1 | Woman's sin worse than man's? | Eph 5:33 | Rabbi Mark | 65643 | ||
Dear Debbie Now I will agree with you that Adam attempted to place the blame on God. And this was a defiant act on his part. But for Adam to state the simple facts about what Eve had done is in no way conclusive evidence that he was doing it to place the blame on her. And even if he was blaming her, wasn't he justified in so doing? I don't see how this is significant to the real question at hand. It seems to me to be a kind of side issue that was brought up by Robert to thwart accurate biblical instruction on the subject. After all, his post was full of opinionated rhetoric that would take any minister days to straighten out and answer correctly and accurately. As far as Eve being alone in the garden it is definitely implied. Can we be certain? Perhaps not strictly certain. But taken in context with the way it was written it is reasonable to believe that if Adam had been present his part in this whole thing would have been recorded. I don't believe God would have left out something that important. It is not consistant with His writing in the rest of the Bible. You however, are correct in saying that I do not have proof about Adam taking the fruit to share with Eve what was to come. This is purely my speculation. It is probably what I would have done if I had been Adam. But I offer it as an obvious opinion -- to show that it is as valid as the opinion offered to me by mommapbs. I would never teach it as a doctrine. But I should refrain from such embellishments. It really doesn't do much to further the Truth of the Word. And you do have excellent insight into stating that perhaps Adam not only turned dominion of the earth over to Satan, but also in a sense, turned dominion over to his wife. I'm not aware if this perspective has ever been investigated. It would have to be studied exhaustively to sustain validity of the concept. But it has merit. Clearly, however, if Adam had turned dominion over to Eve, God certainly laid down rules to thwart woman rule when He said, "...Your husband shall rule over you." |

2 | Woman's sin worse than man's? | Eph 5:33 | glory777 | 65705 | ||
And thank God He did lay down the rule - although the feminist movement would not agree. Some interpret "Your desire shall be for your husband.." to mean wanting to dominate over him, and I think that is probably true. You can't have two heads in a corporation making different decisions and have a company survive- neither can a family have 2 heads making opposite decisions and still survive, as we have seen all too often in our culture. Yet, the "natural" tendency is to take dominion from the husband for so many wives, myself included. Yet what a release when you can turn that over. I think a lot of women don't understand because they have never tried it, it goes against what we have been trained and seems to make our role in the marriage seem less (srchng - yes, I am a woman!)when in fact, it gives us more time and energy to allow us to keep more of our focus on the role God intended for us to have.

3 | Woman's sin worse than man's? | Eph 5:33 | Mommapbs | 65745 | ||
Greetings Debbie! Years ago I prayed that my husband would assume spiritual headship in our home. One Sunday morning while driving to church (the church I grew up in) he turned down a street that led to a different church. We have been there ever since! I had a choice to make all those years ago. I'm glad it was to be submissive - for in reality, God had answered my prayer. Does this mean I still don't struggle with his decisions? Of course, I advocate for "my way" who doesn't? But in the end, it is my husband whom God holds accountable for our family (which includes me) and he takes that more seriously than my whining. Thanks for your input. Blessings on your day! mommapbs |
