Gen 3:16

Why is the punishment of Eve "he shall rule over you" so often explained as a command to men? E.g. in the Pulpit Commentary it is described as a confirmation of the dependendable position of the woman as when God gave Eve to Adam as a help-meet.

Now the punishment to Adam is not seen as a desirable thing in God's eye - He does not wish the earth to be barren and thorny, yet it happens as a result of sin. Yet the punishment of Eve is commonly commented as a commandment of God - even though God clearly speaks to Eve and not to Adam here. Can anyone explain?

Thank you for your time:-)

John 6: 51 - 58

To FRED SCANLAN

Further down we give you instructions how to find us on the Internet and invite you to review the entry 'This World's Strongholds' on the 'Current Events' page of our website. Yes, the Medical Profession is indeed one of the big strongholds that has people in bondage. The 'Current Events' page is a collection of thoughts and discussions on today's current events and how the content on the website helps to explain and examine them and put them in a 'spiritual' context.

As a direct result of religious and made-made doctrines and commandments (Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7; Col.2:22), history has proven that mankind does not follow the first three commandments (Ex. 20:3-7), bur rather follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ (Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9). History has also proven that this whole world has been deceived as confirmed by the Word of God inRevelation 12:9, and history has also proven that 'Religion' is a deception that Satan is using to transform himself into an angel of light and an apostle of Christ (2Cor. 11:13-15).

You can learn more about our Ministry in Christ by Googling our 'Names' or the article "False Apostles and False Christs' or 'A World Deceived'. There is also a 'Contact' page for further communication. We invite you to review the 'Letter of Introduction' posted on the 'Introduction' page of the website. It highlights some of our work. Please note that our website was visited last year by people from over 160 countries. There are a total of 193 countries throughout the world plus the Vatican and Palestine that are listed as observer states.

It should be noted that in over 36 years of service we have never collected/received, solicited or requested donations. The gift of 'Life' was freely given and freely do we give to all those that believe (2 Kings 5:16; Matthew 6:26; 10:8).

Seek, and ye shall find (Matthew 7:7).

In His Service.

Because of Satan's beguiling.

Watch what you hear.

John 16:33 These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Brian D.'s comment on 2020-09-03 22:12:48:

It's not exactly a quotation on abortion but look up Jeremiah 32:35. The people of Judah were sacrificing their children in the fires to the god Molech, something that never came into God's mind that they should perform such an abomination.

Human life begins at conception. God knows a person before they are even born into this world. There is plenty of Scripture verses which indicate this is so.

Adam's comment on 2020-09-03 20:15:24:

I may choose answer some questions if genuine. When I do so it's to be helpful, but no one is entitled to others' time and effort. Some questions are easily answered by a 2 second Google search. I think you're the same person who said some political things in a previous thread and your language was a bit strong. I will go ahead and share some verses in case your question is genuine. Matthew 19:14. Matthew 18:3. Exodus 20:13. Psalm 139:13.

God, Jesus and the holy spirit are we.

The Godhead Explained's comment on 2020-09-03 17:34:50:

US is the LET US in 2 of the Godhead scriptures. They were discussing a situation amongst themselves: 3 Persons in the Godhead: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

Romans 1:20

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:9

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7; 1 John 5:7

John 10:30 and Acts 17: 27-30

Write those down. It comes up in conversation a lot.

Adam's comment on 2020-09-03 11:29:29:

Hi Caleb, us is plural, because the trinity is one God but in 3 persons or personalities. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Bible-Verses-About-The-Trinity/

Caleb's comment on 2020-09-03 10:52:00:

Us refers to what? More gods?

The Romans Road's comment on 2020-08-14 23:34:05:

24 Wherefore God also GAVE THEM UP to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

(The reason why we care enough to witness to friends and family and pray to the Lord of the Harvest).

GOD actually said the man has become like one of Us and NOT become like Us

jimoh olatunde's comment on 2020-08-13 05:35:55:

What GOD actually said was that

clint's comment on 2015-04-27 08:41:47:

question: we 've had a discussion and there are two trees mentioned in this chapter. Where was the tree of life? Was it hidden? God said that they would die aspirtiual death if eating of the tree of knowledge. So where was the tree of life? And what is it?

Arlin Farriester's comment on 2014-10-22 18:59:55:

The tree of Life is Jesus

David W Jessup's comment on 2014-08-17 11:15:48:

I was taught that Adam and Eve would have lived forever, had they not eaten the forbidden fruit. However we have God 's statement regarding the necessity of keeping them away from the tree of life lest they live forever. Does that not imply that although they might live very lengthy lives eventually they would face death even if they had they had remained obedient to God?

Grant's comment on 2014-01-23 07:35:51:

Sorry trinitarians, the phrase God the Son or God the Spirit is not found in original translation of Gods word.

Nkosinathi's comment on 2013-12-25 02:12:29:

When JEHOVAH God says us he is talking to his Son JESUS (read John 17v5) when God created heaven and earth and everything in/on it he was with his Son and myriads of angels(read also Job38v4-10)

hesborn obare's comment on 2013-10-11 10:35:27:

here God the Father is refering to the God the Son and God the Spirit when He say lest man become as one of us live for ever
