Woman (the flesh) is the glory of man (the spiritual man made flesh through the woman). But the flesh sinned, man and woman (the one; bone of bone and flesh of flesh) were cursed (Blood introduces to the bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh). Which is the reason for Genesis 3 ...and thy desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee.
it is true that woman is the glory of the man but that does not explain why Eve was created in the manner defined in Genesis.
It should also be pointed out that a reference to sin has no place during the creation account of mankind.
Where did the flesh used with the mans bone to form woman come from?
The original Hebrew does not state that Eve was formed from the bone / rib of Adam and we should all know that the formation of Adams body of flesh was formed by the power of God through Christ in arranging the matter / dirt of the earth.
So, why wasn't Eve formed in the same manner? What is the significance for the manner in which she was formed differently than Adam? This is the question posed in this thread. God does nothing without meaning. Have you considered the meaning of this part of 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.
Why would God form every other creature and then assert that "but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him". God knew that none of the other creatures would be a proper help for Adam and yet the spirit takes the reader on that explanatory journey for a reason. Why?
Christ says "Man shall live by every word of the mouth of God" and God's words begin in Genesis. There is a vast amount of truth contained in God's word that most people will not know or understand until the end and it all matters according to Christ's perspective. If you have the holy spirit residing in you then you can ask for understanding of God's word and it shall be given just as God has promised every true seeker who loves God and his Son.
If you can't yet define the very simple answer to the question posed in this threads OP then you are still awaiting the giving of the holy spirit. Each of those who will be saved will receive the spirit at some point in their life and the spirit will guide them to all truth as it was written;
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Not having the answer to my question has no reflection on your intellect since understanding or not understanding is directly controlled by God. If God wants to blind you to understanding his word then no one can open this understanding to you. The simple understanding you can gain by not having an answer here is that you have not yet followed the milk that God has given you in order to be granted the indwelling of the holy spirit.
1 Timothy 2:
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2For kings, and
for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3For this
is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Ezekiel 33:
11Say unto them,
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
12Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his
righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
13When I shall say to the righteous,
that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
14Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
16None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
17Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
18When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
19But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
20Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
