A Woman's Role Is Never Violating The First Commandment

After the sin of Adam and Eve God judged them both. Eve was told that her desire will be for her husband and he shall rule over her. When God made this pronouncement he set in motion the salvation of mankind through the birth of God's only son Jesus Christ.

Consider that Jesus Christ is God become man therefore when Jesus Christ was in the womb of Mary the 10 Commandments were still valid, especially the first commandment. The very First Commandment states that you shall have no other God before me.

When God judged Eve, and said that her husband shall rule over her, God was preparing the woman to one day carry God's only son Jesus Christ. In the story of Joseph and Mary, Joseph ruled over Mary his wife therefore Mary had no possibility of being her own person, or God.

God recognizes the authority of the man but not the woman for this prevents the woman from ever pursuing the thought that she could ever become like a God, which was what Satan told Eve she would become if she ate the forbidden fruit.

Even though Jesus Christ was in the womb of Mary he was still God become man therefore there can be no violation of the First Commandment. Mary, as a woman, had no authority and no possibility of violating God's first commandment of being a God before God when Jesus was in Mary's womb. If Mary had the same authority as a man then Mary would be a God before God because Jesus Christ would be in the womb of Mary and this would violate the very first commandment.

Many women lament that all authority was taken away from the woman in the Garden of Eden. But God in his infinite wisdom was preparing the woman to carry the infant Jesus which would become mankind's salvation. If a woman had any authority then Jesus, upon being conceived by the Holy Spirit, would instantly violate the first commandment that prohibited having any God before God.

There are other examples of the first commandment being preserved by taking all authority away from man. When the Hebrews were wandering in the wildness they were being guided by a Pillar of Fire and a Pillar of Cloud. The pillars were Jesus Christ and all the Israelites were forced to give up their authority and live a meager life so as to not violate the first commandment which prohibited placing any God (as themselves) before God who was Jesus Christ as the Pillar of Fire and the Pillar of Cloud.

Another example of the first commandment being preserved is where Jesus' disciples lived as the Israelites did in the wilderness with no authority of their own simply so as to not violate the first commandment of not having any God, once again themselves, before God, who was the person of Jesus Christ. All authority rests with Jesus Christ.

Other examples of the First Commandment is our church attendance. Many people say that they don't get anything out of going to church. But we're not suppose to judge church attendance on receiving any benefit. When we go to church we are establishing that we will put no God before God, meaning that the God's we make for ourselves like our job, business, school, recreation, etc. are left behind when we attend church.

Still another example of the First Commandment is our own dress. Consider that we have the indwelling Holy Spirit, who is God, and whenever we dress immodesty, with the goal of glorifying ourselves, we are placing another God before God. Is it any wonder why 'worldly' Christians are always lamenting the lack of peace and serenity in their lives when they surround themselves with self-glorifying materialism that places their 'worldly' Gods (tattoos, other religious beliefs, LGBT, etc.) before God (as in the indwelling Holy Spirit) which continually violates the very First Commandment.

It is clear that in the Garden of Eden, when God judged Adam and Eve, he was preparing mankind to receive his only son Jesus Christ, who would be God become man, to ultimately die on the cross as a substitute for all of mankind's sins. Believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and you'll receive forgiveness of all of your sins and rest assured that upon death you'll receive eternal life with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.
God Bless
 
I've heard every explanation known to man as to why men should have all the authority and women should be the subservient ones, however, this is a new one. The judgment of a husband having rule over men is a curse that can be broken by Jesus. Jesus broke those curses and the cross. I had that curse and the Holy Spirit lifted it from me. I know the exact time and place it happened. Both men and women are commanded to follow the 1st commandment. In Galatians 3:28 it says, "There is neither Jew no Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you all one in Christ Jesus." Jesus elevated the role of women when he was on earth. There were powerful women that followed him and paid for his ministry. The only people that didn't run away when He was on the cross were women. The first person He appeared to when He was resurrected was a woman. Phillips daughters were all prophetesses. I don't by what you are saying.

That never happened ugmug.

When Paul spoke of "man and woman" in the church(es) he spoke of Christ, THE SPIRITUAL MAN and the CHURCH, the woman.

In this light we all keep our heads "covered" with His Words, over our own.

The notions that this means any woman of flesh IN CHRIST must keep silent before a flesh man IN CHRIST, is patent utter fleshly nonsense.

Eph. 5:
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
 
therefore when Jesus Christ was in the womb of Mary the 10 Commandments were still valid, especially the first commandment.
ugmug,
No one has ever been saved by obeying the Ten Commandments, the ones that tried went to Paradise/Abraham's Bussom. In Matthew 27 51-53 we find thhem running through the streets of Jerusalem, ready to go with Jesus to Heaven.

So why were the 10 Commandments written? Paul explained to us that they are the teacher. In Matthew 5:17 we find Jesus telling us He did not come to abolish them but rather, that He came to fulfill them. Jesus lived His life without breaking a single one of the Ten and it is our duty, Sacrifice To God, to live as closely as possible to the way Jesus lived.

The Ten Commandments are our teacher, just as they were for the Jew before Christ. People use the incorrect teaching that Jesus abolished them fo a license to sin first and then repent until the4 next time they want to sin... WRONG! The Ten Commandments are still teaching us to live holy lives.
