Another parallel is there were 3 types of sinners in the garden:

1. a deceived sinner- the woman
2. a deliberate sinner- the man
3. a deceiving sinner- the serpent

There is a ranking in the sin/sinner in terms of consequences. The man/deliberate sinner is cast out of the garden; the 2 men in 1 Tim were cast out of the church.
