“This is why it has to be “teach and authentein” together, as one thought. It’s the kind of teaching that “authenteins” that Paul appears to be speaking of.”
Kristin@171,
The thing I see is that if the false doctrine Paul was refuting was gnostisim (Eve worshipped as a perfect, spirit being, Adam’s creator) or Artemis worship, then he may be using this in a two-fold fashion – reminding the reader that Eve was not perfect, but rather the one deceived…while Adam was not deceived.

Cheryl, your thoughts?
