Thanks TL.
I remember several of us discussing this issue of creation order and the fall with Jereth on the Sola Panel.
“Creation order” also seems such a big thing to people in the church I belong to.
If I ask them why being created first gives someone authority, some will discuss primogeniture. But after discussing primogeniture some will admit it is not a strong argument.
But they still believe creation order by itself is a strong argument, based on their understanding of 1 Tim 2:13.
It seems to me that their only case is their assumed understanding of 1 Tim 2:13 and then reading this back into Gen 1-3.
But I wonder why comps think Paul would have thought that first created = authority over second created, if he wasn’t thinking of primogeniture. I can’t think of any other reason. I haven’t received a reasonable reply yet, apart from “it just seems logical”. Does anyone know of any other comp answers to this?
