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 |
