If you connect Eve being created after Adam, with the Ephesian woman’s deception, then wouldn’t you have to connect Adam being created first with the Ephesian man’s deception, not Adam?

Craig,
Except that the subject and focus is not about the man, but the woman who needs to learn, and quitely, and not dominate, not teach, and who is deceived and who will be saved. The passage is about her, and not the man she is teaching false things to. Though the man she is teaching isn’t deceived which is why he can help her in salvation – “But she will be saved if they continue…” Besides, Paul connected Adam to Adam but Eve to the Ephesian woman. And that is how it looks when one follows his thought process.
