Eve was made for Adam and from Adam; therefore, Adam was in authority over her. Her sin is attributed to Adam the same way that we say George Bush led this country into war with Iraq, even though some soldier down on the front line fired the first shot. Likewise, one of my daughters once went into a neighbor's house with a friend. They brought the garden hose in with them and sprayed their living room down real good. Guess who is responsible and who is blamed? Guess who the man of the house came looking for? That's right. Me. I didn't do it, but because it was my child, it was as good as if I had done it. This, incidentally, is the reason Paul can talk about Righteousness being attributed to us because of Christ's righteousness. Just as bad things come upon us from those in authority over us, so do good things. This is the way that God has ordained it to be. Peace be with you.
