‘The text does not say the woman added to God’s words and it does not say she did not. This is where I see that the Bible is a mirror and whichever way you go shows something about you. This is why I prefer to just point out that we do not know what we do not know.’

Don said this above in the other post, ‘Was the man given authority to rule the woman’. I’m bringing it here because I would like to comment on it here.

There is not a speck of evidence that the woman knew the command that God gave the man, and I’m specificaly meaning exactly what God said word-for-word to him when he was alone, before she was formed, I’m talking about what he explicitly said, not a speck (and I challenge anyone to provide such evidence) therefore there is no place to even begin with saying ‘and it does not say she did not add to it.’ In other words, there’s no room for an argument saying, ‘and it does not say she did not add to it’, since there is no speck of evidence that she even knew it.

If the woman did not know the explicit command given to the man, then no one can argue that she added to it, or that the bible does not say that she did not add to it. The argument cannot even get off the ground.

That’s all for now!
