Adam's Rib Gives Man Dominion Over The Woman(?)


When God finished making everything, including man, he gave man dominion over all of his creation - except the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Then God told man that he would have to care for the garden, and since man was created from the dust of the ground in the garden, this meant that man had to take care of himself as well.


Then God created the woman to be a helper to Adam in his upkeep of the garden which included Adam himself. When God created the woman (Eve) he took one of Adam's rib to create the woman. This rib represents not only man's flesh, but it also represented an extension of man's dominion over God's creation since God formed man from the dust of the ground and then God gave man dominion over the all the ground which meant that God now gave man dominion over himself (hint: freewill).


When God used Adam's rib to create the woman this represents man's dominion over the woman, along with any offspring, since God gave man dominion over all of God's creation, including Adam's own rib, that is now used to create the woman. Hence Adam has dominion over Eve (hint: man has dominion over the woman) because she was created from Adam's rib which was created from the dust of the ground and dominion over this ground was ultimately given to Adam by God.


Since God instructed Adam to take care of his creation this meant that Adam is now charged with the upkeep of all of God's creation including himself, his wife, and all of his children. The woman was given the duty to help man carry out God's command of caring for his creation (hint: heterosexual marriage and family).


If anyone thinks that this is an unfair arrangement consider that when Eve sinned by eating the fruit of the forbidden tree, the only tree that God reserved exclusive dominion over it for himself, and then she tempted Adam to sin with her by offering him the forbidden fruit, both Adam and Eve obtained the knowledge of Good and Evil that was in the exclusive dominion of God. This meant that while both Adam and Eve obtained the knowledge of Good and Evil God still retains dominion over this knowledge and CAN dictate when and how it should be used!!!


The Judeo-Christian Religion was created when Adam and Eve obtained the knowledge of Good and Evil that was in the exclusive domain of God and now both men and women must consult God for the proper application of this knowledge since God did not give up his dominion of it (hint: we stole it).


People ask why God has the right to judge us since he gave us dominion over his creation in the first place (hint: our freewill). God can and will judge us because the knowledge of good and evil is still under God's dominion and we are obligated to adhere to his wishes in its application in our daily lives.


God Bless


Amen
 
I wouldn't be surprised if you get a :rollingpin. This was a very thoughtful thread my friend, be prepared to defend it from the Eve's.
 
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


As a firm believer in the husband being the head.. I am not subject to any other man...

That is correct! Some women have made the mistake of believing that their Pastor is their head especially if they don't have a husband. They sometimes find themselves in the pastor's bed. THAT'S NOT RIGHT!!
 
And if the husband is involved in sinful behaviors that he demands his wife to take part in, such as dealing drugs, etc., the wife should not submit to him. She obeys God first. He can go to hell (literally) in a hand basket all by himself.

God gave "dominion" to Adam when sin was not present in him. God took away that dominion from Adam after he disobeyed God (Gen 3:17-19,23,24) and has now handed it over to Christ, "the last Adam" (Heb 2:5-18). Now it is not "dominion" but "headship" that Christians must talk about. The "head" or "authority" (Gk exousia) over the woman is her husband, the Head over the husband is Christ, and the head over Christ is God (1 Cor 11:3). And that is precisely why the Christian woman must wear a head covering when she prays and worships in a gathering of Christians (1 Cor 11:4-16). The angels observe Christian gatherings and need to see the symbol of submission on the women, whereas they need to see Christain men with uncovered heads (1 Cor 11:10).

This meant that while both Adam and Eve obtained the knowledge of Good and Evil God still retains dominion over this knowledge and CAN dictate when and how it should be used!!!

Not sure what you mean by this. The paradise of God is in Heaven, and there is no tree of the knowledge of good and evil on earth, or in Heaven. Only the tree of life. What we now have is the written Word of God, which is Truth. Once a sinner is saved, God wants him/her to "come unto the knowledge of the Truth" (1 Tim2:4).

The Judeo-Christian Religion was created when Adam and Eve obtained the knowledge of Good and Evil that was in the exclusive domain of God and now both men and women must consult God for the proper application of this knowledge since God did not give up his dominion of it.

This statement is not in conformity to Scripture. There is no "Judeo-Christian Religion". There is just Bible Christianity and Judaism. Bible Christianity is Christ, and all of God's wisdom and knowledge is in Him. Judaism is a "shell" without Christ. It is as much a false religion as any other.
 
YOU differ :hips :)

Marriage should be a picture of Christ and the Church... A husband is to be her protector.. her provider .. there are a lot of scripture pictures of Christ and the Church and marriage...
 
Isn't it interesting how God created all things other than man ex nihilo. Let there be and there was... but man came from the dust plus his breath and woman from the rib of the man.
 
Biblically the husband is to be to the wife as Christ is to the Church... Jesus is not mean or bossy to us... He( Christ) rules over his body as our heads rule over our bodies but we mess up He dont..

I differ. Christ is the head. He is more worthy than any husband. A womans husband is no mediator. Let them cast the fisrt stone if they think they are greater and have authority over someone else. Thats called a power trip. Thats why some men are selfish stubborn morons who beat and abuse there wifes.

kiwidan my friend Reba is saying that she is not subject to any other man, just her Husband. Of course she is subject to her Husband's Head which is Jesus Christ.

Man's direct creation is related to the fact that God said He would make man in His own image and likeness. When God breathed into Adam the breath of life, He also gave Adam a spirit which would be able to communicate with God who is a Spirit. When Adam transgressed, his spirit died. That is the "death" which was promised to him for disobedience on the very day that he would disobey (Gen 2:17).

God never gave His earth over to man, as in no longer His. We have time set over us as keepers of His vineyard. What happened is that while dominion was given unto the man to tend the garden and the TREES of God's, they were supposed to include God in their doings for they were united to His Spirit.
It was only after the MISHAP due to the second hand knowledge of where Eve ate of the forbidden tree accidentally, being decieved, that man partook of the forbidden fruit to know how to do good and evil when they had no business learning things of this nature as they were mere children compared to God, because it destroys us.

Question: Which Tree did Eve say was the forbidden tree to eat of?
For got to give this scripture as to when Adam was given authority over Eve, it was after the fall as part of her punishment, not at her creation.
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
KJV

Actually, He died spiritually that day, but naturally on the 1st day as well at the age of 930 which is just short of 1,000 yrs, which, since he wasn't suppose to ever die, was the same day in God's timing.
Gen 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
KJV
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

yes but you and I both know we get dragged down that slime trial even though when they pass we don't go to that same final destination.

So you think its ok to have multiple wifes, and a wife is subject to her husband, and her husband is free and can just do what he wants?. That is the most selfish, sexist, stubborn thinking ever.

From where did you arrive at this conclusion? That sounds like a rant. And what makes you think that this is my thinking?

What you should have done is posted a Bible verse that actually says that the husband must be subject to his wife. You won't find that in the Bible.

LOL. That's a great way to put that. No fights and he gets all the credit if we take a wrong turn.
