Comment on Genesis 3 by Michael Malik

Genesis 3
3:1 Now the serpent was more a subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he b said unto the woman, yea, hath God said; you shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
(a) As Satan can change himself into an angel of light, so did he abuse the wisdom of the serpent to deceive man.
(b) God allowed Satan to make the serpent his instrument and to speak through him. 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, you shall not eat of it; neither shall ye touch it, c lest ye die.
(c) In doubting Gods warnings she yielded to Satan. 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, you shall not surely d die:
(d) This is Satan’s chiefest subtlety, to cause us not to fear Gods warnings. 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, e knowing good and evil.
(e) As though he said, God forbids you to eat of the fruit, only because he knows that if you eat of it, you will be like him. 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he f did eat.
(f) Not so much to please his wife, as moved by ambition at her persuasion. 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they g knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. (g) They began to feel their misery, but they did not seek God for a remedy. 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife h hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
(h) The sinful conscience flees Gods presence. 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.
(i) His hypocrisy appears in that he hid the cause of his nakedness, which was the transgression of Gods commandment. 3:12 And the man said, the woman whom you gave [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
(k) His wickedness and lack of true repentance appears in this that he blamed God because he had given him a wife. 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, what [is] this [that] thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. (l) Instead of confessing her sin, she increases it by accusing the serpent. 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life:
(m) He asked the reason from Adam and his wife, because he would bring them to repentance, but he does not ask the serpent, because he would show him no mercy.
(n) As a vile and contemptible beast, (Isaiah 65:25). 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.
(o) He chiefly means Satan, by whose action and deceit the serpent deceived the woman.
(p) That is, the power of sin and death.
(q) Satan shall sting Christ and his members, but not overcome them. 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will multiply greatly your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire [shall be] to your husband, and he shall rule over you.
(r) The Lord comforts Adam by the promise of the blessed seed, and also punishes the body for the sin which the soul should have been punished for; that the spirit having conceived hope of forgiveness might live by faith. ( 1 Corinthians 14:34 ).
3:17 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, you shall not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for your sake; in sorrow you shall eat [of] it all the days of your life;
(s) The transgression of Gods commandment was the reason that both mankind and all other creatures were subject to the curse. 3:18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to you; and you shall eat the herb of the field; (t). These are not the natural fruit of the earth, but proceed from the corruption of sin. 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God u make coats of skins, and clothed them.
(u) Or, gave them knowledge to make themselves coats. 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
(x) By this derision by reproaches Adams misery, into which he was fallen by ambition.
(y) Adam deprived of life, lost also the sign of it.

Comment on Psalm 68 by tgailknox

A quick comment on v.18–
In the original text there is no preposition, not the word “for” as the KJV gives or “from” as the NIV uses or “among” as the NASB uses. The preposition is supplied by the translators based on their knowlege of the language (and that would be man’s knowledge, not God’s). However, when the same text is quoted in Ephesians 4:8, the verb is “gave” which would indicate Paul (as God’s penman) is meaning the quote to refer to the gifts God has FOR men. In this case, what are the gifts but forgiveness of sin and eternal life. Some scholars would include in these the spiritual gifts as well.

Scripture is the best commentary on scripture that we have. Isn’t it exciting how God gives us what we need in order to understand scripture?!

Comment on Memorizing Bible verses by Billy

I wrote an iPhone app to help me memorize individual proverbs. I posted it on the iTunes store a few days ago. Maybe someone else will find it helpful. It shows you the verses that you add to your memory list using blanks for words and then allows you to give yourself hints by filling in words or letters until you have the verse memorized.

A question I have always have is whether husbands have a responsibility to encourage their wife to submit.
