WHAT SIN DESTROYED FOR WOMEN

[center]WHAT SIN DESTROYED FOR WOMEN[/center]
The Oxford Dictionary describes MALE CHAUVINISM as male
prejudice against women and the belief that men are superior in
terms of ability, intelligence, etc.
Male chauvinism and the oppression of woman has existed from the
moment humanity sinned. The first account we read is when Adam
said, “THE WOMAN WHOM THOU GAVEST TO BE WITH ME, she gave me of
the tree, and I did eat,” Genesis 3:12. In this account, Adam
blames God for his own failure in obedience and to cover his own
transgression he blames the woman (Eve) whom God created to be
his (Adams’) companion (Genesis 2:18).
Before Eve was created, God brought all the animals to Adam so
that he could name each one, but within the animal kingdom Adam
could not find a suitable helper (v.20). When Eve was created
Adam exclaimed, “AT LAST!” “This one is BONE FROM MY BONE, and
FLESH FROM MY FLESH! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was
taken from ‘man.’”, Genesis 2:23. Does this sound as if Adam
was unappeased by her creation? He sounds happy, content and
excited. Nonetheless, the man degrades, oppresses and rejects
the woman in that instance when God confronts them about their
transgression! Adam made it seem as if it were God’s fault for
creating a damaged women, but read what it says in Genesis 1:31:
“God saw EVERYTHING that HE HAD MADE, and indeed it was VERY
GOOD. So there was evening, and there was morning, a sixth day.”
God, who is omniscient, foresaw the treatment men would have
towards women and said to Eve, “HE WILL DOMINATE YOU,” Genesis
3:16. Was this a punishment? No! This was a warning! It is
not surprising that male chauvinism still exist today when we
read the many biblical passages of the maltreatment of men
towards women. This was NOT part of God’s plan for humanity
because God is a God of love and to think differently signifies
that we defame God’s character and His love.
Today, domestic violence towards women includes human
trafficking; rape; domination; control; manipulation; physical,
mental, emotional and even spiritual abuse; among other
afflictions, but with work correlated towards awareness and
making resources available for women we could reduce this
problem. Bare in mind that by the power of men, this problem
will not cease to exist until Jesus returns to RESTORE ALL THAT
SIN HAS DESTROYED.

Amen, Carmen.
This is so interesting. For years I went to sleep listening to
the Bible. It was so soothing, tranquil, and serene. One night I
wondered about this very passage. And I asked God to reveal the
meaning of the story to me.
In Genesis, when Adam blams Eve, a thought occurred to me. That
story is often presented as Eve's fault. But, if you read
carefully, God made the covenant with Adam before Eve even
arrived.
So, it was Adam who broke the covenant because that covenant was
not made with both of them present.
Still, people have blamed Eve, although she was never a part of
the actual covenant.
When we read the Bible we have to ask questions of God. He
answers, because he has promised us that he would.

So true Lady TT. When Eve sinned she was fully aware that they
were not permitted to eat from the tree of knowledge (Genesis
3:2-3). However, it took the serpent (Satan) who is astute to
deceive her. He must have been studying and watching them
closely. When Satan saw her, he calculated his approach and
knew that she would be the one to cause the domino effect and
thus she was deceived.
Look at this Genesis 3:6:
The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and
its fruit looked delicious, and she wanted the wisdom it would
give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she
gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it, too.
(New Living Translation)
When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it had
a pleasing appearance and that the tree was desirable for making
one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate. She also gave some
to her husband, who was with her; and he ate. (Complete Jewish
Translation)
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it
was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise,
she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with
her, and he ate. (King James)
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that
it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and ate, and gave also
unto her husband with her; and he ate. (21st Century King James
Version)
Adam was with her! He just went along with what Eve said. She
didn't deceive him, nor is there an account of
it.......regardless.....sin entered into the Garden of Eden and
the consequences of it all is still resounding today.

I agree. Eve was deceived by the serpent, but Adam made no
protest, knowing what God had told him as far as the terms of
their covenant.

violence and sexual violence in particular is running rampant in
some countries like india.
by some reports it is worse that ever because the politician
refuse to do anything about it.
police can be bribed and bought easily there.
