1 | Is reverence feasible? Always? | Eph 5:33 | Sebkin | 65607 | ||
mommapbs, I hate to butt into a good argument. It seems like you are really doing your best to bash Rabbi Mark who has some really great insight. But reading your rebuke I ask myself the question. Does your husband know what is going on in his kingdom while he is not present with you? I mean, I don't know what my wife is doing while I am not with her. So how could Adam have known what was going on while he was not with Eve? Could you elaborate on that. Did he have a 6th sense? I have been reading your postings. You say a lot of remarkable things that really need to be proven. But you never provide scripture that is relavent to what you say. And when you do provide scripture and I look it up -- it is totally irrelevant to the context. And as far as fearing God. This is a basic Christian doctrine. New and Old Testaments. Did you ever read how the apostle John fell on his face as if dead before Jesus as He appeared before him in the vision of Revelation 1:17? It goes like this, "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades" I am saved. And I fear God. And why do you have such antagonism in your postings for Rabbi Mark? Does he threaten you? Are you afraid of the way He quotes God's Word to support his postings? I can't really see anything that he has said that should offend you so much. I don't think that this forum is meant for the antagonistic attitude you are displaying. And I think there are rules against it. Sebkin |

Greetings Sebkin! I read the post to which you were responding, but I'm at a loss trying to figure out exactly what was antagonistic about Mommabs's post. She disagreed, but did so respectfully. What was it that you considered antagonistic? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thank you Tim for your support, this has been a difficult exchange for me. I have really been thinking a lot about the statements made by rabbi mark regarding Adam and it "seems to me" that perhaps man still wants to blame woman for the Fall. I think it is interesting to compare Adam with Christ. Jesus said that if we love others more than Him, we are not worthy of Him. And if we don't take up our cross and follow Him, we are not worthy of Him. (Mt 10:37-8). I think that this is illustrated very clearly in the Garden encounter with God. Eve chose self over God and ate the forbidden fruit. Adam chose self (bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh - Eve) over God and joined her in disobedience. What might have happened if Adam had chosen to remain obedient to God and act as Eve's intercessor? What is striking to me is that Adam did not trust the heart of God with whom he had an intimate, sinless relationship! To me it is interesting to note that the Lord God called MAN into account (Gen 3:9)not Eve. This suggests (to me) that Adam was indeed responsible for Eve. And then, when confronted with their disobedience, Adam does not accept responsibility for his choices but arrogantly places the blame on God - "The woman YOU gave me . . ." (Gen 3:12) Marital strife is a result of the choices made in the Garden. Both are responsible and both are accountable before the Lord. I agree that the Lord has placed the man in a position of headship, yet the relationship is to be characterized by mutual submission. We are all equal in Christ and each of us will receive the SAME reward no matter how long we have been believers! (As illustrated by Jesus in the parable recorded in Mt 20!) Just some thoughts to share with you Brother! t |
