Ok I'll try, but I must say I don't share your confusion, maybe if we just lift out (male and female He created them?) As sometimes referred to as (my better half) by men, in marriage, (and rightly so I think) women are, in my humble opinion, indeed the better half of man, (Or maybe we should say "mankind"?) I'v heard it said that, "if man is dust refined, woman is indeed, dust twice refined!" why else would He give woman the ability to have a life created in her womb, and after the pain and suffering of birth still have the loving heart to care so lovingly and carefully, for their and God's children. I don't think men would do it ! At least not more then once! :-) Society and civilization, if you want to call it civilized, through history have given women a very bad reputation and a pretty bad deal, if you ask me! And I believe that may be part, at least, of the root problem of the confusion about what the Bible actually says about who was created in "God's image", personally I think it is very clear that God is most certainly referring to man as, mankind in general, (i.e. men AND women). Oh yes! God most certainly created, THEM/US, Male and female ("Too the weak and the penitent He has a mothers heart") in His image! I hope that helps you. God bless John |

Hi John, What I heard within my society "woman is made of water". By such application (or imagination), when dust mixed with water, man and woman become one flesh as well as a clay in the Potter's hand ......Just my unbiblical fancy thought :-) Gen 2:22-24 Shalom Azure |

Dear Sister Azure, Dust plus water... Isn't that mud? :-) Hmmm... that reminds me of John 9:6! In Him, Doc PS Just to be sure no one misunderstands, I'm only jesting. I do not really think that Genesis 2:7 and John 9:6 are connected. |

Oh..my... I'm muddying the forum :-( But don't you think God's formula is perfect that we are not mud but clay? Shalom Azure |

Yes, Sister Azure, I do, indeed, think God's formula is perfect. My only doubts is that we have the formula. The Hebrew word in Genesis 2:7 could just as easily be translated as mud or even dirt. For example, the Philistines in Genesis 26:15 maliciously filled wells with this same substance. It is unlikely that they would have used clay, but just whatever dirt was around. Sorry... isn't as pleasant sounding, is it? :-) In Him, Doc |

What I can think of is that how awesome is our God who glorifies us (dirty, muddy and filthy sinners) by making us righteous in Christ and that we may glorify Him even though we were so m-u-d-d-y. Thank you very much for the sharing, Brother Doc. :-) Shalom Azure |

Oh my Sister! If the way you so gracfuly glorify Our Father is muddy, well then, I'll have some of that mud! :-) "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." Is 64:6 "But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand." Is 64:8 God bless John |
