Mark, If you cannot get Gen 3 right, you cannot understand the rest. You cannot understand that Patriarchy in the OT is a sin. The result of what God said would happen. God worked through sinful man to achieve His own Glory.

The correct translation of what God said to Eve goes like this:

In Gen 3, God told Eve that she would turn away from Him and turn toward her husband and he would, as a result, rule over her.

In effect, what you are teaching is sanctified sin. If her ‘desire’ is for her husband, it is not for God first. That is the consequence of Eve
s sin. And non egals teach that women SHOULD do this. They will say they don’t but they do. And it is teaching sin as virtue.
