THEM

We talked last class about the creation story, or Genesis ch. 1-2. In Genesis 1:27-28 (TNIV), I found something interesting (though we didn't really discuss it in class):

"So God created human beings in His own image, in the image of God He created THEM; male AND female He created THEM."

I bold captioned these for a reason. There is no He created Men in His image, same for her. It says THEM, both male AND female. I think, though this might be my personal lense, I see this connection; them is an equalizer because it say them. Does that make sense? Let me know if it doesn't.

Another thing I wish to discuss is 1 Corinthians 11:8-9, 11-12 it reminds me of the quote I posted in my last one! I also want to point out it says women are not independent of men, and men are not independent. Adam or Ish needed Eve or Ishsha just as much as he needed her. Before the fall he sensed a similarity, and called her his "Flesh among flesh". As we talked about in class.

I don't know much else to say, but I agree and got my eyes opened again. I look forward to what Sarah has to say about the fall and the fall of possible equality!
