Nov 21, 2022 · If we take the two narratives together, we see that God had already declared the creation of man and woman together as "very good." Moreover, this male-female pair was created in the "image of God." God had blessed them and commanded them to "be fruitful and multiply."

The Scriptures clearly tell us why God created woman. Woman was created for man to help him fully image God as a husband and father. So God created the woman to be the wife for man and the mother of his children. He made her weaker than man because man must image God’s strength in his leadership, provision and protection.

A: God didn’t have to make two different kinds of human beings. He didn’t have to make us so that men and women, on average, come in different shapes and sizes and grow hair in different places and often think and feel in different ways. God could have propagated the human race in some other way besides the differentiated pair of male and female. H...
A: Men and women are not interchangeable.

This is in keeping with the ordering of the entire cosmos. Think about the complementary nature of creation itself. “In the beginning,...
A: The woman was given as a helper to the man. Eve was created from man (Gen. 2:22)—equal in worth—and she was also created for man (Gen. 2:20)—different in function. The male leadership, which the text hints at in Genesis 1:27 by calling male and female “man,” is spoken plainly in chapter 2 when Eve is given to Adam as his “helper” (Gen. 2:18, 20)...
