Who Sinned First? – A Very Ignored Truth in Scripture
Recently I was listening to a testimony about a gospel artist whose mother abandoned him and didn’t even know who his father was. Then even when multiple paternity tests came back over 50 years later – she STILL DENIED it!
It made me think about a very ignored truth found in Scripture:
Most modern churches won’t teach you this, but the Scriptures will.
Both men AND women have a sin nature, both men AND women need forgiveness, BUT….the Bible also teaches that women ARE *slightly* more evil than men.
Proverbs 30:20
[20]Such is the way of AN ADULTEROUS WOMAN; she eateth, and WIPETH HER MOUTH, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
– An adulterous woman will deny her own wickedness. She is subtle and sneaky. She has no problem lying to herself and others.
Ecclesiastes 7:26-28
[26]And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
[27]Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
[28]Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: ONE MAN AMONG A THOUSAND have I found; but A WOMAN AMONG ALL THOSE HAVE I NOT FOUND.
– Solomon said he found 1 righteous man out of 1000, but 0 righteous women out of 1000.
1/1000 vs 0/1000 = We All Need Jesus!
This is why you must FEAR GOD and never ever stick your private parts into any one that doesn’t also FEAR GOD (your own covenant spouse).
1 Corinthians 7:1-2
[1]Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man NOT TO TOUCH A WOMAN.
[2]Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man HAVE HIS OWN WIFE, and let every woman HAVE HER OWN HUSBAND.
WHO SINNED FIRST?
1 Timothy 2:14
[14]And Adam was not deceived, but THE WOMAN BEING DECEIVED WAS IN THE TRANSGRESSION.
– When there were only 2 people in the earth and everything was perfect, who sinned first? Eve sinned first before Adam.
Job 2:9-10
[9]Then said HIS WIFE unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? CURSE GOD, AND DIE.
[10]But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
– God found Job righteous in his sight but Jobs wife told him to curse God and die instead of keep his integrity.
Clearly ALL MEN AND WOMEN have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. We all need God’s rightousness.
BUT there is a slight difference difference between men and women. Women are the weaker vessel, and men are instructed to protect them and lead by example and teach them.
1 Peter 3:7
[7]Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
“Weaker vessel” is not only physiological, but also emotional and spiritual, which is why satan came to EVE FIRST instead of Adam.
Adam’s issue was that he FOLLOWED her example in sin instead of PROTECTING her from Satan’s evil thoughts. That is a man’s RESPONSIBILITY.
Satan attacks the weaker vessel first with his evil thoughts, so she is tempted to become evil first. This is what these Scriptures demonstrate.
This concept doesn’t change anything about mens and women’s spiritual equality in Christ, it just shows how we were made for different roles and responsibilities so that we can inherit the grace of this life as a TEAM.
Both men and women are made in Gods image and have tremendous value, but we also have different temptations and weaknesses that we MUST understand so that we can maximize our success in God’s Kingdom and in the grace of this life.
In order for men and women to love each other, we must first love ourselves.
This means we must understand our strengths, and understand our weaknesses. We also must become confident in our responsibilities, and become confident in our value.
1 Peter 3:4
[4]But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of A MEEK AND QUIET SPIRIT, WHICH IS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD OF GREAT PRICE.
Proverbs 31:10-11
[10]Who can find a VIRTUOUS WOMAN? for HER PRICE IS FAR ABOVE RUBIES.
[11]The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
