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.
- Genesis 3:6
Therefore,
just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus
death spread to all men, because all sinned—
- Romans 5:12
This verse says NOTHING about Eve. Adam failed to stand up
and protect his family. Sin entered the world through Adam’s failure as a man.
Is there really any wonder why the world is in such a state
today? Where are the men!?
For I
looked, and there was no man;
I looked among them, but there was no counselor,
Who, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Indeed they are all worthless;
Their works are nothing;
Their molded images are wind and confusion.
- Isaiah 41:28I looked among them, but there was no counselor,
Who, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Indeed they are all worthless;
Their works are nothing;
Their molded images are wind and confusion.
Because we fail our families as men, because we are selfish
boys, God moves His hand mightily against us. The consequences of our failures
are dire and severe. God is pretty clear about the consequences.
Therefore
I will give their wives to others,
And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to covetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
- Jeremiah
8:10And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to covetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
Thus says
the Lord: ‘Behold, I will raise up adversity against you from your
own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall
lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
- 2 Samuel 12:11
You shall betroth a
wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but you
shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its
grapes.
- Deuteronomy 28:30
Are there problems in your home? Be a man. It is your
responsibility to take care of and lead your family. God will not hold your
wife responsible for your failures.
“I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry,
Nor your brides when they commit adultery;
For the men themselves go apart with harlots,
And offer sacrifices with a ritual harlot.
Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.
- Hosea 4:14
