If the wife's role is to obey her husband and compliment him on how big his muscles are, then why did God need to carry out the rib removal operation?
Cause and Effect: The Curse is Effect
Institutionalized Misogyny
If Adam and Eve had been equal before the curse then they should be equal after the curse, but they have a role reversal. The only conclusion that we can deduce is that before the curse, the woman was in charge.
Spaghetti Theology and Inductive Reasoning
Why are the Bible and popular science (SciPop) completely different? And, why are mainstream theology (spaghetti theology) and the Bible substantially different?
Is Satan Limbless?
Does Satan have limbs? If Satan was in the garden of Eden, and the serpent was cursed to be limbless, what does the Bible say about Satan's limbs or lack thereof?
Enmity
The whole of the narrative of Revelation 12 centers on the enmity, hatred, between Satan, the dragon, and the woman. If we apply the relationship of cause and effect we can again place this event after the fall of man.
Labor Pains
We (that's me and the Holy spirit) only know what we've been told, but everything that we've been told has been given us for a reason. We may ask: what does a prophetic vision of a war in heaven have to do with events on the Earth?
Deducing the Timing of the War in Heaven
We believe that a fact will be the same regardless of what you believe about the Bible, therefore anything which is only true in the SciPop paradigm isn't a fact.
War in Heaven
Many, probably most people, believe that Satan rebelled in heaven, was cast out and fell to Earth, then either influenced or was the serpent which beguiled Eve in the Garden of Eden. We reject this interpretation.
You Shall Die of Dying
Did the curse on the serpent happen immediately, or did it occur in the first generation of offspring? Since we don't know for sure let's consider what God said to Adam about the tree of knowledge.
The Cockatrice
God cursed the serpent to go on it's belly, therefore it can't have been on it's belly. However, did it's legs immediately disappear? Probably not.
