Is Male Dominance God's Design? Genesis 3:16 Explained | Difficult Passages #15

It's one of the most weaponized verses in the Bible. Skeptics use it to argue Scripture endorses patriarchy. Some Christians read it as God's design for marriage. So which is it? In this conversation, Old Testament scholar Dr. Carmen Imes walks through Genesis 3:16 and makes the case that male dominance over women isn't God's creation design — it's a consequence of the fall. This is part of our ongoing series on difficult Old Testament passages with Dr. Imes. More episodes coming.
