Satan
convinced the woman in the garden that God was holding her back, and therefore
it was good to override the Lord's word, to reach her full potential...
...and
nothing has changed since that day, has it?
There is
more going on, and there is a lot which can be said about the man too. But
don't skip over that observation, because it has great explanatory power for
much of the issues in our society today. Much of the drive against the
scriptures and for equality, and for women to overcome all the spaces and roles
of men in society comes from the very same drive that Eve gave into in the
garden: she resented that there was something she could not be, and so she
reached out to break the glass ceiling.
The Bible
does not show us just what happened. But what always happens. It shows us also the devil has no new tricks, but he doesn't need them, because the old ones still work.
