Hold on. “Adam had an obligation to protect Eve because he was not deceived.” Are you saying his obligation to protect Eve was not based on his relationship to/with her? In other words, if there were fifty other humans around (just for illustration- I realize there was only two at that time), then would Adam have had the same obligation to protect all of them, in the same way?

Are the Father and Son equal? Yes and no. The answer is both.

A wife is obligatied to submit to all others in the body, as is the man. A wife also has an
obligation to submit to her husband- how else would God command it?

I’m OK with backing off of the your last point about authority, because I think it strays from my main argument, which is that the wife has an obligation to submit to her husband. If we disagree on that, let’s just part ways amicably instead of tossing scripture and/or doctrine at each other.
