God has a role for men and a role for women that He put within them when He created them and it is by nature that men and women live according to the Bible. No verse of the Bible will cancel out another verse or else God Himself would be contradictory in His writings making Him out to be a liar. We know that God is not a liar or else our salvation would be in jeopardy. Because of this knowledge what are the similarities and differences between man and woman?
Look at this Bible reference: Gal. 3:8 "And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, "In you all the nations shall be blessed"
Gal. 3:9 "So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham."
Gal. 3:26 "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."
Gal. 3:27 "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ."
Gal. 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Gal. 3:29 "And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
Many people and Christians believe that men and women have the same authority and can both teach Bible doctrine in the church because we are all one in Christ. This Bible passage in the book of Galatians is teaching on salvation, blessings and our inheritance in Christ. The above scripture has nothing to do with our authority in Christ or our gender calling to teach in the body of Christ.
Galatians 3:8 & 9 is talking about the blessings of Abraham being upon all of those who are in Christ through faith in His blood. Galatians 3:26 & 27 is speaking about our eternal salvation and the position we have as perfect beings before God by the work of the cross of Christ. Galatians 3:28 is explaining God's viewpoint on how He sees His family being all one regardless of being male or female or being Jew or Greek. God is saying that there is no difference between male and female when it comes to salvation, blessings and inheritance.
God does see a difference between man and woman when it comes to teaching Hid Word and having authority. See First Timothy 2:12 (And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence) and you will see that God definitely notices a difference with men and women when it comes to authority. Galatians 3:29 speaks of all believers in Christ as having the same inheritance regardless of sex or background because all of that changes when you accept Christ as your Savior.
Do not confuse your position in Christ given you by God when you have faith in Christ and become apart of the family of God enjoying the blessings of Abraham and your eternal inheritance as a reward for your faith with the natural role you have. Your role as men and women have been placed inside of you when you were created, therefore it is very natural to live out of this truth when you learn who you are as a person. The Bible tells you, who you are, study it and learn by God all about yourself.
