I wonder where Paul got this from...I mean, Adam was given the instructions about the tree, not Eve.The King s Daughter wrote:
14And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression."
Gen2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
Whatever Adam passed onto her was either inadequate or incorrect. Where God tells Adam he wasn't supposed to eat from the tree, when Eve is talking to the serpent she throws in "or even touch it".
Gen 3:2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
And Adam was WITH her when she was tempted, DOING AND SAYING NOTHING.
Gen 3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
Thanks for that Adam.
I see you arguing about married women, it seems. What about single ones? And the context of Paul's "women are to be silent" is because women were uneducated and were disrupting the church service with basic questions that could be answered at a more appropriate time. Which is why it's in/near the "order in worship" section of his letter.
Also, these verses are, every single one, about church leadership. We see plenty of examples in the bible with women in places of great prominence in the church and leaders of countries outside of the church.
