Christianity cannot reach the next generation with this type of vain posturing.

Your children will become Wiccans if they listen to this. Have you ever even thought about what you preach? You ARE trying to condemn people. (The idea of this post is, let us condemn women for the sins of Adam.)

You can only condemn somebody who is already contrite. If they are not contrite, then what are you doing? How can you expect to do anything other than repel people? How will you interest them in your rebuke? Are there any feminist listening to you, accepting your correction? Or will a feminist read you and become polarized against you?

I cannot believe that you could possibly believe this line of reasoning is fruitful. I am mortified.

You repel, you do not attract.

“You repel, you do not attract.”

You see the words, you do not understand them.

Of course! After all, that is exactly how Christ rebuked people! He only rebuked those who were already contrite!

Like the Pharisees.
And the moneychangers in the temple.

This article is quite good, despite your opinion of it. Eve was deceived by the serpent, but it was Adam that made the conscious choice to defy God in order to be with her, rather than with Him. Adam's was the greater sin, but Eve sinned in her own right as well.
