Show notes

It was all "very good" until the rebellious angel launched his attack at the Tree. Each human responded differently. But the main punishment applied to them both. "In the day you eat from it you will die."

Some claim the woman was really The Temptress. They treat pagan ideas like Pandora and the box as the true truth of the Garden of Eden when the opposite is true.

Read the important details in Dr. Joy Fleming's book, Man and Woman in Biblical Unity, Theology from Genesis 2-3.

Joy Book. Part 1. Tru316.com Jan 01, 2023

Show notes

Here is Part 1 of our serialization of Dr. Joy Fleming's book Man and Woman in Biblical Unity, Theology from Genesis 2-3.

The human race was and is God's delight. This early part of Genesis tells of two human beings, each specially "handmade" by God. It speaks of how they related to their Creator's care and command. Because two people were created, societal interplay is observed between them. And because they were responsible for their own actions, the Creator deals with each one individually.

In Genesis we discover that both persons share equally in

the image of God (Gn. 1:26-27);
the charge to be fruitful and multiply (Gn. 1:28);
the mandate to rule over the world God created (Gn. 1:26-31);
the enjoyment of God's gracious bounty in the Garden (Gn. 2);
and even in the name "Adam" (Gn. 5:2).

Neither person of either gender has greater intrinsic value than the other. They are partners in the grace of life. The text of Genesis 2 and 3 tells us of the Creator who graciously reaches out to the two sinners, and how the first couple experiences God's love as well as the consequence of sin.

1 Peter 3:1-7 Witnessing Spouses Dec 04, 2022

Show notes

KEY IDEA. The husbands first referred to in 1 Peter 3:1 need to be "won" to Christ. Then in verse 7 Peter begins with the Greek word for "Likewise." Their wives needed to be won to Christ as well.

There has been much speculation about the meaning of these verses. Most of it misses the mark. Much of it espouses incorrrect theology. It is time to recognize this is simply the longest passage on unequally yoked spouses in the Epistles.

Women in Ministry in the Bible Nov 20, 2022

There were women in ministry who were preferred over men in the Old and New Testaments. Do you know their names? We look into this and more.

What example does the Bible give us when we ask about women in ministry? Men will look seriously on women in ministry. Women will be encouraged to practice their gifts.

1 Cor 14:34-40 Another Quotation Refuted Nov 06, 2022

Show notes

Place quotation marks around verses 34 and 35 in 1 Corinthians 14. This shows that these words came from others, not Paul.

Our Bible translators should have been doing this all along. But those who get Genesis 3:16 wrong miss the meaning in the other key passages on women and men like this one.

Once Genesis 3:16 becomes clear the other passages become clear too.

Paul vigorously responds to those who proposed the ideas quoted in verses 34-35. He labels them as proponents of Jewish legalism that had no place in the church of the risen savior Jesus Christ.

Look for our forthcoming book in The Eden Book Series. It is Book 4 entitled "Because of Eden,"

1 Cor 11:10-16 Women are free indeed! Oct 23, 2022

Show notes

Women are free to follow Paul's liberating traditions! In 1 Cor 11:10-16 Paul appeals to the church as a whole and to the Greek subgroup of believers. The plain Greek in verse 10 simply says a woman is in charge of her own head. There should be no restrictions placed on women in church or at home.

1 Corinthians 11:4-9 Counterproposal quoted and rejected. Oct 09, 2022

Show notes

In 1 Corinthians 11:4-6 Paul quotes the counterproposal he received from the Jewish legalists. In verses 3 and 7-16 he refutes them and restates his teaching. Go Deeper?
