Craig,
@208

If I am understanding you correctly @204, you are saying another clue why v14 is not Eve is because Paul changes tense from Adam to the woman when speaking of their deception (or non-deception). If I have heard this before it hasn’t sunk in, so thanks for saying this. This means that there are clues before it (with the change in tense from Adam), clues in it (perfect tense), and clues after it (v15) all pointing to the woman not being Eve in v14b. This is all very interesting.

Yes, my point was that Paul changes tense from v13 to v14, and therefore couldn’t be speaking of Eve in v14 and why should he change tense if he’s talking about Eve? What he said on Adam was past tense. They are both dead.
