God’s statement regarding Eve’s desire for Adam-if it is construed as a positive or neutral statement-also doesn’t follow the train of circumstances: Adam and Eve erred (sinned, were deceived, etc.) and these are now the negative consequences.

We could, however, play the devil’s advocate, and consider, as the comps do, that there ARE positive attributes within God’s pronouncement. I personally know comps who believe it is a GOOD thing that Adam ruled over his wife. Their rationale being that since Eve was deceived, Adam must now rule over her to compensate for her deceivability. I mean, if we are going to say ‘why not?’ to Eve’s desire being good, then why can’t we have the right to say the same about Adam’s forthcoming rule? If we are going to consider any part of the consequences in a good light, then we have to be willing to examine ALL the consequences in the same favorable light.
