Subject: A husband's responsibility |
Bible Note: You're welcome, There, Nonetheless, "in the sweat of your face (hard work) YOU shall eat bread" is God's description of the curse as the result of man's sin. It is a curse, not a command. There's not logical way he can get from a curse to a command. This seems to be a cover-up for laziness, and irresponsibility. I pray the Lord Jesus will give him repentance. Peace, Lionstrong P.S. The woman was also cursed with hard labor in giving birth. It says nothing (neither by description nor command) about the woman providing for herself. And it doesn't say to the man, "you ALONE or ONLY shall eat bread." What's the woman to eat? The curse says nothing about her working hard to feed herself. So who provides for her? The only time you find women gathering grain in the OT is when the have no husbands. (Ruth) The wife's work is in the home not the field. (Prov 31, Titus) Titus 2:3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, Titus 2:4 so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, Titus 2:5 to be sensible, pure, WORKERS AT HOME [my caps], kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored. |
