"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

While some men may unintentionally harm women by silencing them, there are certainly those who have done so maliciously. How will God judge those who have subjugated and oppressed God's daughters to protect their positions of power?

God's Word says that few should be teachers. Why? Because they will face harsher judgement. This should cause us to proceed with caution when people are placed into our care. Matthew 25:31-46 gives us some insight into how God views our treatment of others: 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” In the world we find ourselves in today, where male pastors have utilized the Bible to silence the gifts of women within their congregations, we are confronted with a troubling reality. It is not merely a situation where Christian leaders have failed to take action to support and protect abused women in their midst. It goes beyond that. We witness men who perpetrate this oppression, causing immense suffering to their sisters, wives, and daughters. Should not such actions cause these leaders to tremble in fear of a righteous God, who will bring forth justice for His daughters? What does the future hold for those who have carried out evil in the name of God?

We can draw a parallel with the Christians of the past who invoked the Bible to justify the institution of slavery, claiming it was ordained by God. Perhaps, in His mercy and forgiveness, God will extend grace even in the face of such sin. Maybe He will forgive those who acted out of ignorance. But can we expect His forgiveness for those who deliberately distorted His Word for their own benefit, perpetuating the abuse of women? Can we anticipate acceptance for those who failed to recognize His daughters as fellow human beings, made in His own image? These are weighty considerations that require our contemplation.

I want to make it clear that I am not passing judgment on these men, as that prerogative rests solely with God. I merely intend to offer a warning of the potential consequences and invite you to ponder: What will God's reaction be? How will He rectify these matters?

Let us continue to engage in critical thinking and persistent questioning, as we strive to draw nearer to God and deepen our understanding of Him.
