Some believe that Christianity is a male-dominated religion that reduces women to an inferior status. Or there is discrimination based on sexist in the Bible which claims that it is true book. As I am a Christian, I will defend with some reasons that Christianity is not sexist at all. First of all, the God of the Bible is not male in any sense, because God is not a sexual being. Jesus taught that God is Spirit (John 4:24) and not one who brings things into existence through procreation. The Bible also tells God is not to be represented as either a male or a female. Second, the Bible use feminine descriptions or imagery when it speaks of God. If you have the Bible, please look and find (Deuteronomy 32:18, James 1:18, Matthew 23:37-39). Thirdly, Jesus did not set up a male-dominated religious system in which women would be permanently subjugated. He surprised his followers by teaching theology to women in private and in public (Luke 10:38-42). Some of feminist opposes to Christianity because of discrimination based on sexism in the Bible, but the truth is that The Bible does not talk about sexism God.

"The Bible also tells God is not to be represented as either a male or a female." Where does it say that?
Also, you have not addressed the many sexist teachings in the Bible. Read 1 Corinthians 11, 1 Corinthians 14, Ephesians 5, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Peter 3, Genesis 3:16, or Job 25:4
