Definition: The English word "adversive" comes from the Greek word "adversus," which means "against." It's often used in a negative sense to describe someone who opposes or challenges something. In the context of the Bible, it might refer to someone who is opposing God's will or desires. For example: - In Matthew 6:24, Jesus commands his followers not to be opposed by the people. They must "go and make disciples of all the nations." - The Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible is a parable about the evil of trying to understand one's own thoughts, feelings, or actions. So while it could describe someone who opposes God or opposes what God wants for them, in more literal terms it can also be used figuratively to express opposition, challenge, or criticism.
