Feminists support the fight against human trafficking, support help for rape victims, support the right to equal pay for women and support the belief that women have the same value as men. Jesus himself treated women with respect; this is evident in his interaction with the woman caught in adultery found in John 8:1-11. The religious leaders wanted to find fault with Jesus and believed that he would choose to let her go, thus breaking the Law of Moses, or to condemn her. The passage records Jesus' wise response: "Then, as they continued to ask him, he arose and said to them, Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her" ("King James Bible Online"). Jesus also treated a Samaritan woman respectfully in John 4:4-42, and willingly interacted with an unclean woman in Matthew 9:20-22 (“It is possible to be a Christian feminist”). Also in John 3:16 Jesus says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (“King James Bible”). He does not insinuate that he is dead only for males or only for females; Christ loves us
