Re: A Candle in the Darkness
Adam and Eve had equal standing before God before the fall. There was no concept of headship or defined roles for their conduct. God's response to the sin of Eve was to change her relationship in respect to Adam and Himself. She was told that her desire would be to her husband and that he would rule over her. From this point forward in scripture man is in a role of spiritual leadership and as the head of the wife. Adam's sin was that he listened to Eve rather than God.
Eve failed to consider Adam and God's warning against the tree of knowledge. The temptation grew so strong in her mind that she sought to be like God. Her actions started a chain of events which were to have a direct affect not only on herself, but also Adam and the entire creation. She assumed headship over her husband in that her decision directly affected him without giving him opportunity for input. Therefore Eve was really to blame for the sinning.
