To: Salvation

Eve was deceived first by the serpent and succumbed to the temptation to possess the knowledge of God (in a sense to be equal to God). The part that has always troubled me is that upon that first bite, and becoming aware of her sin, she then offered Adam the second bite. He succumbed to the temptation, and I’m guessing here, the new awareness in Eve’s eyes that he had never witnessed before. I would call it a seductive look. To me that is why women should not be permitted to teach men or hold positions of authority in the church. Even when we come to the knowledge of our error we do not confess it but try to entice others to follow us. But that’s just my opinion. Did Adam sin? Yes. But was Eve instrumental in his downfall? Yes.

Not only in the Church, but in politics, also. I've heard it said that it was a mistake to allow women the vote - I kind of wonder about that because of all that social justice and pc crap going on out there. Probably all women-based, and I can say that as I'm a woman.
