Do the same to who? She was specifically created for Adam. It was essentially the first man and wife relationship. Women born to help "all" men??? You might be thinking of muslims.

P.S. I'll assume you are joking about the "alleged" sexist comment.

The Adam and Eve story makes little biological sense. If a single individual is to be the ancestor of some population, that individual ought to be an asexual reproducer, a parthenogenetic female, rather than a male.

Yes, virgin birth

Also, the apologetic that Answerer quoted is extremely stupid -- it's like defending some cold-blooded assassinations by claiming that the victims were sent off to Heaven.

It seems to me that when God created Eve for Adam he sets the standard that all women should obey all men. And for the comment by bloggins:

Of course it's a sexist statement, it was written by sexist people (not that you'd ever get a fundy to accept this as a valid line of reasoning

Do you think The Bible is outdated in America where there is Equal rights?

Are you a Theist????

If so how can you beleive in something that is not accurate to the current times?

Wrong forum.

Where, from any post of mine on this board, could you possibly conclude that I am a theist?

I don't know Brian.

Probably the same reasons that he created all humanity for the sole purpose of worshipping him (what an egotist) and then later drowned the whole friggen earth when he got pissed at his own creation for acting the way HE made them!

Thank God I'm an atheist,

My friends:

As to equality in Christ, we need go no further than the words of that other Paul: As many as were baptized into Christ, Christ you put on. For there is not Jew nor Greek, there is not slave nor freeman, there is not male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. To borrow from the comics I read as a youth: 'nuff said.

Well almost. I am sorry, but inequality of the sexes is simply not a biblical concept.
