Cheryl: God isn’t silent. God said in Genesis 3:17 “because you did (this) and (that) cursed is….” God not only turns Adam’s excuse around as a charge of sin (the first “because” cause), but He adds the words “listened to the voice of your wife” which is an indication that the watchman listening to his wife’s deception in silence was a grave sin.

Adam was the designated “keeper” of the Garden. A look at the Hebrew word for Adam’s commision to “KEEP” the garden and the greek word for a wife’s commision to KEEP the home will confirm that neither job is about domestic servitude. The commission is to be a WATCHMAN and Titus 2 confers this responsibility upon wives. “Keeper of the Home” – OIKOUROS.

To rephrase Cheryl’s observation:
“the watchman listening to her husband’s deception in silence is a grave sin!”

BTDT! I repent!
