It must be said. Adam, you idiot! How can you let Eve trick you into eating the forbidden fruit? Adam & Eve were given dominion over the Garden Of Eden. They had their selection of the choiciest fruit. God told them they could eat of every tree EXCEPT one...The Tree of the Knowledge Of Good & Evil. There's a reason why God commanded them NOT to eat the forbidden fruit. Forbidden fruit is just that, FORBIDDEN. It looks pleasing on the outside, but one bite of that forbidden fruit, and it doesn't bode well. When Adam & Eve disobeyed God, and ate from the tree of Good & Evil, Adam tried to play it off and say "That woman you gave me, she ate the fruit first, and then I ate." Yes, Eve did eat the fruit first, BUT Adam being the head should've checked Eve, and told her "Look, God ordered us not to eat from the tree of Good & Evil; we shouldn't do this." Eve allowed the serpent Lucifer to deceive her, and she deceives Adam. Because of their disobedience, sin came into this world, and that's why we have the BS we do today. Let's be real, God ordained man as the head, right? Right. A man's job is to keep order under his watch, by any means necessary. If there's anyone under his command that will not abide by established guidelines, he must do whatever's necessary to maintain order, even if he must terminate a member of his team. This goes double for husbands & wives. If a man asserts authority (within reason), and his woman refuses to submit, he should banish her on sight. Usually, rebellious women will show better than tell that they will not submit, even if the man is leading honorably. This is why it's important for a man to screen who he puts on his team. A coach's job is to motivate, and encourage his players. How can he do that, and much of his time is spent trying to get wayward players in line. Adam is symbolic of most men today; never want to take responsibility for what happens under their watch. True, no matter how stand-up a man is, and he leads correctly, there are some people that just won't do right. Those are ones he doesn't need to put on his team. This goes out to deflective men: If you want to wear the crown, take responsibility for the ups & downs.
