Hello to anyone reading this! 

Christianity seems to put more emphasis on the men in scriptures than the women. Some Christians don’t believe that there is a Heavenly Mother and a Heavenly Father, or that Jesus Christ could have taken a wife. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions- I am just going to share what I have learned and come to know through my own journey into Christianity. 

1. Balance

The universe needs balance. A masculine and feminine. This may seem to be less about Christianity and more about energies, but it is worth noting none-the-less. Balance is necessary for everything, without it there would be only chaos. 

2. We are made in the likeness of God... but if God is a man, what does that make women? 

Women are made in the likeness of our Heavenly Mother- this has been said by Spencer W. Kimball

In Gospel Topics, there are several references to Heavenly Mother. Joseph Smith is said to have spoken and written (briefly) about our Heavenly Mother. Please look these up if you have the time- they are all worth reading!

3. Ordinances

All of the ordinances that are on this earth were given to us by Jesus Christ. This includes the Sealing Ceremony (marriage). It is said that Jesus himself perform the ordinances given- if you believe this to be true, then Christ himself would have had a Sealing Ceremony. Some shave speculated that Jesus was married to Marry Magdalene, though we may never actually know who the wife of Christ was while we are on this earth. 

To repeat, this is only my experiences. I am not here to tell you that I know everything (it is obvious that I don’t), but I hope that I have at least made you think more critically about this. Women are equal to men- this is said by many different prophets. I want to help make that known.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to add your own thoughts (either in comments/notes or tag me)

Sincerely,
