Gen 3:11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Gen 3:12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”<\/p>\n
To blame is to think or say that someone or something did something wrong or is responsible for something bad happening. Blame game is a situation in which people try to blame each other for something bad that has happened. ( Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary)<\/p>\n
In the above scenario, Adam refused to take full responsibility. First , he blamed God as the prime cause because he probably thought that if God had not given to him Eve , possibly he would not have eaten the fruit. Secondly, he blamed Eve for giving him the fruit. What was required was a simple admission of the wrong and find a way of ” righting ” the wrong.<\/p>\n
Blame game is a popular game and a destructive game.
\n It never heals – it always hurts.
\n It never repairs relationships.
\n It only destroys relationships.
\n It never unites – it only divides
\n It never builds – it always tears apart.
\n It never solves a problem.
\n It only compounds the problem.
\n( Dr Harold L. White )<\/p>\n
