Genesis 1<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThe woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Matthew Henry so succinctly describes woman and her nature and value.\u00a0 What is woman?\u00a0 What is God\u2019s purpose for her?\u00a0 In the wake of feminism and gender identity issues, it would do us well to go back to the beginning.<\/p>\n

In Genesis 1 God embarked on His six-day creation act.\u00a0 The final creative work was the creature, man.\u00a0 The Hebrew word for \u201cman\u201d can be translated \u201cmankind\u201d or \u201chumankind.\u201d\u00a0 Since the human was made lastly in the creation week, what does that tell us about our position or authority as it relates to the rest of creation?\u00a0 This new creature was to be set apart from the rest of the creation.\u00a0 It is the crowning achievement.\u00a0 It is not an animal or a fish or a bird.\u00a0 The human is given special recognition.<\/p>\n

Ray Ortlund says of this unique human creature,<\/p>\n

First, God says, \u201cLet us make man . . . .\u201d\u00a0 In Genesis 1:24 God had said, \u201cLet the earth bring forth living creatures . . . .\u201d\u00a0 By the sheer power of His spoken will, God had caused the living creatures to emerge from the earth \u201cby remote control as it were.\u201d\u00a0 In the creation of man, however, God Himself acted directly and personally.2<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mankind is a special and unique being.\u00a0 However, we don\u2019t see any mention of a woman until almost the end of Genesis chapter 1.\u00a0\u00a0 The statement \u201cmale and female created he them\u201d is not yet speaking to any sort of hierarchy between the two kinds of humans (Genesis 1:27).\u00a0 Indeed we don\u2019t even really know yet how there came to be two.\u00a0 Rather, in the very first statement in the Bible about women, God very poetically states the nature <\/i>of the male and female together, not their roles just yet.<\/p>\n

So God created man in his own image, <\/i><\/p>\n

in the image of God created he him; <\/i><\/p>\n

male and female created he them.\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n

Genesis 1:27<\/i><\/p>\n

Each of these three lines makes a point.\u00a0 Line one asserts the divine creation of man.\u00a0 We came from God.\u00a0 Line two overlaps with line one, except that it highlights the divine image in man.\u00a0 We bear a resemblance to God.\u00a0 Line three boldly affirms the dual sexuality of man.\u00a0 We are male and female.\u00a0 Nowhere else in Genesis 1 is sexuality referred to; but human sexuality, superior to animal sexuality, merits the simple dignity given it here.\u00a0 Further, Moses doubtless intends to imply the equality of the sexes, for both male and female display the glory of God\u2019s image with equal brilliance; \u201c. . . . In the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.\u201d\u00a0 This is consistent with God\u2019s intention, stated in verse 26, that both sexes should rule:\u00a0 \u201c. . . . and let them rule . . .\u201d3<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Genesis 2<\/b><\/p>\n

The second chapter of Genesis is a recap of the first chapter, giving us added details about the creation that God had made.\u00a0 God tells us about the series of events in the creation of the woman.\u00a0 In Genesis 2:18 there is something lacking in Adam.\u00a0 He was alone.\u00a0 In a roundabout way, the incompleteness in Adam implies that the woman who is about to be created has something lacking in her too.\u00a0 The human race is dependent upon both the male and female as we can see in 1 Corinthians 11:11-12.<\/p>\n

After the declaration of Adam\u2019s need, God did something special for him.\u00a0 He forms another creature from the same essence as Adam.<\/p>\n

Matthew Henry beautifully says,<\/p>\n

The man was dust refined, but the woman was dust double-refined, one remove further from the earth.\u00a0 That Adam slept while his wife was in making, that no room might be left to imagine that he had herein directed the Spirit of the Lord, or been his counselor, (Isa. 40:13).\u00a0 He had been made sensible of his want of a meet help; but, God having undertaken to provide him one, he does not afflict himself with any care about it, but lies down and sleeps sweetly, as one that had cast all his care on God, with a cheerful resignation of himself and all his affairs to his Maker\u2019s will and wisdom.\u00a0 Jehovah-jireh, let the Lord provide when and whom he pleases.4<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After parading all the animals in front of Adam, and his seeing their inadequacy for his specific need, God then brings her to Adam as if to say, \u201cWhat do you think about this one?\u201d\u00a0 Adam\u2019s first recorded words (Gen. 2:23-24) were to give her the name \u201cwoman\u201d and to express his amazement that he was not alone anymore.\u00a0 She was like him.\u00a0 The female was the only part of God\u2019s creation that was on Adam\u2019s level, that was equal to him, that corresponded to him.<\/i>\u00a0 The animals could help him and perform what they could for him, but only the woman could fulfill the man\u2019s need.\u00a0 And it is only one woman who does that for the man in a marriage, not multiple women.<\/p>\n

