"The Bible is sexist. Just look at the genealogies -- all men, men, men. Women don't matter."
You have heard this. Maybe you have thought it yourself.
But what if the male genealogies were never about male superiority? What if they were a type -- a shadow pointing forward to something that would include everyone?
And what if women who are born of the Spirit carry and spread the very same σπέρμα (sperma -- seed) of Θεός (Theos) that men do?
Let me show you what γραφή (graphe -- Scripture) actually says.
The Genealogies Were Typological, Not Sexist
The biblical genealogies trace through males because σπέρμα (sperma - seed) physically comes from the male. This is biological reality. The genealogies track the physical line through which Χριστός (Christos) would come -- they are typological, pointing to the ultimate Seed.
This is the same principle as Hagar and Ishmael being sent away. Παῦλος (Paulos -- Paul) tells us in Galatians 4:24 that story was an ἀλληγορούμενα (allēgoroumena -- allegory). It was never about Θεός (Theos - God) hating slaves or Egyptians. It was pointing to something deeper -- the difference between flesh and promise, law and grace.
The genealogies work the same way. The male seed line was a shadow. A type. Pointing forward.
But notice what happens in Genesis 3:15.
"Her Seed" -- The Pattern Breaker
Right there in the curse, at the moment of the fall, Θεός (Theos - God) plants the seed (pun intended) of reversal:
"καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῆς" -- "and between her seed" (Genesis 3:15 LXX)
This is unusual language. Seed comes from men. Yet the promise of redemption is through the woman's seed. Χριστός (Christos) came through Mary without male σπέρμα (sperma), breaking the transmission line of sin.
The woman's seed is the seed that crushes the serpent's head.
Even in Genesis 3, Θεός (Theos - God) was signaling that the male-only pattern was temporary.
The Genealogy Breaks in Matthew
Watch what happens in Matthew's genealogy. For 42 generations, the pattern is the same: "so-and-so ἐγέννησεν (begat) so-and-so."
Then it stops.
"Ἰακὼβ δὲ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἄνδρα Μαρίας, ἐξ ἧς ἐγεννήθη Ἰησοῦς" -- "Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Ἰησοῦς" (Matthew 1:16)
The male "begat" chain stops cold. The word ἐξ ἧς (ex hēs) is feminine -- "of whom" refers to Mary, not Joseph.
Χριστός (Christos) comes through the woman. The type is fulfilled. The shadow gives way to reality.
Sons AND Daughters Shall Prophesy
With Χριστός, the physical seed line reaches its terminus. What comes next?
Joel 2:28-29 (quoted by Peter at Pentecost):
"ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός μου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα, καὶ προφητεύσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν" -- "I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy."
The male-only transmission is over. The Spirit comes on all. Sons and daughters prophesy equally.
This is not an innovation. This is what Θεός (Theos - God) always intended. The physical pattern was temporary, typological -- pointing forward to what was always true in His eternal purpose.
Even in the Old Testament, Some Women Had Spiritual Authority Men Lacked
The male genealogies tracked physical descent -- but even under the old covenant, Θεός gave spiritual wisdom and authority to certain women that men did not have.
Deborah was a prophetess and judge over all Israel (Judges 4-5). The military commander Barak refused to go to battle without her: "If you go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go" (Judges 4:8). A man with an army depended on a woman's spiritual authority.
Manoah's wife (Samson's mother) received the angelic visitation -- not her husband (Judges 13). When Manoah panicked after seeing the angel, fearing they would die, his wife had the theological discernment he lacked: "If Κύριος had wanted to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering from our hands" (Judges 13:23). She reasoned clearly while he fell apart.
The Shunammite woman recognized Elisha as a holy man of Θεός when her husband apparently did not (2 Kings 4:9-10). She said to her husband: "I know that this is a holy man of God who passes by us regularly. Let us make a small room for him." She had the spiritual discernment to perceive who Elisha was; her husband simply followed her lead. Her perception led to blessing for their entire household.
The genealogies traced the physical seed line. But Θεός never restricted spiritual wisdom, authority, or revelation to men -- even before the Spirit was poured out on all flesh.
Women Carry the Σπέρμα of Θεός
Here is the verse that defeats sexism at its root:
1 John 3:9: "πᾶς ὁ γεγεννημένος ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἁμαρτίαν οὐ ποιεῖ, ὅτι σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ μένει" -- "Everyone having been born of Θεός does not practice sin, because His seed (σπέρμα) remains in him."
The σπέρμα of Θεός is given to all who are born of the Spirit -- male and female.
A woman born of the Spirit carries the σπέρμα of Θεός. She spreads it. She transmits it. She is not merely a recipient but a carrier of the seed of Θεός just as any man.
Women Are Υἱοί -- Sons -- of Θεός
Galatians 3:26-28 confirms:
"πάντες γὰρ υἱοὶ θεοῦ ἐστε διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ... οὐκ ἔνι ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ· πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς εἷς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ" -- "For you are all sons (υἱοί) of Θεός through faith in Χριστός Ἰησοῦς... there is no male and female; for you are all one in Χριστός Ἰησοῦς."
Women are υἱοί -- sons -- of Θεός. Not daughters in a diminished sense. Sons. Heirs. Carriers of the seed.
The spiritual σπέρμα is not gendered.
What This Means
The genealogies were never sexist. They were tracking the physical line of the Messiah -- a temporary pattern pointing to a permanent reality.
When Χριστός came through "her seed," the type was fulfilled. When the Spirit was poured out on sons AND daughters, the new reality was manifest. When women were born of the Spirit, they received the same σπέρμα of Θεός that men receive.
Any teaching that treats women as spiritually secondary -- as recipients but not transmitters, as followers but never leaders, as lesser carriers of Θεός's presence -- contradicts what Θεός actually accomplished in Χριστός.
The shadow has passed. The reality is here.
Women carry the σπέρμα of Θεός.
