The New American Standard is the most accurate English translation, but it can be hard to follow. I like more contemporary versions (New Living Translation). I tried reading "The Message" but didn't like format of it. Plus, some of the language the author uses is lame. It sounds like some old guy trying to be hip and it comes off corny.

As far as Adam ratting on Eve, he should have. That is a prime example of a man not accepting the responsibility of being the spiritual leader of his household.

Absolutely correct.

I agree about The Message as well. It's way over the top in some of the word choices. It makes me cringe a little. I think trying to compete with the KJV is utterly futile. I use the NASB because, as you said, it is the most accurate.

[QUOTE=Lady Brave;326854]Both Adam and Eve failed the test. They were both punished. End of story. We could debate forever who was the biggest screwup.[/quote]

Yup...and our punishment has lasted for life of man and exists everyday! LOL. We were stupid to allow you to decieve us, and we still allow it to this day.

[quote]You will never convince me that a swift kick in the nads is more painful than childbirth. I've never known a man to die from it either, but I do know of women who have died giving birth, my great grandmother being one of them.[/QUOTE]

Women don't die from pain in childbirth...they die from childbirth when complications arise such as bleeding issues, or stroke from high blood pressure (ie: pre ecclampsia / ecclampsia). We were referring to pain factors.

I know I can't convince you of that, but from having similar injuries to female friends of mine (shattered ankle, broken bones etc) and them saying that pregnancy was easier on the pain meter, I can only assume that child birth is not as painful (not that it's not painful...clearly it is very painful) it's just not the MOST painful pain a woman can experience. Seeing is I would rather break a bone than get a swift kick to the nutts, and knowing the male obsession with protecting that area, I can only assume that it does indeed hurt more...but again, for a shorter period of time.
However, I did know a guy that got kicked in the nutts in H.S. and one burst. (I'm cringing right now FYI) He could not move and literally had to be put on a stretcher (he couldn't get on it himself) and taken to the hospital where they had to remove it. He was in constant pain for a full 36 hours before that familiar nutt pain went away. That is an unusual scenario, but this guy had gotten in motorcycle accident about year before that and tore off skin and broke bones, and he said on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst, that pain from getting kicked in the nutts was a 21. He couldn't stop crying the pain was so harsh.

LOL...WHAT??? The man tried to protect the woman. Leave it to a woman to twist that loving move.

Re: The Never Ending Thread
 

Just an FYI LB, I am 100% glad it's you women that have to endure childbirth...I wouldn't want to do it, and I have a lot of respect for those of you that get through it naturally.

Protect the woman? LOL. When God asked Adam if he had eaten from the tree Adam replied, "It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit and I ate it." Eve then blamed the snake. They were all a bunch of whiners IMO. ;)

Nothing much. Other than spending today defending all of womankind, it's been pretty uneventful.

I am up to my neck in class work. I havent played a game of naked twister in over a week and a half. My non gender specific neither region is burning from all of them jalapenos that I ate earlier, and I am at work. Other than that I am fine.

My wifes cousins in CO. are in the following lines of work. Ironic yes, bullshit no!

Brokerage Firm (Not sure what his role is yet), Real-Estate (they buy, sell and rent out), and a small carry out pizza place (they own it).

The Real Estate semi tycoon is married to the Broker guy and the Restaraunt owners are married to each other. If you are interested let me know. Like I said, they are in Breckinridge which is a couple of hours from Denver.
