So, it took a supernatural being to deceive the woman, but only a mortal woman to tempt the man, and the woman is the easier mark? Riiiight.

1 Timothy 2
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
So did Adam not become a sinner?
It sure sounds to me like Adam was the gullible one here and screwed up big time. Again, a supernatural being was necessary in order to deceive Eve. Adam... he took the word of a woman over God. God had clearly spoken to Adam, and Adam took the word of Eve over God. And Adam gets a pass on this? It sure sounds to me like Adam could neither follow the word of God nor use clear judgment with what another human told him. He screwed up twice. And you use this example in order to assert that women (deceived by a supernatural being) are not wise enough to understand political, social, or economic matters? But men (defying God based on what another mortal being told him) can discern the truth in political, social, or economic matters?
Only a man would buy into that cockeyed reasoning! :-)

The Catholic Church hierarchy in Rome will treat him exactly like their leftist/modernist boss treats him, like a leper.
Thank God he’s gone from Spokane.
Your argument is with scripture not me.
That's your assertion. Not scripture's.
Couples who are MARRIED to each other, with a MOTHER who is ready, will, able and DELIGHTED to do so, will have to emerge in our society.
With the record track Americans have for "pairing up," having casual sex," "project" parents, living in sin, matriarchal families the NORM and NOT staying VERY close to God via ATTENDING Mass together as a family, I seriously doubt if the average SPOILED-ROTTEN American and his family (note the male possessive pronoun) will ever emerge.
I can't imagine Americans giving up their "stuff" or deciding to become CLOSER to God: it's TOO hard for them. It requires self-SACRIFICE.
Do you expect anything altruistic of Westerners as a society? Those who are practicing Catholics do that, on pain of sin, but practicing Catholics seem to going the way of the extinct do-do bird.
Just my observation, kiddo, nothing more. I'm already "out of the loop," being old, but I DON'T see much light at the end of the tunnel.
Ping!

When Paul made the statement in 1 Timothy 2
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
He was just stating a fact.
Personally I believe women are the finest thing God ever made but like men if they leave their natural habitat and go to that which God did not intend for them they are of no use.
