“Lin, I absolutely agree with you on this bottom line. You are correct that comps make an idol of the husband and I would add that they make him an inter-mediator between his wife and God. He becomes the one who God must speak to, so that God’s will is only revealed through the proper ‘channel’ of the man. This is not scriptural at all.”

I agree with both of you on this point. Certainly there is nothing recorded in Genesis clearly saying that Adam was any sort of mediator between Eve and God. He is never shown acting “priestly.” In fact, the only things recorded about him are his death in Ch.5:3 and that he had sexual relations with his wife.
He’s not shown teaching “Biblical Manhood” to his sons Cain and Abel. The only thing I see clearly shown is his having sex with his wife. Other than that we only presume he was struggling with the ground by the sweat of his brow to eat grain because God said he would.
