As far as Adam ratting on Eve, he should have. That is a prime example of a man not accepting the responsibility of being the spiritual leader of his household.
Absolutely correct.

I agree about The Message as well. It's way over the top in some of the word choices. It makes me cringe a little. I think trying to compete with the KJV is utterly futile. I use the NASB because, as you said, it is the most accurate.
