Paul said THE WOMAN ( as in 1 - singular - not plural) was deceived. Who was that woman? Eve. Paul NEVER said that all women, most women or women in general are more easily deceived than men. That's not in the Bible, nevertheless certain camps like to assert that "women are more easily deceived than men" although Paul never said that. Paul did say, "ALL Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Tim 3:16-17). So, we aren't limited to just the scriptures that Paul wrote. There are numerous well- documented, Biblical examples of women who were not deceived: Sarah, Mary, Esther, Jehosheba, Huldah, Lydia, Rahab, Midwives, Abigail, Dorcas, Phoebe, Deborah, Wise Woman of Abel, Women who traveled with Jesus, Anna, Queen of Sheba, Priscilla, Zipporah, Faithful Canaanite Mother, Rufus' mom, Lois, Eunice, Jochebed, Hannah. Therefore, what Paul said about Eve being deceived doesn't apply to ALL women, and there's no concrete evidence to prove that it applies to MOST women.
Eve was deceived. There's no denying that. Likewise, the very same Bible tells us that numerous male leaders were involved in and propagated deceptive cult practices, idolatry, and heresies: Jeroboam (1 Ki 14:1-20), Nadab (1 Ki 15:25-26), Baasha (1 Ki 15:32-34, 16:1-17, 6:11-13) Zimri (1 Ki 16:19), Omri (1 Ki 16:25-26) Ahab (1 Ki 16:30-33), Ahaziah (1 Ki 22:51-53), Zechariah (2 Ki 15:9), Menahem (2 Ki 15:18), Pekahiah (2 Ki 15:24), Pekah (2 Ki 15:28), Ahaz (16:2-3), Manasseh (2 Ki 21:1-7,9-12,16, 24:3-4), Amon (2 Ki 21:20-22), Jehoiakim (2 Ki 23:37), Zedekiah (2 Ki 24:18-19) - to name a few.
Currently, most of the world's major false religions (cults) have been founded by men - not women: Islam (Muhammad), Buddhism (Sanskrit), atheistic communism, Sun Myung Moon's Unification, Mormons (Joseph Smith), Modern Witchcraft (Gerald Gardner), New Age movement (Edgar Cayce), Scientology (L. Ron Hubbard), Bahia (Mírzá Ḥusayn-`Alí Núr), Sikhism (Guru Nanak), David Koresh, Charles Manson, Jim Jones, Yaweh Ben Yaweh.
If some in the church are going to use the "Eve was deceived and women are more easily deceived than men" argument in order to try to prove that men are more cut out for leadership than women, it is only fair to talk about the numerous male leaders in scripture who were involved in and propagated deceptive cult practices, idolatry and heresies.
