Towards the devil, but that in no way changes the context of verse 16. "I", supposedly declared God, will punish womankind with the suffering of childbirth. Thus the agony of childbirth is not presented as the work of satan but rather as a punishment from God. I am a Christian and I accept the Nicene Creed, but I am not a Scriptural Fundamentalist and I do not and will not attempt to excuse or condone the obvious human errors in the Bible, the cruelty of Genesis 3:16 being one of them. |
ok. just keep in mind that this 'cruelty' as you call it is a punishment for man's initial sin. maybe you should look into the the Greek and Hebrew presentation. you want me to post them?
