Isn’t it. According to hierarchists, because the man was not deceived and sinned rebelliously he is given the leadership of humanity/woman. Crazy thinking! In the end it’s just all about power and the manipulations one must go through to get it and keep it.
Seems to me that Adam’s rebellion is replaced with a glorious leadership and responsibility. How often in comp doctrine when it is taught that the man is the leader and woman the follower, is it ever brought up that Adam was a traitor, a failed watchman, kicked out of Eden and passes on down his sin nature to us, and that he failed his wife before he ate? Never. Why? Because leaders can’t be put in that kind of light because if they are then it is made known that they are not truly leaders of God.
Now everyone makes mistakes, but treachery and continued rebellion?? He conintued in his rebellion when he blames God and Eve, rather than acting responsibly. And hear I thought responsibility of him and his wife was his number one strength? And then he proceeds to rule over his wife as God predicts?? That’s not a leader in the slightest.
