Just excuse me for a bit while I think aloud and answer my own question. I think I remember Jereth saying at one point that he believed that what went on in the verses between the creation of Adam and Eve showed Adam’s authority, and this is why Paul appeals to Adam being created first in 1 Tim 2:13. Jereth also didn’t put much weight on the primogeniture argument, so this may be how he puts it together in his mind. I may not agree with this, because I don’t see any evidence of authority being given to Adam here over Eve, but at least I can understand this explanation.
It seems a bit similar but different to the egal approach, of seeing that what went on between Adam and Eve’s creation explaining why Eve was deceived and Adam wasn’t.
So I guess I just need to discuss more with my comp friends whether the issue in 1 Tim 2 is authority or deception.
