Genesis 2:23-24 “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.’ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” When God presented the woman […]
Genesis 2:22 “Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.” From the beginning, we see that the standard the Creator established for marriage was one man and one woman. Later, of course, other notable men — righteous men — would […]
Genesis 2:21 “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept, and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.” It’s interesting that when the Creator determined to make a woman, He did not repeat the steps He first took when He made […]

Translated literally, this would be rendered as “a helper like his opposite” or “a helper who opposes him.” […]
“Whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise.” Jn 5:19 Jesus acted as a translator. He got His message from the Father, then translated it to those around Him. He heard a voice others were missing. And because He could hear it, He acted differently. Remember when everyone was troubled about the blind man? Jesus […]
Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” From the beginning, we learn many important principles.
