Who’s sin was it that condemned us? Adam or Eve’s and does it really matter since God must have known that it was going to happen since it was ordained that Jesus would die for our sins from before the foundation of the world?
What about one great women of the Bible,Deborah,who was BOTH a female judge and prophetess?
Goes to show God PERMITS women to be LEADERS.
Judges Chapters 4-5.
Because he trusted a woman instead of God. It’s been a disaster ever since.
Born again Christian women are amused when reading the bible and notice that Adam blamed God because God gave him the woman.
This seems an appropriate venue for this story ;
This story happened several months after that episode in the Garden of Eden, when the serpent convinced Eve to offer Adam the forbidden fruit.
God and Adam were sitting around talking one evening after dinner. Adam looked up to the heavens and said to God, “You know, ever since Eve screwed up and we had to leave the Garden of Eden there is something I have wanted ask you.”
With a deep voice that seemed to come from everywhere, God said, “What is it you want to know?” Adam quickly asked God, “Why did you make Eve so beautiful?” God slowly replied “So that you will love her.”
Adam then asked God, “Then why did you make Eve so soft and curvy?” Again, God replied, “So that you will love her.”
Adam looked perplexed as he asked God, “Then please tell me, after doing all of that, why did you make Eve so dumb?”
God casually answered, “So that she will love you!”
As a female also I think there is way too much womanish thinking in this world and that is why Western Civilization is in such a decline. Women are vain and stupid to believe the patronizing “women are no different from men” nonsense. We are not as strong as men (physically or mentally) and lack their ability to sort out issues in a logical and rational fashion. Men need to lead and women need to follow. And if we ever get back to that dynamic we might be able to set things straight again. It’s not looking too likely though.
A man has a reason to kneel before God and his wife.
Let women be subject to their husbands (Eph. 5:22)The lectionary had a pencil mark: a faint arrow leading from Verse 21 to 24.
I ignore the mark and read the passage full. Moans were heard at Verse 22.
In the homily, the priest addressed the verse. "I heard you moan. But let me explain ...", -- he proceeded with the stock reference to "the times".
After the Mass he found me and said "We don't normally read that part, but I think I smoothed it over well enough in the homily".
It is a miracle our Church survives to this day, and God bless Monsignor Pope.
Adam’s sin was a knowing one: He followed Eve into disobedience. It consolidated the rebellion. It was worse.
C. S. Lewis addresses this in Perelandra.
