I don't think that unto thee shall be his desire or and you shall rule over him is talking about sin at all. I think it is talking about the birth right between cain and abel (gen. 3:16 note the way shall be is used). if the interpretation of this passage is off then i don't even know how to approach the points you raised except more from a predestination vs. non predestination side of the argument. but i don't necessarily think that this passage is referring to that particular topic... now ephesians... there is a tricky and confusing book, not that the entire bible isn’t but that book deals a lot with the whole predestination thing. So back to genesis…. So as I read that part you were talking about, you were right when thinking about it that way it didn’t make sense at all. Some scholars though interpret that word sin (they do in the new testament) as sin offering…. So then it would say if you don’t doest haha doest( old king james so funny) well then sin lieth at your door. Now put in sin offering for sin…. So if you don’t doest well a sin offering can be made for your sin. But anywho just thought I would take it from another perspective cause if you just read the passage straight up without john steinbecks perspective it doesn't make sense as referring to sin as him.....let me know what you thinkBeccaBunshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296366312026833440noreply@blogger.com