Elisabeth Elliot says,<\/p>\n

The animals are there, fellow creatures with us of the same Creator-God, fellow sufferers, mute and mysterious.\u00a0 \u201cBut for the man there was not found a helper for him.\u201d\u00a0 God might have given Adam another man to be his friend, to walk and talk and argue with if that was his pleasure.\u00a0 But Adam needed more than the companionship of the animals or the friendship of a man.\u00a0 He needed a helper, specially designed and prepared to fill that role.\u00a0 It was a woman God gave him, a woman, \u201cmeet,\u201d fit, suitable, entirely appropriate for him, made of his very bones and flesh.\u00a0 You can\u2019t make proper use of a thing unless you know what it was made for, whether it is a safety pin or a sailboat.\u00a0 To me it is a wonderful thing to be a woman under God \u2014 to know, first of all, that we were made (\u201cSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.\u201d) and then that we were made for something (\u201cThe rib which the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.\u201d)\u00a0 This was the original idea.\u00a0 This is what woman was for.\u00a0 The New Testament refers back clearly and strongly to this purpose: \u201cFor man was not made from woman, but woman from man.\u00a0 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man\u201d (1 Cor. 11:8-9).\u00a0 Some texts are susceptible of differing interpretations, but for the life of me I can\u2019t see any ambiguities in this one.5<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

The word \u201cwoman\u201d means simply \u201ca female human.\u201d\u00a0 Although the man and the woman are distinct creatures with differing purposes, they stand together before God as He talked with them and communed with them in the garden.\u00a0 The race of man is male and female.\u00a0 In God\u2019s wisdom, He decided not to create just one kind of human but two kinds of human.\u00a0 Equal but different.<\/p>\n

Genesis 2:24-25 introduces the institution of marriage.\u00a0 It is interesting that there is no mother or father to leave at this point, so why is that mentioned?\u00a0 God is setting a precedent.\u00a0 He wants it this <\/i>way and not another way.\u00a0 It is important to note that although there were only two humans on the entire planet at this time, Adam states that they shall become one flesh.\u00a0 It is specifically a coupling.\u00a0 That is, there is no other option other than two that are made into one.\u00a0 To put it negatively, several do not become one.\u00a0 Also one flesh is not made from any other coupling than the man and his <\/i>wife (singular).\u00a0 This speaks volumes against marriage in any other configuration.<\/p>\n

According to Genesis 2:24-25, there is something different about the relationship between the first couple and their relationship to any other couple.\u00a0 That is, they are also so equal that it is described as being \u201cone.\u201d\u00a0 They are not merely partners<\/i>, as if it were just two people working together side-by-side.\u00a0 Oneness is much more than that.\u00a0 The man and the woman are sharing their existence just as they did before the woman was formed, in and around and through and for and with each other.\u00a0 This is not enough for some feminist writers, though.\u00a0 They lament that fact that even though God refers to males and females together, the whole race is referred to as \u201cman\u201d rather than \u201cwoman.\u201d\u00a0 One reason for God\u2019s terminology here is that man arrived first.\u00a0 The name man is merely descriptive.\u00a0 Man is what the human is.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t woman until God took her out of him.<\/p>\n

There is a hint of hierarchy even in this though, and that is what has feminists and egalitarians scrambling to take this passage out of context. \u00a0Many\u00a0views of womanhood (feminism, Islam, Mormonism, many cults, Patrocentrism, egalitarianism) believe that the curse on the woman after the Fall\u00a0resulted<\/em> in woman\u2019s subordination to man, and so\u00a0they have to make the sinless creation to be without hierarchy.\u00a0 So if the Fall resulted in subordination, then redemption is a restoration of equality of the sexes. \u00a0But we have seen in just these few verses that is not the case. \u00a0The status as Helper Suitable for the man is established before the Fall as a part of God\u2019s very good creation. \u00a0Subordination does not mean inferiority, and that is true in any leader-follower relationship. \u00a0Feminism especially cannot seem to understand that truth. \u00a0Even within the Godhead itself, Jesus submitted himself to the will of the Father (John 5:30<\/a>). \u00a0Furthermore, the Spirit comes from the Father as well and does His will (John 15:26<\/a>), yet the equality within the Trinity is undeniable in Scripture. \u00a0At this point, the end of Genesis 2<\/a>, the Fall of Man has not happened yet. \u00a0This is part of God\u2019s \u201cvery good\u201d creation. \u00a0God really did make Eve\u00a0to be a helper suitable for Adam, and He made Adam first on purpose. Adam was not made a helper for Eve, nor were they made simultaneously. This was all the way it was supposed to be!<\/p>\n

In Genesis and in other passages, men are given a leadership role simply by virtue of being a man. \u00a0The first woman\u2019s role was to be a helper on par with the man, a complement to him, and this is by virtue of simply being a woman. \u00a0When these roles are performed correctly and harmoniously, the original glory of God\u2019s very good creation is re-created\u00a0and re-invigorated. \u00a0And conversely, when the roles are abused or neglected or distorted, the nobility of God\u2019s purpose in us is hindered.<\/p>\n

God created a Woman.\u00a0 \u201cAnd God saw every thing that He had made, and behold, it was very good.\u201d\u00a0 Gen. 1:31<\/a>.<\/p>\n
