how do you get Adam was deceived when the scripture plainly says he was not deceived?
I don't get that
1 Timothy 2:14 King James Version (KJV)
14
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Can I disagree with your opinion? Then we can disagree with Paul's.

Instructions on Worship
2
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8
Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 A woman[
a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12
I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[
b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.
15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
Deceived (at the scripture link above)
ἀπατάω (apataō)
Strong: G538
GK: G572
to deceive,
seduce into error, Eph. 5:6;
1 Tim. 2:14;
Jas. 1:26 )
Where in Genesis chapter 3 are we told women shall be saved through childbearing?
The Timothy texts, 1st and 2nd, are thought to be written by Paul, but some scholars believe also it may have been authored by an anonymous Christian. Whatever the case , 1st Timothy is Paul's letter to the church. His opinions and instructions throughout.
Paul's observation concerning Eve alone puts Eve responsible for being deceived by the serpent that both Adam and Eve encountered together. Because as we read Paul's opinion of women's place in the church, the man was to be the head of the woman, yet he blamed the woman for being deceived when she was right there with Adam, who Paul believed should have been her head even then.
Adam heard the command of God not to eat of the forbidden fruit first. He was created before Eve.
Adam knew he was wrong to eat of the fruit, but did anyway. Not because Eve deceived him when Adam was there hearing the serpent persuade Eve to eat , and Adam ate anyway. Being first to hear God's command not to.
Paul does not permit a woman to teach. Yet there were women Apostles, that Paul recognized and even praised.
I think this may be one of the causes behind some scholars thinking an anonymous Christian wrote 1st Timothy , perhaps even 2nd.
Paul doesn't permit women to teach or assume authority over a man, but he praises them for being Apostles? Which is a teacher of the word.
And the authority part can be why he accuses Eve of deception of the man, Adam. Because Paul does not respect a woman can have authority over a man. But deception is something else. That's not authority, that's beguilement.
1 Timothy
Theme
Paul writes to instruct Timothy concerning the care of the church at Ephesus.
Overview
This is the first of Paul’s epistles to the young pastor Timothy. In it, according to the
King James Study Bible, he exhorts Timothy to guard against false doctrine, protect public worship, and develop mature leadership. Much of the epistle deals with the nature of pastoral conduct, including the qualifications of a bishop (pastor) as a true teacher of God’s Word. Practical directions for elders and for widows are also given in detail.

The Book of Genesis chapter 3:
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”
20 Adam[
c] named his wife Eve,[
d] because she would become the mother of all the living.
