4 (The Ephesian man is like Adam in not doing anything to help- but that is another subject)

Craig,
So because the woman is not allowed to “authentein” the man and because he can help her in her salvation, I don’t think that like Adam he “was not doing anything to help.” He was being dominated unlike Adam which changes everything – and I should know… 😉
So, I think the only comparison between him and Adam would be that he knew better than the woman did (just as Eve did not know better), because the woman is the one who needs to learn and not the man, but which is another reason why Adam and Eve’s creation order and what it resulted in, is a good example of this Ephesian woman and man (or couple), that is, one is learned and one is not and deception is the result for the one who lacks knowledge.
