“But i guess my question to you is, why do you therefore still believe that Eve was not banished. If the one verse seemingly supporting the non-banishment view is wrong (which it is), what else is there to assume she wasn’t banished.”

A couple of thoughts. First, I am not certain that Eve was not banished, I just favor Cheryl’s exegesis of vss. 22-24. But as I said, my interest in that section of the text is minimal. Second, the verse I am very interested in – vs. 16 – while being a brick in your case also stands alone related marriage. I simply don’t think I have to believe x about a in order to believe y about b.
