“As far as a spiritual connection – it just isn’t in the text. Eve isn’t turning to Adam as her Messiah or her Lord. I believe that attaching a charge of sin to a text that has no charge of sin is a big mistake”
Cheryl, this makes no sense in the context after the fall.
Basically, you are saying that God means: Eve you were turning to your husband before sin in the one flesh union and that was good and now you are going to do the same thing and it is still good.. Except for now, he is going to rule over you when you turn toward him.
Is that what you mean? (So how could her turning be good if this is what it means?)
All consequences of the fall are a RESULT of sin. Eve’s choice to ‘turn’ toward her husband has a bad consequence whether it is sin or not.
I hate to say this…but longing to be with our husbands MORE than Christ is a sin. It becomes idolatry. We must be careful because this is what comps teach. It is easy to take a good thing and turn it into an idol.
