Is 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

By Jeremy Myers

5 Comments

Have 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

[#45] Genesis 3:14-15 – The Serpent and the Seed

By Jeremy Myers

11 Comments

Does God curse animals and people? Genesis 3:14 indicates that God cursed the serpent. But what did the serpent do to deserve being cursed? And what is the whole thing about the serpent crawling on the ground and eating dirt?

And then there is Genesis 3:15 which talks about the serpent striking the heel of the woman’s seed, but the seed crushing the serpent’s head. What is all that about? Is it truly a prophecy about Jesus?

These, another other related questions, will all get considered in this episode of the One Verse Podcast.

The Text of Genesis 3:14-15

So the LORD God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

In this discussion of Genesis 3:14-15 we look at:

Did God curse the serpent?
What happened to the serpent?
What does it mean for him to crawl on his belly and eat dust?
Is Genesis 3:15 a prophesy about Jesus?

[#44] Genesis 3:11-13 – The Blame Game

By Jeremy Myers

14 Comments

There are six revolutionary and foundational truths in Genesis 2–3. Today we see the fifth.

These truths help you understand God, Scripture, society, culture, and yourself like never before. The one we see today is absolutely critical for understanding why God appears so violent at various places in the Bible.

If you have ever wondered how to understand the violence of God in the Bible, make sure you listen to this episode.

The Text of Genesis 3:11-13

And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

In this discussion of Genesis 3:11-13 we look at:

The fifth foundational and revolutionary truth from Genesis 2–3
Why God asks Adam about his nakedness
God does not blame Adam and Eve for what happened
Adam blames Eve; Eve blames the serpent. Ultimately, Adam blames God
Why humans blame and scapegoat others
How God is the ultimate Scapegoat in Scripture and history
Two ways of reading Scripture and how Jesus shows which way is correct

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

By Jeremy Myers

4 Comments

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.

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.
