Churches may teach that Eve is the church but I have not yet found it in scripture.

Eve is not the church, she is a type of the church. Compare Romans 5:14 with Ephesians 5:31-32. These types are the work of God and they are perfect. They have testified to the multitudes of people through the ages who have not had access to the written word. They must agree with the word of God or they are not of God. By saying the Eve was not a virgin when she knew Adam, you do harm to the message of the type.

Eve is not the church, she is a type of the church. By saying the Eve was not a virgin when she knew Adam, you do harm to the message of the type.

I read the passages you gave: Adam is a type of "He who is to come" and "the church and Christ shall become one flesh."

Adam was a type of Christ - I agree, it is written. Christ and His church shall become one unit, one family. If Eve is a type of the church, the many membered body, I could also agree with that but like that group, they are not perfect and have sinned.

By saying the Eve was not a virgin when she knew Adam, you do harm to the message of the type.

I didn't say that Seven. I don't know when they first "knew" each other. I did say that she "also" knew Satan. I would assume that Adam and Eve were in the garden for a while before Satan came along. So...If we are sticking with types, maybe that was a type of what some churches have been and what some remain. Following Satan through idolatry instead of staying true to her husband, Adam/Christ.
