The question I want to raise and try to answer today is one that is repeatedly neglected in Christian feminist treatments of Ephesians 5, namely, What is the positive, practical difference in a marriage between the man’s role as compared to Christ the head, and the woman’s role as compared to the church, Christ’s body? He could have come down in anger, yelling, “Adam, front and center for your court martial and execution!” He could have come with a lecture: “Adam, you’ve blown it badly. But the implication is that God came looking the same day Adam and Eve sinned. Verse 14 applies mostly to the snake as an animal; verse 15 applies mostly to Satan. It goes off to tell us our faults. Adam and Eve just had to eat of the fruit God distinctly said to not eat, (Genesis 3:3). But there is no good reason for husbands and wives not to like what the Bible says here. Again and again, you hear feminists say that “head” does not mean leader. What is left of headship when spiritual leadership is surrendered is a hollow shell. Even many Christians have wrong ideas about how God deals with sin and guilt. For example, Patricia Gundry writes, “The meaning of head is not that of ‘leader’ but of ‘source,’ ‘respect,’ and ‘responsibility’” (Woman Be Free, 71). They hid among the trees. But notice what he says (3:10): “I was afraid because I was naked.” Not, “because I sinned,” but, “because I was naked.” He had been naked every other time the Lord had walked with him in the garden. The headship of a husband is compromised if he takes no initiative in setting goals and is constantly goaded by his wife to make some decisions. The answer is, “God, I’m lost.” Before God can save you, you’ve got to admit to Him that you are lost. But the real problem was, and still is, it is a fearful thing to be exposed as a guilty sinner in the presence of God. Does this mean that we should not exhort sinners to seek the Savior? He asked the man; 2. If you come out of your solitude with the aroma of Christ lingering in your life, your wife and children will sense intuitively that you are at the helm of the ship with God’s hand on your shoulder. As I read Christian feminist books and articles on this passage, my main disappointment is that they seldom get around to this question. Jesus said, “The one who comes to Me, I will certainly not cast out” (John 6:37). When I was a kid growing up in Minnesota, my family had a summer tradition. When you found him, he wouldn’t look you in the eye? It’s Your fault.” The sinner’s guilt is seen in himself and in his relationship with others. My question is: What are the positive, practical differences between a husband’s role and a wife’s role implied by these different comparisons? 9 But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?" '” (Genesis 3:9). Brian Borgman Adam, Where Are You? But be courageous. That would minimize the seriousness of sin and compromise His holiness and justice. The Bible teacher, John Hunter, makes the point that people who do not know Jesus Christ are never called “unsaved” in the Bible. God could have zapped them both on the spot and started over with a new couple. 1. -- Adam, Where Are You? The way this works is, people sin and they know they’re guilty, but they rationalize by thinking, “Yes, I was wrong; I shouldn’t have yelled at my wife. He’s trying to save his own skin, even if God zaps his wife off the face of the earth. How could anyone could be so stupid!”. Just as He asked Adam and Eve, the Lord is asking you today, “Where are you?” When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden and God came to call them to account, it didn’t matter that Eve had eaten first. He should not have to be nagged into action by an alert wife. But Adam’s blaming Eve did not foster their relationship. The crescendo of our salvation is that, together with the rest of God’s people, we have God as our Father. Philo (a contemporary of Paul) said, “Nature conforms the leadership of the body on the head” (Special Laws, III, 184). Best-selling books, like Healing the Shame That Binds You [Health Communications, Inc.], by recovery guru John Bradshaw, promise to rid us of “toxic shame” by “Using affirmations, visualizations, ‘inner voice’ and ‘feeling’ work plus guided meditations and other useful healing techniques” (Back cover). Adam and Eve heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool (lit., “the wind”) of the day. But here it is the seed of the woman, not the man, who will bruise Satan’s head. If so, the command really means this: “Adam, I have given you 24,999 trees to enjoy. Some of them will accept what you have surrendered and become your mother. Perhaps, like Jonah, you are one of God’s children, and yet you are running from His purpose for your life. So they made an attempt to cover themselves with fig leaves. Let me provide the skin when you take back your role. The husband is to be the head, the leader. It was commonly held in Paul’s day that since the head was on top of the body and had eyes, it was the leader of the body. It is a remarkable verse in that it refers to the seed of the woman, not the man. What I have in mind here is that a husband takes the initiative in forming goals for the family. And so instead of coming to God, who can deal with our sin, we run, foolishly thinking that we can hide from His omnipresent gaze. Adam where are you? The serpent is cursed to crawl on its belly and eat dust. God asks Adam, after he has eaten the forbidden fruit. Are you hiding, afraid of God, because of sin in your life? FBC - LAMB.

