Lest we begin to think that males are the only ones at fault and females are only the victims in earths history...we need to look at things with a more sweeping lens.
God made man to subdue, and have dominion over the earth,...that is quite the responsibility...a heavy load indeed!
Man was also given the task of tending [keeping and protecting] the garden that God had placed him in.
God made the woman to be man's equal and to be his helper in this mind blowing goal.
Earth's history shows us that the man began to fumble the ball early on in the game.
A serpent [Satan, the dragon] entered into God's...mischief was in his heart.
The man's responsibility was to confront the intruder [who was contradicting God] and to have dominion over him...to overcome him...and at the very same time to protect all that was within the garden...especially his beautiful bride.
But the first man wasn't up to these lofty responsibilities...he laid back...he didn't act, he didn't confront...he didn't speak against evil...he didn't protect!
He threw his responsibilities into the wind!
And what did the woman do? Did she encourage the male to play the role of a man...the role that God had given him? Did she encourage him to confront, to overcome, to speak truth, to protect...To take responsibility?
No, she was to busy grasping at the wind, trying to snatch what the male had let fly.
The first man sat before his version of the T.V...watching the very first session of Ultimate Fighter...the serpent versus his wife...it really should have been him in the octagon...doing a little ground and pound...but...whatever man.
God had not told the woman to be the primary contender and protector...she was to encourage and coach the man in this role...therefore...as she stepped into the ring, she did so unprepared and untrained...and was beaten down...and killed.
All while her coach potato husband sat and watched! Playing the "whatever" game.
As King Solomon once said..."there is nothing new under the sun".
Males today are called by God to be responsible, they are called to have dominion over the earth, to subdue it.
They are called to submit to the High King of heaven, with all they have and all they are.
This means they are to use their bodies in such a way that honors God.
God created sex to be enjoyed [remember, God made the male and female body]...but this sexual relationship only receives God's blessing when it is exercised within the perimeters that God made for it.
God ordained the first marriage, it was to be a covenant relationship of love, security, intimacy and permanence...and the sexual experience was to be fully enjoyed within that marriage relationship...period!
Knuckle heads today just want sex...they want to receive pleasure from the sexual experience...period.
They don't want love and security and permanence...yuck...they just want sex!
Women, instead of helping the males be men...only add to the problem...
Women in many cases do desire a lasting relationship...but they are fearful that if they say "no" to the males advances [to his lack of responsibility] then she will lose him...and thus throws her responsibility into the wind also.
When the man and woman fell into sin...the man was cursed in such a way that his labour was now going to be toilsome...it was going to be hard to make a living, for his wife and family.
The woman's curse was that now there was going to be suffering in child bearing [and rearing].
Watch how crafty knuckle head is [he's not half as stupid as he looks].
The male whines and cries how hard it is to pay the bills...to make a living for his family.
The female should tell him to "suck it up Princess", encourage him to use his gifts and talents to overcome and subdue the world around him...
Instead, she leaves the children in the care of people who won't love them half as much as she does, puts on her suit...and goes out into the world to take up the males part of the curse.
But now watch this...you know its true...in most cases.
The female takes up half of the males responsibilities...but does it work both ways?
Who still does most of the cleaning, most of the cooking, most of the diaper changing, most of the up in the night with junior, and most of the grocery shopping?
You know...don't you?
Its the woman.
The male sluffs off his responsibility [that is his sin], the female takes up his responsibility [that is her sin...and folly]...and the world falls a part around them...just like in the Garden of Eden.
