Healing for Him
Genesis 3:17-19…… 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; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 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.
Very popular verse and equally popular interpretation for many Christians.
(Male and female) man had departed from God’s initial order and had become like Celestial beings in their knowledge of good and evil. A choice for either subsequently needed to be taken and the choice determined life existence (or the lack thereof).
In order to help man choose rightly… righteous judgement was pronounced by God on both the male and female man. For the male man, it was the loss of authority over the earth and a subjection to it rather than rule. For female man it was a subjection to (a fallen) male and this through fear (please see Healing for Her).
By pronouncing a judgement of subjection for the male and female man, a work of redemption could earnestly commence for both genders/ all humaity. While the female was subjected to greater fear through righteous judgement, the male wasn’t. However, the male man (as the appointed ruler for fallen men – male and female) was subjected to propensity for greater evil desire that limited his ability to assume both ruler of the female and the earth.
Although the judgement of the male man being ruled over was not fully revealed in the life of Adam, it was in subsequent generations that followed him.
Genesis 4:7…… If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Strong warning was given to Cain (Adam’s offspring) to rule over the desire upon which sin is based but he didn’t heed this. His disobedience and manifest judgement became a legacy for subsequent generations.
2 Peter 1: 4……. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Evil desires/ lust precedes sin and sin ensnares so that all that sin are slave to sin and subsequently death.
Romans 6: 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
James 1 :15…….. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Clearly, the male man was subjected to his fate of subjection but a remedy exists!
Romans 8: 20- 21 ……For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
2 Peter 1 : 4…..Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Cure
First… think long and hard about Christ. Pray as well and come to a decision what to do with regards to Him. I advice to accept Him and His doctrine. Besides accepting Him and His doctrine, it is important to bear the fruits of His Spirit to retain Him and His doctrine in your Life.
As the fruits of His Spirit are borne increasingly, we become better positioned to know Him and this is where Life/ redemption for the male man is.
John 17: 3…….And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
We also find a transformation as we see Him for who He truly is personally (not a derived/ taught knowledge), i.e behold Him face to face. Crucially, Christ dwells in the Light and fellowship with Him requires openness that includes male man’s strengths and weaknesses. The more submitted the male man becomes to Christ and knowing Him…. The less evil desires/lust has over him and Christ’s redemption is made more manifest.
The more the male man refuses Christ… the more evil desires ensnare the male man and crucially females that have been subjected to His rule. With the redemption of the male man and female man….. equality is also restored so that in Christ there is neither male of females but rather service to Him.
Galatians 5: 22 – 23 ……But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
John 15: 4 – 6 ……Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
1 John 7 – 9 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2 Corinthians 3 :18…..But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:11….. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.

This is truly a deep research into God's words. Male and female equals to man. Hmm...I suppose a lot of things that is practiced in societies today are basically tradition that can not be related to God's words; however, following God's principle, the relationship between man and woman would be more defined.
NB: you may need to include your email so that I may inform you I have replied your comments...
Please have a look at "Is Faith a Psychological Deception" on my blog, labelled reality and leave a comment because you have deep knowledge on the word of God.
