ADAM TO NOAH
MODULE 3: SESSION 17: How Paul References Genesis 2
In 1 Timothy 2, Paul is making a precise comparison between Adam and Eve’s situation in Genesis 2 and 3 and male teachers poorly informing some women in Ephesus. Eve is God’s ‘ezer, and her role of bearing God’s deliverance in her body foreshadows themes of God’s provision. Furthermore, the major idea of God in all of this is all humans becoming one. Even in Ephesians 5: 31-32, Paul is likening the marriage or the union between a man and a woman as to how Christ is supposed to be unified by the Church.

Great observation with these references. There are layers of meaning in Paul’s writings, especially when he makes references to the OT that we must always be careful to see the theological themes being addressed.
