I have read things like “the situation between this husband and wife is just like an Adam and Eve situation”. Just clarifying in what way the situation is the same.
In mentioning Adam and Eve Paul is NOT (emphasis, not shouting) saying
“This woman shouldn’t teach because Eve taught Adam and this caused the fall.” In fact, Eve didn’t teach Adam at all in Gen 3:1-6.
Paul is also NOT saying
“This woman shouldn’t exercise authority over her husband because this is what Eve did and this caused the fall”. In fact Eve did not exercise authority over Adam at all in Gen 3:1-6.
Paul is not referring to Adam and Eve in relation to the teaching or exercising authority of v12, but rather the need for learning v11 to prevent deception.
Is this the same or different to what you are saying?
