[#47] Genesis 3:16b – Do Men Get to Rule Women?

[#47] Genesis 3:16b – Do Men Get to Rule Women?
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/278698017-redeeminggod-47-genesis-316b-do-men-get-to-rule-women.mp3

Genesis 3:16 men rule womenIs it God’s will for men to rule over women? Lots of men sure think so, and one verse that has been used to defend this idea is Genesis 3:16 where God tells Eve that her desire shall be for her husband, but he shall rule over her.

So is this verse describing God’s ordained order for the marriage relationship? Is God commanding women to let men rule them? That is what we are looking at in today’s episode of the One Verse Podcast.

The Text of Genesis 3:16

To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”

In this discussion of Genesis 3:16b we look at:

  • Does God instruct men to rule women?
  • What does it mean for women to desire men?
  • What does it mean for men to rule over women?
  • Why does God say this to Eve?

[#46] Genesis 3:16a – God Does Not Abuse Women

genesis 3:16 pain in childbearingHave you ever heard a woman use Genesis 3:16 to say that the reason women experience pain in childbearing is because God cursed Eve? In other words, have you ever heard someone blame God for the pain that women experience in giving birth?

These are the sorts of questions we are looking at in this episode of the One Verse Podcast.

The Text of Genesis 3:16

To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; In pain you shall bring forth children; Your desire shall be for your husband, And he shall rule over you.”

In this discussion of Genesis 3:16 we look at:

  • The words used for childbearing in Genesis 3:16
  • The word used for pain in Genesis 3:16
  • The question of whether or not God inflicts pain on women
  • The truth that God does not curse or hurt women

[#43] Genesis 3:8-10 – Do Not be Afraid

[#43] Genesis 3:8-10 – Do Not be Afraid
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/271311337-redeeminggod-43-genesis-38-10-do-not-be-afraid.mp3

If you have ever been afraid of God, or have thought that God is out to get you, to punish you for some sin, if you think that the bad things which happen to you in life are because God hates you or is making you pay for something you did, this podcast episode is for you.

We look at Genesis 3:8-10 and see that there is nothing to fear from God.

Genesis 3:8-10 God walking in the Garden

The Text of Genesis 3:8-10

And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

In this discussion of Genesis 3:8-10 we look at:

  • How some Christians read Genesis 3:8-10 to make God appear angry
  • Why God was not angry.
  • How to know what God think about us and our sin.
  • How God responds do your sin.

[#42] Genesis 3:7 – The Greatest Rivalry of All Time

[#42] Genesis 3:7 – The Greatest Rivalry of All Time
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/270237477-redeeminggod-42-genesis-37-the-greatest-rivalry-of-all-time.mp3

Genesis 3:7 Adam Eve fig leavesGenesis 3:6-7 are the central two verses of Genesis chapters 2–3. In a previous episode, we looked at Genesis 3:6, and learned a foundational truth about humanity. This episode reveals another foundational truth from Genesis 3:7.

The Text of Genesis 3:7

Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

In this discussion of Genesis 3:7 we look at:

  • The fourth foundational truth from Genesis 2–3.
  • The ideas that desire leads to rivalry with God and with each other.
  • Why Genesis 3:7 is both humorous and sad.

[#41] Genesis 3:6 – Drawn by Desire

[#41] Genesis 3:6 – Drawn by Desire
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/269295171-redeeminggod-41-genesis-36-drawn-by-desire.mp3

Eve Eating fruit Genesis 3:6This episode of the One Verse Podcasts look at the third foundational and revolutionary truth from Genesis 2-3. We see it in Genesis 3:6.

This study also considers an important concept from René Girard’s mimetic theory to see how a key concept is found in Genesis 3:6. If you want to learn more about this and how these insights help us understand God, Scripture, theology, current events, politics, and even your very own life, I recommend you get started with my book The Atonement of God.

The Text of Genesis 3:6

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.

In this discussion of Genesis 3:6 we look at:

  • Why Genesis 3:6 is the grammatical center of Genesis 2–3
  • The third foundational truth: “Imitation Awakens Desire”
  • How Eve came to desire the forbidden fruit
  • The problem with religious fences is revealed
  • The shocking revelation that Adam was right there with Eve
