Jesus, yes...but the rest of the Biblical males, no....

Which means you have to pull apart the writings and think “Is this truth, or the bias of the hand of the author?”

I’m not saying I’m anti-Christian-— I am saying that there are those of use who don’t find as much comfort in the Bible as others take for granted.

I guess it all depends on how you read into it.

Jesus is different from the rest of the males because He is perfect and He is God.
The rest of the males are imperfect humans - after the fall.

We see how Adam resorts to blaming the woman within seconds of the fall.

So I find the contrast comforting because it confirms to me that the attitude is the result of a sinful nature, and not the way God intended, otherwise Jesus would have shared those same traits.
