I’ve more…

As for the nature of my statements about Eve, they assume that Paul is saying something theologically similar to what he says about Adam in Romans 5:12, that just as all humans sin in Adam, so all women partake of the sin of Eve, and that to say Eve is “saved” is a metaphor saying that womankind is saved through the belief of women in Christ, just as humankind are saved from the sin of Adam through belief in Christ. To refer to Eve in a form of present tense would be metaphorical; Eve as a symbol of all women.

So the first woman failed in that she was deceived by the serpent, yet womankind would be saved through the belief of women in Christ? This is confusing. All women partake in the sin of Eve? She was murdered. Jesus said that the devil was a murderer from the beginning. Adam though sinned willfully. I’m trying to add up what you’ve said here and push it around in my head…
