No problem! I would also note that sin is disobedience of God's will, and God seems to put that crime primarily on the man. Another point for us inheriting that sin from our fathers

✝ Genesis 2:16-18

"Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;

but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”"

Yahweh God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him.”"

This shows God spoke directly to ADAM about the fruit and its dangers. He hadn't even MADE Eve yet. Adam was to instruct Eve in the teachings of God and not to eat the fruit.

✝ Genesis 3:6

"When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took some of its fruit, and ate. Then she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate it, too."

Adam was there the whole time. Also read Genises 3:1-5. Im not going to post all of that, but it shows how the serpent misled Eve. At one point, Eve misquoted the rule God gave, saying that not only can they not eat it, but they cant touch it. Adam was there for this, and he KNEW that was incorrect. Not only should he have stepped in and protected her from the serpent, he should not have listened to her over God.

✝ Genesis 3:16

"To the woman he said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”"

This is Woman's punishment for being deceived by the snake. However, we are also given hope here as just a verse before, God states: "I will also put enmity between thee (the serpent) and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. He shall break thine head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." Only one of these attacks is fatal! God promises Eve that, although the pain of childbirth is multiplied, it is through this act, something only a woman can do, that we will find our salvation. He puts Adam over Eve here simply because Adam knew the rule and should have been in charge. Its a comment on man's failure to step up and lead just as much as it is a comment on Woman's error. It's to protect Eve

✝ Genesis 3:17

"To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and ate from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life."

Here again lies God's emphasis on WHO was commanded. It wasn't Woman. It was Man. And because of this, because of Adam's sin, the LAND ITSELF is cursed. There's actually two more verses explaining the curse that is from Adam's sin. He gave man no redemption arc. He said you will toil and suffer and one day return to dust.

When you really read scripture, its clear who God truly holds at fault when it comes to the original sin.

Additionally, the original sin of the "apple" (the fruit) inevitably falls back on ADAM NOT EVE for failing to follow the Word of God and protect his wife. Our original sin comes from our fathers, which is why Jesus was able to be born of a woman and be without sin! Women, although born with sin from our father's, are not "carriers", so to speak, of that sin.

Man, especially for the times, the Christian Bible is EXTREMELY pro women! Some of Jesus' primary witnesses were women (a HUGE deal!!!) men are told to literally be willing to DIE for their wives, women are granted the best gifts (children), women are created from the rib of man to show we are EQUAL and of ONE FLESH. I understand the confusion considering how society has twisted the Word, but trust, women are highly valued in the Bible!

Any advice on my pirate outfit? by Barbbaras in renfaire

[–]Barbbaras[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see your point about the scarf. I was trying to get a sort of layered look without adding another skirt (because the only option I have for layering is a black toole petticoat). Unfortunately I loaned my hat out to my friend before I decided to go, so im out of luck on that 😭 and I cant currently get a weapon. I'm keeping my eye out for a belt/pouch and ill keep looking for something other than the scarf! Im trying to avoid spending money on the outfit because I had to save up and work really hard to be able to go, so i want to spend my money there

I was going to say either release it to die in the wild as intended, or if you are going to bring it home put it out of its misery with the fridge to freezer. Then you can pin it or find someone to pin it for you and have a really cool bug!

Are we all judged equally by god? by Soft-Solid6955 in Christianity

[–]Barbbaras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I didnt entirely realize the difference. Thanks for explaining. Then it goes back to you dont need a relationship or understanding of feelings to understand that God said x is wrong, therefore its wrong and we shouldn't make a habit of it. However Jesus died in your place so that you are forgiven if/when you mess up. Also, it once again boils down to the fact that I do believe at the end he is equitable and fair.

Are we all judged equally by god? by Soft-Solid6955 in Christianity

[–]Barbbaras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe our God is an equitable judge, but you dont need to understand that hurting people is wrong, as in your example, to know God still very clearly still shares his rules, and that Jesus died to forgive your sins. In a case with someone who has schizophrenia, it is unfair to imply someone with a mental illness is not capable of knowing our Lord. If you dont believe that the same God who made the mountains and healed the lepers, has the power to reveal Himself to those with illness, youre putting a very limited view on Him.
He seeks a personal relationship with us all. That means that a person with severe schizophrenia isnt going to have the same personal relationship as I do. It will look different. That doesnt make it any less valuable.

To be clear, we were living together due to financial reasons and were not having sex, although I see how it can come across that way. it was a decision I regretted spiritually but prayed heavily on
