In Genesis 3:11-12 it says; [11] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? [12] And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. The problem we have today in the Christian's world, as well as the secular world.. is that people don't being in trouble, being at fault and having to apologize, or being accountable for their actions; ergo lawyers. More than likely it's an ego thing. While I know this thread was for humor.. if I may humbly offer one thing I've noticed.. we've got a lot of boys out there in the bodies of men who are not accountable & find it easier to run in the opposite direction or blame someone or something else for the most illogical, irrational reasons. In verse 12 it is much like Adam.. the very first man, is trying to pass the blame onto Eve instead of taking accountability for the actions in the Garden of Eden that day. "This woman that you sent me..." Today there are innumerable ways to avoid accountability and be a boy rather than a grown man who does accept accusation and consequence as a result of it if he is guilty of something. Both genders do it, however if we're going to be a spiritual leader perhaps we should do so by example, and both show and admit we've made the mistake instead of trying to get out of it or blaming someone else. Intellectual honesty with both yourself and others, as well as God can go a really long way.. more than likely through the firmaments to Heaven as God will see and hear the man who lives by truth, and does not have issues with being "wrong" or making a mistake. May He bless you all richly now and forever, amen!! Post Reply
