14 And [kai] Adam [Adam] was [apatao] not [ou] deceived, [apatao] but [de] the woman [gune] being deceived [apatao] was [ginomai] in [en] the transgression. [parabasis] KJV-Interlinear
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression. NASB
In history, events occur and then humanity carries their memory all through history, with the intent of condemning everyone even slightly associated with that original event.
For example, way back in ancient history, Ham defiled his dads (Noah) privacy, and as a result a descendant of Ham was cursed. Well, Ham happened to be a dark skinned person, but his descendant, Canaan, was not. And instead of understanding that the curse was for sins, the curse was interpreted because of color. That is how the world gets things all screwed up.
And now we have the original event of Eve’s failure. But her failure was not originally in the sin of eating the forbidden fruit, her failure was in not paying attention, which resulted in the commission of her sin. Eve’s failure is covered in Gen. 3.
A quick review of her failure. First she did not pay attention to Gods commands. How do we know? God commanded that the fruit not be eaten. She added to that restriction, that it could not even be touched. Second, she was conversing with a serpent that could only mimic language, but she did not catch the fact that the serpent was actually engaged in conversation and rational thought with her.
Eve was deceived. Why? Because she was not listening to truth. She was not listening to what she had been told. And when a person does not listen, then they not only miss the mark on life, but they fail to see other flaws within their periphery. Their understanding fails. Their interpretations fail. Their decisions fail. Their discernment fails.

Anyway, the bad rap for women enters the picture. What did Adam say? ‘The woman gave it to me.’
And so you do one thing wrong in your life, and no one will let you forget it.
You probably think that is why the woman was given the subordinate role, but if you do, then you have missed the whole point of this entire chapter.
Do you remember the topic at the beginning of the chapter?
Well, we need to bring in the next verse, before tying it all up, and straightening the entire ‘woman’ connotation that most folks seem obsessed with, and have been using these last few verses completely in error.
Besides, the second half is about to begin. After all, this is Bowl Week!
