Bible Note: Yes it must mean just that! There are some who think that it is not for today and that it was Paul's own prejudice for his day only. This is pure speculation and it sounds like a desparate appeal to do what many others have done to dump what the Bible teaches by relegating it to another era -- saying it is out of date. This is impossible to do to this text because Paul links the disqualification to the creation order. For example if Eve was created first then she would have been the one who God gave headship to. It would have been her who God called out to asking where is your husband. It would have been Adam who would have been deceived in this scenario and not Eve. But this is not the Biblical scenario, and do we notice who God hold responsible? It was not Eve who Paul describes in Romans 5 as the federal head of sin even though she was the one who was deceived, God holds Adam responsible -- this is headship right from the beginning. |
