Not the Same

A busy week lies ahead. I beg your prayers as I balance things. Thanks.

13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. (1 Timothy 2:13-14, NASB)

Here Paul tells us his justification for his teachings concerning the appearance and conduct of women in the church. There are two:

1. Man was created to handle such things, women not, and
   
2. Satan did not tempt Adam, but Eve, allowing him to knowingly transgress without having been deceived and thus in God's sovereignty to hold power over her.
   

In my limited experience, when a woman does not acknowledge the husband's greater responsibility and role, it's because she does not acknowledge God's rule over her life.

Men and women are different. God made things that way and we need to recognize and accept it. (For any naturalist readers, it's true among animals as well; the lioness hunts for the male, the rooster crows, etc.; innumerable differences.)

Mankind is happiest when living under God's supervision and design.
