Finally, Matt needs to acknowledge that the issue of primogeniture is of human construct. God did not authorize this tradition. Some would like to rest it on the promise of Christ’s birth who will of course be God’s “firstborn”. But the problem with that is that Christ is God’s ONLY BEGOTTEN Son. There never was to be another. Therefore, any concept of “firstborn” is a moot point and not one that God would be bringing up, which He didn’t. And that is the thing. God did not establish these patriarchal traditions that they attempt to impose on the rest of Christianity.

Where is there any statement in the creation account where God is reserving certain privileges for Adam that He does not give to Eve. What happened before she was built from Adam’s side is not reserving something that she can never do, which is proven by the fact that Eve named their children. Naming was not reserved for Adam or men. He just got to experience it first.
