Quote: Is there a verse in the Bible that states that "The Bible has every sin"? Are some things wrong because they are written on our hearts?

This "train" of thought reminded me of a description of two ways of thinking and was meant to be a joke. The people in the U.S. Air Force had to find a statement in their manuals that allowed them to do something before it could be done, the people in the U.S. Navy had to find a rule against something or they could do it.

You mean like maybe 1 Corinthians 10:11?

These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.


Or....1 Corinthians 6:9

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.



Or maybe James 2:10....?


For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.




Besides, I just gave three examples up there...hey we can toss Solomon in there too, as great as we was, he slipped towards the end there, pretty bad....


There's a whole book devoted to it.


Maybe we should back.up and define what we call "abuse" nowadays versus what they called it back then...


I get more gruff for using the word submissive like it means "slave" when it doesn't. I don't get why the big whoopy do over a woman wanting to be treated like a woman and not have to be turned into some sort of martyr because they used the word "submissive" and somebody else misinterpreted the biblical meaning of it.


Blah, that didn't come out like it sounded in my head lol, time for coffee...

Quote:
I think that we are approaching the answer in the James 2:10 verse (example).

The best that I have heard on the understanding of submission is to understand a loving husband and a loving God, submission to the God who loves us and died to have an eternal relationship with us is different from submitting to a god (Satan) who is roaming the earth to see who he can devour. Submitting to a husband who has no love is not the Biblical definition !!!

Did that come across correctly?

Yes, lol, it did



I guess I believe it's more submission to Gods will of my role as a woman and wife. I don't always just do what hubby says; lol in fact, he doesn't tell me to do ANYTHING at all. I'm the one usually giving orders, "hey I need this if you're going to town", or "we should think about putting up a fence" kind of stuff...and guess what. HE SUBMITS. Because he knows his God given role as provider and protector, the boss man, head of the house.

A coin may have 2 sides, but it takes the 2 sides to make it a coin

Speaking of hubby, he needs your prayers right now. He fell and hurt himself really bad, so we could use the prayers while we decide whether or not he needs to go to the ER....

So I was thinking about ribs....what's so special about the rib bone?



From "got questions"...



Question: "Why did God use Adam's rib to create Eve?"

Answer: The story of “Adam’s rib” is found in Genesis. Genesis 2:18–24 tells the well-known account of how God created the first woman, Eve, by removing a “rib” from Adam’s body and fashioning it into the woman. The creation account clearly indicates that God used Adam’s rib to create Eve instead of making her from the dust of the ground as He had done for Adam. The question also arises as to why God created woman out of Adam’s rib. God apparently had formed male and female animals separately, but the female human was originally part of man—Adam said, “She shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man” (Genesis 2:23).

God used Adam’s rib to form Eve to show that they were actually the same created being, two halves of a whole. The female was not created as a separate being, second to the male. She was formed as part of the initial man, in order to be a “helper suitable” for the male (Genesis 2:18). While Adam was in a divinely induced sleep, God “took one of the man’s ribs and . . . made a woman” (Genesis 2:21–22). Eve was brought into being to strengthen and powerfully help Adam; she was made from the same “stuff,” and she was every bit as perfect a creation as man and every bit as patterned after God’s image and likeness (Genesis 1:27).

The woman made of Adam’s rib was designed to be a “suitable helper” for Adam (Genesis 2:20). The Hebrew phrase is translated “help meet” in the KJV and “companion who corresponded” in the NET. It is not synonymous with assistant, servant, minion, or subordinate. The Hebrew phrase, ’ezer kenegdow, in all other instances in the Bible refers to powerful and extensive aid and support. In most cases, the phrase was used to depict dominant military forces or armed men. Other passages, including Deuteronomy 33:7, 29, and Exodus 18:4, use the same phrase to discuss the potent interventions and deliverances of God Himself. Woman, therefore, was created as a complement to man, as an integral part of man, and as a powerful and influential companion for man.

Furthermore, the Hebrew word translated “suitable,” kenegdow, carries much more meaning than simply “fit” or “appropriate.” This word also means “opposite or contrasting.” This implies that the two beings were designed to work and fit together perfectly, not just physically but in all ways. The strengths of each compensated for the weaknesses of the other. It was “not good” for the man to be alone (Genesis 2:18), but, together, Adam and Eve were something far stronger and more magnificent than either of them could have been alone. Adam had to lose a rib, but he gained so much more.

Why did God use Adam’s rib? A closer examination of the Hebrew also reveals another surprising element of the story. The Hebrew word translated “rib” in Genesis 2 is tsela. The only other instance of the English word rib in the Bible occurs in Daniel 7:5, but the Hebrew word used there is different. In other passages where tsela or its variants are used, the word is translated “side.” For example, in Exodus 25, 27, and 35, the words tselo (variant) and tselot (plural) are used to refer to the “sides” of the Ark of the Covenant or the “sides” of the altar. In 2 Samuel 16:13, David encounters a cursing Shimei moving along the side (tsela) of a hill. In these contexts, translating the word tsela as “rib” would not fit.

This raises the possibility that Eve could have been fashioned of more than just Adam’s rib. In the Genesis 2 passage, tsela could actually be translated as Adam’s “side,” rather than Adam’s “rib.” If the appropriate translation is that God removed Adam’s side, how much of his side did God remove? It is possible that Eve was constructed literally from half of Adam. This would bring added meaning to Adam’s declaration that Eve was “bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh” (Genesis 2:23).

Whether God created Eve from Adam’s rib or from his whole side, He accomplished the act in such a way that showed the woman was to complement and complete man in the integral union of marriage. Woman was created to be “beside” man, not beneath or above him. In salvation, man is no more “worthy” and woman is no less a citizen of God’s kingdom. “There is neither . . . male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). They stand side-by-side as fellow “heirs . . . of the gracious gift of life” (1 Peter 3:7).
