Sadly this thinking, “God cannot connect with a woman like He connects with a man because God’s understanding in His Word comes only through man” does not display much understanding of God’s Word.

Although I believe that the Bible is God’s written word, it is not the ultimate revelation of God’s Word. This ultimate revelation we see in Jesus. Jesus points out the importance in not giving to the written word of God more time than it deserves, in relation to the Word made flesh (John 5:39-40).

So what is being suggested is that only men can have a direct relationship with Jesus. Either that or they are saying that a relationship with the bible trumps a relationship with Jesus.

Jesus would not agree. He certainly had relationship with women directly. Even Mary & Martha!
