2 | Why did GOD make woman from the mans rib | Gen 2:23 | Mommapbs | 138788 | ||
Greetings! God doesn't tell us why He did this, but I suspect from this verse, God may have wanted man to recognize that the woman was part of him. Because she was formed from Adam's rib, woman is his missing part. Woman "completes" the man. Think also about the command of God in the next verse: "For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." IMO, "one flesh" is quite significant. What might this suggest to us about God's view of homosexuality? Blessings, mommapbs |

Mommapbs, Something of a related tangent. You may find this article on "The Theology of the Body" of interest along with some of the books by the same author. http://www.christopherwest.com/article13.htm Emmaus |

Also think that God did this to suggest that man and woman are equal not a bone from the foot so man is above woman and a bone from the head so woman is not above man | ||||||

Greetings Toeknee - I agree we are all equal in value and equal in accountablity before God, but not equal in authority. For ALL have sinned; for God so loved the world (everyone); Christ died for ALL . . . There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:28. We are "one in Christ." We are all of equal value, but we are all different. We are part of "one Body;" we are complementary to one another. The man is the head of his wife (Eph 5:23)doesn't mean that they are not of equal value, but rather the man has authority over the woman. 1 Tim 2:13-14 (and yes, sometimes this is a really hard pill to swallow! I think it goes with Gen 3:16 "your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." ) My 2 cents. mommapbs |
