And the last Adam addressed the woman at the well so she must be the interim Eve. Oh and He addressed the woman who sinned also!! Sheesh!

While this raises issues, it does not demonstrate that the conclusion that Mary is the last Eve is wrong. It does raise questions as to whether modifier "last" is correct. My statement did not say that there were only 2 Eves. Paul's comment that Jesus is the Last Adam does not state there are only 2 Adams.

I find it strange that the first reaction of all 3 of you was ridicule.

The lengths to which the Catholic Church will go to make up their beliefs is ripe for ridicule.

It does not demonstrate that your conclusion is correct either.

Then there must have been more than one Eve replacement because Jesus addressed other women as *Woman*.

To a woman He healed.

Luke 13:12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your disability.”

To the Samaritan woman at the well.

John 4:21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

To the woman caught in adultery.

John 8:10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

To Mary Magdalene at the tomb.

John 20:15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
