12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
Well that didn't take long to muck it up. 3 Chapters in and mankind is off an running wild. Simple instructions and we can't follow them. Also note, not taking responsibility for our own actions--its someone else fault I'm in the situation I'm in...good work Adam.
So not much has changed in 2000 years. Generally speaking we struggle to follow God's direction for us and we often don't want to accept responsibility for our own actions. Its not going to change for all of humanity. On a micro level though I can work to do better myself in understanding God's directions and doing my best to live into them. Fortunately we are working with a net--thank you Jesus.

I find this discussion to be very interesting. It shows me the weakness of men....right from the beginning. But, how did men assume to dominant role in the world. It doesn't appear that Eve was a very sub-dominant thing here. Right? I see parallels to this in my own life. Sometimes I let Kim talk me into things. I don't always put my foot down.
ReplyDeleteFascinating how men and women are different and how we fall short in the eyes of God is unique to each gender.
Then you sprinkle in the 32 different genders that society says we have......what a mess!
If you had written thin when we started this blog I wouldn't even know what you were talking about. Somethings have changed over time.
