[quote]First of all let’s look at all the bible verses that say that the male is to have leadership over the female because of his first creation. There are exactly zero verses in the scripture giving first creation status to the male for leadership over the female. The only verses that talks about a cause and effect regarding the order of creation are in 1 Timothy 2:13, 14.

1 Timothy 2:13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.
1 Timothy 2:14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. [/quote]

One of the most important thoughts in comp theology is that (1) Adam was created first therefore (2) he is the leader or had ‘headship’ over Eve. These two ideas are tied together in comp thought, but they are not so tied together in the written scriptures. When Paul wrote ‘Adam was created first’ (1 Tim 2) he did not write/tie it to ‘leader’ or ‘head’ (interpreted to mean ‘headship’) and when he did write ‘man/husband is the head of the woman/wife’ (1 Co 11, Eph 5) he did not tie it to ‘Adam was created first.’ 1 Tim 2:13 must be lifted out of it’s original home and helicoptered over to 1 Co 11:3 and dropped into that new context so that the two ideas can be seen tied together or vice versa. 1 Co 11:3 and Eph 5 which do speak of ‘head’ (some see this to mean that the man/husband is the ‘leader’) unlike 1 Tim 2, do not say anything about the order of creation, Adam first then Eve. Yet it is still managed by comps to see creation order in those 2 passages when it’s simply not there, or to see ‘head’ (made into ‘headship’) in 1 Tim 2. I ask why?
