Episode notes
Biblical "Knowledge"
- The Hebrew verb "yada" means "to know" and implies intimacy, not just factual knowledge.
- This deep knowledge is the basis of the spiritual dimension of sexuality between husband and wife.
Spiritual Sexuality
- Sexuality between husband and wife is primarily about spiritual connection and intimacy, not just pleasure or procreation.
- This understanding will be the foundation for later discussions about sexual immorality and sin.
God's Role in Life
- Eve's statement "I have acquired a man from God" highlights God's role in creating life.
- Every person, even Cain, is created by God and receives life from Him, not just through natural processes.
