women are often guided by their heart and men by their mind. Are women guided by feelings spiritually vulnerable?

I find it interesting that you used the term "spiritually vulnerable" instead of "spiritually discerning".

I've found that many women tend to use their entire being to make decisions. Being fully engaged in life helps make wiser decisions.

Men are also capable of being fully engaged, mentally, physically and emotionally. But the stereotype states otherwise.

Basing any decision on feelings alone gets people into trouble because feelings fluctuate. It's what it means to be human.

To that extent, that a woman may be more likely to make a decision based on feelings alone, I'd say those women might be more vulnerable but only if they expose themselves to emotional appeals by manipulative people.

If you believe your emotions betray you more than help you, I applaud you for seeing that in yourself and encourage you to take steps to keep it from controlling your life.

Take time to make decisions. Think things through. Don't make any decision where your feelings are stronger than logic. Make sure logic is at least equal in strength.

The women in my life are incredibly intelligent. I find them to be more discerning than vulnerable. But that comes with age and experience.

I'll even venture to say that one of the reasons why women feel free to explore their emotions is because they know they can survive any outcome. Men are more in touch with their mortality and less likely to take emotional risks.

Women are very powerful and without proper guidance can get lost in a sea of emotional explorations. I encourage women to find other powerful women who have found proper balance and learn from them. Most men can't even begin to appreciate the raw power of women. That's why many men resort to physical dominance - being a bully is the only power men are taught works.

May you find your path of power and enjoy the emotional landscape along the way. :)

Making decisions based on your feelings is dangerous, because it is quite easy to manipulate feelings. I Timothy 2:13-14 indicates that women tend to be easier to deceive. On the other hand, Proverbs 7:6-23 speaks of young men who lack sense and are easily seduced by prostitutes.

We all tend to make unwise decisions based on feeling occasionally, and it does make us spiritually vulnerable. I believe that is what 2 Timothy 3:6 is talking about: "weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions . . ." Proverbs 11:14 advises that having multiple counselors is safe. Also, Psalm 111:10 says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So fearing God as you should is the beginning of wisdom, and wisdom helps you avoid bad decisions.