Text: Genesis 3:8-19Speaker: Brian Borgman12/7/14[Listen or Watch] Adam and Eve’s sin incurred deep and far-reaching consequences. What are some positive, practical implications of being called “head” that make the husband’s role different from his wife’s? “And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?” (Genesis 3:9). God’s question told Adam two things: “You’re lost, Adam; and, I’ve come to find you.” Every person needs to know the same two things: He is lost without Jesus Christ; and, Christ came to seek and to save those who are lost. You’ve got to know where you are before you can receive directions to where you need to be. This refers to the battle of the ages between the ungodly, who are children of their father, the devil (John 8:44), and the children of God. It is freeing because it’s God’s deep design. So God asks another question: “Who told you that you were naked?” This question was intended to show Adam that something new had taken place inside him, namely, the birth of his conscience. That didn’t stop Christ. This reminds me of when I was a kid, and I would be at the department store with my mom – kids, department stores were a thing mothers would drag their kids to for HOURS at a time so they could try on 18 shirts and then not buy anything. If it weakens, disease will occur in a dozen other areas with no apparent connection to the heart. At least Eve was nice enough to blame the serpent! And even His expelling them from the garden was gracious, in that He protected them from living forever in their fallen condition. Although I think in the card we called it “a grieved question,” I want to suggest to you that this is, first of all, an unusual question—unusual in this respect, first of all: that it turns on its head the common notion, which is that man is looking for God, and God is hiding from man; that somehow or another, God has taken the telephone off the hook, if he exists; he is not returning calls, he cannot be reached; that he is hiding somewhere in the universe, and there must be a mechanism whereby we can go and discover hi… Men are too proud to admit that spiritually they must play catch-up to their wives. What is unique about your God-intended role as wife? Christians of all stripes affirm there is power in the blood of Jesus. We are the church. If God had not graciously defeated our adversary, we never could have been reconciled to Him. But when Christ arose from the dead, the serpent was crushed on the head. How can a couple break out of the guilt-blame cycle in a marriage? Adam was hiding because of his sin and rebellion, and God was asking where he was in relation to Him. God never ignores sin or brushes it aside, as we do. The first was the tree of life. You might say it is a specific part of it. They were naked! Categories: English, Genesis; Reading: Genesis 3:9 Preacher: Rev James Maciver; Series: Church at Home, God's Questions; (2) That God’s seeking was gracious is seen in the manner He came looking. She can put her head in the clouds. (See Margaret Howe, Women and Church Leadership, 55; Patricia Gundry, Woman Be Free, 73.). But for now I must limit myself to verses 14 & 15, which show us two ways God graciously offers reconciliation to guilty sinners. Immediately Adam and Eve lost the open relationship they had enjoyed with one another (“naked and not ashamed,” 2:25). Humble yourselves. They also blame their circumstances, which is really to blame God, who ordains our circumstances. God said, “Adam, where are you?” And so here, in this context when Adam and Eve could rightly have expected to be condemned to hell for their sin, God promises the defeat of Satan and the victory of the Redeemer who would come from Eve’s descendents. The only way Satan could hurt the heart of God was to get Adam to rebel against God too. He asked his Son; 3. But then he weakly admits his disobedience, “and I ate” (3:12). There is no mistaking it. No sinner deserves God’s favor. Fear is a scrawny enemy. How could you do this to Me, after all I’ve done for you? A man knows in his heart he should be leading out in decisions about issues of lifestyle, and doctrine, and church affiliation, and financial policies, and the discipline of the children. And deep down he knows that part of his personhood is compromised if his wife has taken the leadership of the family. Then God turns to Eve and directly asks, “What is this you have done?” Like Adam, Eve tries to pass the buck. (Some commentators say that it did, but that now God attaches new significance to that fact.). It’s almost funny! By that I do not mean that God is not pointed and direct. I do not mean that wives should never say they are sorry. Head is used for leader in the Old Testament. But is Abraham’s laughter at God’s promise in Genesis 17 really a faithful response? 5" that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands by the body of 6" elders."
