Izzy, I loved your original post about Jesus' nature, but this point in your second post needs reconsideration please. :-)

Eve was not deceived like a child prior to the age of reason, but rather she was deceived like the angels who left their estate and followed Lucifer. In other words, she bought his sales pitch hook, line, and sinker. Therefore, her sin was more grave than that of Adam's. Consider the following passage: 1 Timothy 2:13-15 (13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve. (14) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. (15) Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. Notice how it says that the woman was IN THE TRANSGRESSION. Then this passage connects her salvation being in her role to man in childbearing (the man is not without the woman). Compare the same author writing along the same theme: 1 Corinthians 11:9-10 (9) Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. (10) For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. Consider the angels in this second passage as being the angels that sinned. Do you see the whole picture now? Pray and be at peace in the Spirit of the Lord. Let the spirit of revelation enrich you greatly. Peace be with you.
