Hi kdm,
May I ask: Is this your own interpretation, or is it the one that your church teaches? Either way, I'd tend to say that the passage needs to be treated a bit more thoroughly because I don't think the Bible on the whole 'ultimately blames' women (or Eve) for the Fall. There's much more to it all than that.
Anyway, I was just passing by on a hot afternoon and I thought I'd throw a couple of cents into the coffer of discussion. Be blessed!
Good question -- I was wondering when someone was going to ask that! The LCMS, to my knowledge, doesn't really broach this. My thinking has been more informed by my readings of the conservative Reformed, who tend to get far more into gender roles and responsibilities types of discussions; the patriarchal branch of them explores challenging angles like this at times, although I'm not sure if any of them have done this one, specifically. 1 Timothy 2 and Titus 2 get thrown around a lot to put women 'in their place,' so to speak, in other contexts, however, so I was attempting to take that kind of reasoning to other Biblical threads, and see if it worked.
