Mark: “Regarding 3:16, no i don’t see it as a continuation of the way things were. I deal with this more in my next post with Cheryl, but quickly, essentially the context is punishment, therefore verse 16 is not a positive thing. The womans desire for her husband is not a good thing, nor is the husbands rule- this is a puinishment. Basically it is a corruption of the original perfect relationship. But i expand more on that in another post soon.”
Mark,
You can’t have it both ways – your “Adam’s authority over” Eve, can’t be both “God’s perfect design” and His “punishment.”
