Not Just A Mom

[ILG]

There is a special word for these types of words. It's called a Palindrome. Impressive that I know a fancy word like palindrome, isn't it? That makes me pretty impressive.

Sounds like a machine gun.

[Adam]

Woman=nurturer and Man=protector is a very broad generalization and cannot be applied to all men and women.

Why is this a broad generalization? This is Biblical.

If we go back to the very beginning of creation with Adam and Eve, Eve is called the "mother" of all living.

Gen. 3:20 "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

The word Mother is synonymous with giving birth, nurturing, and taking care of.

Adam was not given the task of mothering, Eve was.

Adam's job was to protect, and provide for his family, and Eve was to be the mother of all living.

When they sinned, and both were cursed, Adam's curse was to live by the sweat of his brow (work), and Eve's curse was to be in childbearing (mothering).

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;

19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

So we see that herein lies the very clear differences in the genetic makeup of man and woman, and from that distinction we understand that men have to work all the days of their life, and women are to find themselves in the role of motherhood all the days of their life.

I took him to mean that they don't always follow the roles they were designed for.

And yes, I was going to follow up with that, with his comment about the effeminate man and tough woman being married.... the original plan in the garden was destroyed by sin, and things have not been right since, but we can understand from this passage the way things are intended to be .... although the curve balls of life can change many things.
