Cheryl – I sure hope I am not dragging you kicking and screaming into an exegesis you are uncomfortable with.

Me? Having to go kicking and screaming into an exegesis? LOL! No, just the opposite, I believe that the fact that Adam alone was kicked out is essential to some other specific points that Paul makes and shows that Adam was not “the leader” by virtue of his maleness nor that Eve was disallowed to take a rulership or disallowed to be a teacher because she was a female. We can hold strong to our guns and keep faithful to the text without giving an inch to the error of the comp view.
