Eve was made for Adam and from Adam; therefore, Adam was in authority over

her.  Her sin is attributed to Adam the same way that we say George Bush led

this country into war with Iraq, even though some soldier down on the front

line fired the first shot.  Likewise, one of my daughters once went into a

neighbor's house with a friend.  They brought the garden hose in with them

and sprayed their living room down real good.  Guess who is responsible and

who is blamed?  Guess who the man of the house came looking for? That's

right.  Me.  I didn't do it, but because it was my child, it was as good as

if I had done it.

 

This, incidentally, is the reason Paul can talk about Righteousness being

attributed to us because of Christ's righteousness.  Just as bad things come

upon us from those in authority over us, so do good things.  This is the way

that God has ordained it to be.

 

Peace be with you.

David, do you mean my husband should take the blame for my sins??? (What a COOL thought!)Do your wife’s sins accrue to your personal account as well? Izzy
