On Sunday morning, we looked at the relationship between men and women from the end of Genesis 2. We already knew that men and women are equal in God's sight, both made in God's image - we saw that in chapter 1. This passage described the creation of woman as a way of helping with the issue of man being alone. People need one another. We need to have relationships with the opposite gender from ourselves. There is difference in role but equality in value between the genders. We shouldn't read the word 'helper' here as a word that describes a lesser person in any way! God made men and women because each gender has a different way of honouring God and living well in God's world. While there will always be gender wars and disagreements and cultural issues to work through, we must always remember the principle of equality in value and difference in function.
