The devil has whispered to me that women were a second thought of God. When a companion was not found among the animals, then God created Eve. Thus we are second and not as important as Adam. I know that is not true. How do I prove it scripturally?

And why didn't God create them both at the same time? God is all wise so I know He had a reason.

God performed the 1st marriage on Adam and Eve. The two became ONE.

Eve was formed by Adams rib. Taken out of his side to be equal. Not from the head or feet: to be over or under the other.

Women's Lib was launched in the 60's. It has done more harm than good. It's 2020 and only now equal compensation for work...is being discussed. Millions of babies (future tax payers so you could draw social security) have been killed. The democrats have their eyes on it for their silly projects.

Society has made a mockery over something God meant to be a blessing: marriage between a man and a woman.

That is one reason Jesus will be returning very soon! All the signs are appearing. Matthew 24.

1 Timothy Chapter 4

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 FORBIDDING TO MARRY, [and commanding] to ABSTAIN from MEATS, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

Mishael

Maureen, we can only share our thoughts as to why God does things in a certain way - unless of course, He clearly tells us. We understand that on account of His Holy & Wise Being, & out of love, to have those that would belong to Him & worship Him & for us to enjoy God & His creation, He created a man (after His Own Image): Genesis 1:26. I don't ever think that a woman was ever an after-thought of God. God, as an Omniscient (all-knowing) God, already had His Plans 'set in stone'. Creation of a woman I believe was already in that Plan - after all, companionship, procreation, identification, etc. were all necessary for both man & woman. I always see the Genesis account of creation as both man & woman created in complete equality & perfection & necessary for each other for a perfect representation of the Divine on Earth. Of course, we know the story of man & woman's failure to remain holy by sinning against their Creator.

However, in God's wisdom, the order of creation also depicts the proper of order of human life on Earth. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:3: "I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." This is not in any way depicting an inferior position of a woman (or, indeed of Christ to the Father) but an ordered 'hierarchy' & for submission & resorting to each other. As Paul also said, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28. And this clearly shows that women are equal in every way before God & in Christ, but for the sake of position & functions on Earth, the submission of woman to man AND the unequivocal love the man has for his wife: Colossians 3:18, 19, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them." should remain our united & joyful objective in marriage.
