At about 4:30 this morning I was awakened from my deep slumber by some of the most powerful cramps I've ever felt. As I searched for my special stash of Ibuprofen, one could mistake me for a dope fiend looking for my lost supply. My heart raced a little faster as I came across the small white bottle with the promise of bringing me some relief. I opened it up and to my dismay it was empty. I fired the poor bottle across the room and raised my fist in the air cursing Eve for the physical pain her sin caused mankind... well womankind. But you know what? Where was Adam when that slick talking serpent was tempting Eve? I'm not blaming Eve, nah I'm actually blaming Adam.
After re- reading Genesis 3:1-6 I realized that Adam was in fact present when the Devil was pumping Eve with his lies of her becoming like God. Verse 6 says:
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 did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat
What a revelation?! All this time I thought it was Eve wandering alone in the garden, away from her husband, up to no good when that fool was actually standing right beside her....smh. Eve had been deceived by the serpent and fallen to her own desires to be like God but Adam.... in his case, he was not deceived, he made an informed decision to eat the fruit. How do I know this? Read down a little further to verse 12 when God questioned the couple about eating the fruit:
And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
He didn't say the serpent tricked me (like Eve confessed) he blamed the woman and had the nerve to remind God that it was the woman that He gave him. Just like a man... never taking responsibility for their actions.
So as I dig through my purse and finally find the medication filled bottle, I swallow the two oblong shaped white pills dry, I come to conclusion that I'm actually blaming Adam...lol
* Disclaimer* please note this post was written early in the morning while in tremendous pain and I, the author, don't even believe My account of what happened that day in the Garden of Eden. I'll promise to write my true thoughts another time, when I can give my opinion without bias to either sex...lol
"fired the poor bottle across the room and raised my fist in the air cursing Eve for the physical pain her sin caused mankind... well womankind." LMAO! What a vivid picture painted! I'm gonna read Genesis and let you know if I have the same findings
ReplyDeletelol nice research. It's good to know the truth! hahaha
ReplyDeleteThe exegesis for the 2nd and 3rd chapters of Genesis is adult content and makes us nervous. Why? Because the sin Adam and Steve committed was anal sex--the mystery Saint Augustine almost solved 1600 years ago. (He thought the sin was normal penile/vaginal sex!)
