SNAKES DON'T TALK 2

Snakes Don't Talk
1 Tim. 2:9 


          Paul writing to Timothy about fighting for the faith in the first letter and he comes to possible disruptions within the body in our second chapter. Two disruptions surface from the women in the body. A women needs to understand that her attire can emphasize wrong meaning for her standing in the body. “Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.”   
          Secondary to her attire is her positional state as far as the authority and teaching of the body of Christ. “A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.” 
          The reasoning for Paul's doctrine goes clear back to creation and considers God's design of the woman and the man and states that Adam was created first. After listening to God, Adam willfully uses all Christ had shared with him in co-operation with God's will to place meaningful names to all the cattle, fowl of the air and every beast of the field. Having an unfallen brain using 100% of its capabilities made this a simple task for Adam. The mind capabilities of Adam were unbelievable to accomplish this task. He had a memory which was photographic for he passed on all this information down the line until Moses (26 generations) put it in writing 3000 years later. There is abundant biblical and extra-biblical evidence that Moses wrote the Pentateuch during the wilderness wanderings after the Jews left their slavery in Egypt and before they entered the Promised Land (about 1445–1405 BC). Even the most insignificant detail of the Torah shines with the magnificence and depth of the brightest star.
At the end of this work assignment he noticed that the animals had companionship but he didn't and God saw his heart. Adam did notice that animals don't talk for none stopped and asked how he was doing. 
This was a stupendous intellectual achievement, and reveals to us something of the capacity of man's mind before the Fall. While it is true that many of the 17,000 air-breathing species of modern taxonomy are probably only varieties of the originally created kinds. lt must also be remembered that Adam was confronted with many kinds of air-breathing animals that have since become extinct.
"But for man there was found no helpmeet for him"
        One purpose of this intensive study of zoology was to bring upon Adam a sense of utter loneliness, in order that he might be psychologically prepared for the creation of Eve. Perhaps God even brought the animals before him in pairs in order to impress upon him the fact that he alone of all living creatures had no appropriate companion.
        Animals in some respects, let's admit it, are sufficiently similiar to man that God has to teach us through experience and His word that they are not the same as we are spiritually, morally, ascetically, intellectually. It took Adam a whole day to learn that there was no fellowship possible with animals. There was probably no problem for him to understand there was no difference between himself and microbes, hence, bugs of various sorts and types, but when he saw a dog, a cat, a gorilla, a horse, he may have had some thoughts as to the possibility of communication with these animals that in some respects were structured physically like he was.
        But the blasphemy of evolution is that neither we allow God to speak to us through His word on the subject of their unique characteristics and distinctions from man, nor even from common sense observational experience. You have to have special help in terms of indoctrination, brainwashing with an ultimate satanic source to believe evolutionism, namely that man and animal are the same ultimately in kind, related on the family tree of evolutionary development.
        But when God told Adam through his animal naming, taxonomic analysis experience on day one of his conscious existence that there is no helper there for you, there is none answerable to you, then he discovered that even though they were structured in many respects like himself physically, they were in a totally different realm of existence with only one thing in common, namely the same God Who had designed and created them all. Thus the animal kingdom was not in possession of the image of God. 
        So God then took one of Adam's rib and made him a helpmeet (pairs issue), suitable to him. Adam was created first, then Eve. Eve having not gone through the job of naming the animals did not understand that snakes don't talk. Adam did know this and knowingly voluntarily followed his helpmeet into the death experience.
          We think that Adam should have known God would have replaced Eve after her death but we willingly approve his sin by duplicating both his and her sin in our own walk.

Woman's Position-Headship
[1 Cor. 11:3; Eph. 1:22]
          Paul proceeds first to declare that woman's true position is that of being a helper to man. The nature of that subservient position he is careful to indicate. Here, as was his constant habit, the apostle corrected these small matters by setting them in their true relation to the greater ones, defining the true meaning of temporary things by setting them in relation to the eternal things.
          Woman bears the relation to man that man bears to Christ. The relation man bears to Christ is the relation Christ bears to God. If we commence the argument from the highest fact, the relation of Christ to God, we have at once three great facts to keep in mind.
1. God is equal with Christ,
2. God co-operated with Christ;
3. God is the Head of Christ.
          Carrying this out, we see that Christ made Himself equal with man for co-operation with man, while yet He is the Head of man.
          Again following that argument, the man is equal with the woman in Christ for co-operation with her in Christ, while he is yet the head of the woman in Christ.
          In Gal.3:28 there are those which attempt to take a verse in the context of privilege and attempt to transpose it to the context of position. Poor theological work. Paul speaks on her positional status in 1 Cor. 11:3; 1 Tim. 2:12. Though equal in privilege not positionally. By creation, woman is one stage further from God and Eve was seduced by Satan [cf. Article above Snakes don't talk].
