”’If Adam had a responsibility to his wife to stop the serpent decieving her then he had authority over her in that respect. Otherwise you could not say that Adam failed in his responsibility.”’

This makes no sense at all. In life when see a person being deceived by another God would wish us to point that out. We fail in our responsibility as a Christian if we sit back knowingly watching someone being deceived, and not say anything..and watch it happen. To me that is common sense, and has nothing to do with authority whatsoever.

If a women saw a man being deceived, and she sat back and went along with it she would be in sin. If she points the deception to him is she taking authority over him?

That is like saying anytime we point out wrong doing in this fashion we are taking authority over another. So if a friend was planning on doing business with an organization that you know has fraud in mine pointing that out is taking authority over them.

Pointing out the fact someone is being deceived would be a Christian responsibility, and something God would instruct us to do wouldn’t he? Its the principal of the thing, and I never did grasp how that is interrupted as authority. Its called doing what is right and proper to me.
