Ultimate Responsibility

Comparison of Earth's size and internal structure through history

Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life.

(Romans 5:18) NKJV

Man, Adam, bore the ultimate responsibility for what happened in the garden of Eden because he was the one who had been told not to eat the forbidden fruit. We’ve used deductive reasoning and the curses that were placed on the woman to conclude that she had been given to him to inspire and motivate him to carry out the Lord’s will.

Agree to Disagree

He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

(Judges 5:25) KJV

Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

(Judges 4:21) NKJV

What is submission? Is it pretending that there’s nothing wrong while you’re being abused? No. No one should tolerate that. Submission is simply agreeing instead of arguing. If your husband is an abuser you only have to agree with him for as long as it takes to call social services and get away.

Help can be Active or Passive

So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.

(Acts 8:30-31) NKJV

If we had to fix a car what would be the best kind of help? A grease monkey would be helpful, sure, someone to hand us tools and hold the drop light. It would also be helpful to have a supervisor, someone who had experience fixing cars who could show us what to do. Both are help, one is active, the other is passive.

A Woman Clothed with the Sun

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.

(Revelation 12:1) NKJV

We’ve proposed that women were created in heaven, the firmasphere, on the 4th day. God already knew that she would be the template for the companion of the man who he would create from the dust of the Earth, the biosphere, on the 6th day. Removing one of Adam’s chromosomes was necessary to ensure biological compatibility between the two entities, but why? What was the point?

Cause and Effect: The Curse is Effect

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

(Genesis 3:16) KJV

If we understand cause and effect, then the effect is God placing the woman under the authority of the man, therefore the cause was her having formerly had authority over him. That’s logic. Adam chose to submit to his wife when she handed him the forbidden fruit. Whether it was intended or not, at that time she was obviously the leader.

Rib Meat Help Meet

And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

(Genesis 2:20-23) KJV

A female analogue of man, made from the dust of the Earth, wouldn’t be capable of inspiring him or giving him the motivation and guidance he needed to be able to rise above what he was and subdue the Earth.
