“You seem to be connecting Adam being created first to Adam himself not being deceived.”

Adam actually saw some of the creating (Garden planted, animals, etc) and did name the animals. He did have more first hand knowledge through experience with God. What would the reason be that Adam was NOT deceived? Scripture says he sinned willfully and knowingly.

The Ephesian woman could have a similar problem in her culture of not being able to read, her only social interaction outside her family, the Temple of Artemis, etc. This is why she needed to “learn” in submission.
