Blame-shifting is among the first sins committed by man. When both Adam and Eve decided to disobey God, it was not long before Adam shifted the blame to another. When God called to Adam in the garden to hold him to account, Adam pointed to Eve, not himself. It is significant that God called to Adam first and not to Eve.

I can’t answer all of these difficult and complex questions, but I can offer a warning.

The image of God is what gives us worth as humans. Throughout history, those who deny the full image of God in the weaker vessels—whether in black people, in Jewish people, in unborn children, or in women—have ended up perpetrating some of the most horrifying atrocities in history. If you make the image of God contingent on power, then you make human worth contingent on power.
