In the creation of man, God has recognised a need which he has created;
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23 And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
God created man with a social fabric and Adam recognised there was none for him. He recognised in creation there was a partner for every creature but not for him. God said it was not good that man should be alone. God created the woman different from every other creation from which he created. God spoke by the Word of his mouth and it was done and it stood fast. The beasts of the field, the fowl of the air he created out of the dust of the earth and man also. But the help meet was created from something that was just coming into existence. He took from man and created another being to meet the need of that social fabric which he recognised. The woman was created different. She was created from the construction of the man. She was built for the man. Adam recognised this when he saw her. He said, this is bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman. Why? Because she was taken out of man. This was the perfect creation of God. Continue reading
