It is inferred that Adam would have had to pass that command down to his wife -- kind of like being part of his responsibility as the leader of his household. This is perhaps another reason why Eve was so easily persuaded by the snake: she didn't actually hear God give the command himself. When the serpent says, "Did God really say" (Genesis 3:1), he's likely asking her if she knows that God really said that. He's planting doubt in her mind so that the temptation he's about to lay on her is more persuasive.<br /><br />This would be yet another reason why it's so important to know exactly what it is we believe as given to us by the Spirit of God himself. Not according to someone's blog or Tweet or podcast, but actually from God's word. Granted, there are some concepts in scripture that are difficult to understand. Peter even acknowledges that in 2 Peter 3:16. It is for that reason it's important to consult a study Bible or book on the subject or a pastor or what-have-you rather than relying upon our own interpretation (blogs and podcasts are a lot more opinion driven and less reliable). But that's not to excuse the need for our own personal study time in the word. Know what God says. Our study comes first and the consultation comes second. Well said.Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128723124515519378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3411103972435769850.post-58827445792051849032011-08-24T16:00:15.999+01:002011-08-24T16:00:15.999+01:00Ah, I see.

Thanks for satisfying my curiosity :) The prayer I mentioned was Anglican (I think), and I wasn't sure if people of other denominations in the UK may use it.

You may enjoy a book entitled "Bad Girls of the Bible" > http://www.amazon.com/Girls-Bible-What-Learn-Them/dp/1578561256<br /><br />The author presents the stories of Biblical women in an engaging, narrative format and then provides everyday life application.<br /><br />On another note, I noticed your comment on "The Stepping Stone" blog regarding mealtime prayers. Just out of curiosity, was your grace prayer, "Bless, O Father, Thy gifts to our use and us to Thy service; for Christ’s sake. Amen"? I'm American, and I was just wondering if that was a standard prayer for folks in the UK.<br /><br />I'm really enjoying your blog. Love the candid style :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17011003014149977283noreply@blogger.com
