"Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression " (1 Tim. 2: 14).
Did Satan recognize what the Apostle Peter tells us that the women is " the weaker vessel "? The partnership between man and women is wonderful as designed of God. The one is complementary to the other, each designed to bring help and happiness to the other. Differing in stature and physical powers, as well as in mental powers, as in all partnerships where there must be a head, man is appointed head to the woman, as well as of the whole creation.
We have modern-day examples of this same approach of Satan through " the weaker vessel." Seventh Day Adventists had for their leader the late Mrs. White, a woman notorious for her hypnotic visions. Christian Scientists had for their founder and leader the notorious money-making thrice-married Mrs. Eddy, subject to strange cataleptic seizures. We would say nothing about these misfortunes, if it was not that these women took the place of founding religions, that are antichristian and responsible for a vast amount of deception and misery in this world. These seizures of Mrs. White and Mrs. Eddy from a medical point of view would make them less reliable in their judgment and actions. Then again Theosophy was popularized in the Western world by Madame Blavatsky, a Russian, and a spiritist medium of dishonest habits. When she passed off the scene, she was succeeded by Mrs. Besant, a leader in infidel propaganda, who became converted to these strange Buddhist beliefs. It is a well-known fact that often for one male medium in spiritist circles there are ten female mediums. All down the ages Satan has been trying his earliest tactics as seen in his temptation of our first parents.
