Naked Rebellion
Q: In Genesis Ch. 3, Eve is confronted by the serpent as it tempted her to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which she gave to Adam. Why didn’t Eve see they were naked before Adam ate, and why did Adam not chastise Eve, and rebuke her for listening to the serpent, or rebuke the serpent and cast it out of the garden?
All my life I have heard the teachings that it was all Eve’s fault for the fall of humanity, and that women have no place in holding leadership in the Body of Christ. I don’t know Greek or Hebrew and would love to know what the original scripture has to say about this issue. Darlene
