I don't agree with Adam Clark on this point Dean.  Gen 3:16 is part of the curse spoken over the woman at the time of the transgression.  Being joint heirs of the grace of God is New Covenant reality.  The rest of what Adam Clark wrote pertained to Jewish customs and was not God's way.  Even under the Law of Moses God wanted women and children also to congregate and hear the reading of the law every seven years.  If women were to be like zombies with male gurus as the Jews seemed to prefer then why would this be necessary.  God at different times deals with women aside from men.  He even put some of them in leadership positions when there was no man willing or available.  I do personally believe in male leadership when handled the right way which is rare in our generation.   judyt
