I thought Adam meant (by "now") "The creatures You brought to me before were not suitable, but, now you brought me something that is perfect for me."Here is how we KNOW = God said so..................
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. 22Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23And Adam said:
“This is now bone of my bones = "now' not later but NOW
And flesh of my flesh;
Oh, well, there ya go.

Not sure what you're saying.Yous said: I thought Adam meant (by "now") "The creatures You brought to me before were not suitable, but, now you brought me something that is perfect for me."
my Brother in Christ - when i read this i broke out in LOL so please take no offence
Eve was not just another 'animal' and yet that is the way sin has demeaned women throughout history.
The "creatures" that God brought to Adam were animals = birds, fish, deer, lions, tigers and bears "Oh-My!"Not sure what you're saying.
And why does that make you laugh?The "creatures" that God brought to Adam were animals = birds, fish, deer, lions, tigers and bears "Oh-My!"
They were a lower order of Creation and not "suitable' for Adam = he could not establish a relationship with them other then being a Ruler over them since the are inferior creatures compared to the makings/design/Origin of Adam.
We are not on the Yellow Brick Road going to see the Oz...............

Not at you Brother.And why does that make you laugh?
CORRECTGenesis 2
18Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 19Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
23The man 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.”
So, the context of God bringing him all these other creatures was "I will make him a helper suitable for him", and none of those animals were suitable for him, but then He fashions the woman out of his own body, and he finally finds what is suitable for him--thus the "now" may be "as opposed to what was brought to me before".
How do we KNOW this to be 100% TRUTH?
Let us look at this from the perspective of a child.
Who else was Adam going to marry?
Let's look at this from the perspective of an adult with a fully formed frontal lobe and the ability to reason correctly.
"Who else was Adam going to marry?" is not anywhere near to being the same question as:
"Was Adam joined in holy matrimony to Eve as soon as she drew her first breath?"
When I did dot-to-dot puzzles, even as a child, it was not by joining every single dot to every other single dot that a beautiful image was revealed.
Bible study is both logical and spiritual, but it is not subject to any whim I might coincidentally conceive.
I'm sorry, Dave, but with all the brotherly love I can summon, I have to say that we've been down this road before, and it always reminds me all too much of a scene from The Pied Piper Of Hamelin. I'm in the church with the adults, and I'm not going to that cave.

This is TRUEGod said so, that's how.

God's Word... STILL says being funny is a sin! View attachment 41322
Barney,
i just took anothe rlook at your post and noticed this which you said: "I'm not going to that cave"
Therefore i must adjust my response to you:
my Brother Barney it is best not to travel down the road of human intellect alone or you may end up in a cave with other like minded people.
As for me = The Word and the Holy Spirit is our Guide.
i invite you my Brother to walk together with us who love and believe "every word that proceeds from the Mouth of God"
Peace Brother Barney

You're either dancing around your words or you're not being clear enough about what you say from the outset.
In any case, I'm not in the mood for the Sesame Street, bait-and-switch routine today, Dave.
Either Adam and Eve were married before any words were spoken by anyone (because that's what you implied in post #1874), or they weren't.
Whether it's intentional or not, I can't tell, but you're tossing the goalposts around like hot potatoes in what looks like a Guru play, and I'm just not buying it.
And it all comes off like I'm siding with those who are condoning sin, when all I really want is for things to be clarified rather than muddied.
There's no peace for me amidst confusion, Dave.
FYI, this is passive-aggressive, "us-and-them" language, Dave. It's not very friendly or brotherly at all.
Why do I need an invitation to walk with believers and lovers (you forgot "living by," btw) of every word of God unless it is being assumed that I'm not already doing so?
