Maybe I miss something but didn't Eve seduce Adam into eating the fruit? Not quite seduce but he loved her so much that she could convinced him to eat the fruit. I see in this that even though Eve was naive and was convinced to eat the fruit Adam loved Eve enough to defy God. Love is more powerful than ANY other source. It might be looking into it to far for meaning but God sent Adam out because he loved Eve more than God and Eve didn't want to be stuck under the power of someone who would place in front of her that she couldn't EVER have. It wasn't greed, it was contempt for someone who would refuse to show the respect that everyone deserved. She disliked that he would say he loved them but make them bow to him. Unfortunately many men were made in "his" image. Woman has an instinct to get all she can to share with her family. Power is needed and respect is wanted. She is needed to create more life and, because of instincts, to take care of her husband. Doesn't she deserve to be equally respected. Both God and woman give life. Man assists and is needed for love, care, and reproduction. He also deserves equal respect.


Wow, that was deep!!
