Bible Note: Dear Beja, It's good to see your post again and thank you for your input. Am I reasonable and in biblical sense that God has already granted Adam such superiority or authority before the fall when He created man (first) and woman (later), and only after the woman's being tempted and sinned, through His sentence of punishment, the ruling authority was made or proclaimed explicitly? Would the degree of authority differ according to the setting or context, i.e. private domain or public domain? Thanks again for your further insights. Shalom Azure P.S. I don't quote the scripture at this point as those you have used are applicable in our discussion. |
