What is feminism, Ben? Is it women who can lead along with men? Jezebel tempted Ahab to sin and rejected God’s prophets. That’s not what egalitarians are advocating! https://t.co/wJ9KY61Kvf

Jezebel: one egalitarian argues she ruled with more authority than her husband Ahab, and her role was 'accepted.'

Examining Jezebel as an egalitarian example

1 Kings 21 egalitarianism Jezebel Ahab
Mike Winger idea 2022-03-28

Rebuttal: Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab's name with his seal — proving she did NOT have independent authority; she was a cult leader, not a legitimate example.

Refuting the Jezebel argument
