century C.E.,Rabbi Eliezer said: "If any man
teaches his daughter Torah it is as though he
taught her lechery "
