The Bible teaches us so much about God's plan concerning men and women and the way God created men and women. The world tries to make everything the same, same opportunities, even same roles. It is difficult to enter into our assignment from God and to understand the way God created us unless we view some scriptures on this subject. God ordained the following: Genesis 2:7-8 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there HE put the man whom HE had formed. 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. 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and HE (God) took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made HE a woman, and brought her unto the man. *** God created the woman to be an helper to the man. Some women will not marry. Some women will be assigned other roles by God. But most women will marry and when they do marry, God has created them especially for that man to be his help meet. *** Eve was deceived by Satan and after the transgression, God put the following assignment on the man and the woman and there was a difference in the role of the man and the woman. For the man: Genesis 3 17-19 And unto Adam HE (God) said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. For the woman: Genesis 3 16 Unto the woman HE (God) said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. (Already we see that God has created the woman for the man so she would be a help meet to the man.) *** So we go forth perfectly created and joined by God. But men and women change the creation in their own wisdom and things fall apart. As long as we accept our assignments, God blesses us in that to which HE has assigned to us. And as long as we do what God wants us to do we are blessed and we bless others by our lives, whether we marry or whether we are single. God said to Isaac: Genesis 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; ***** Mark 10 Jesus says: 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. *** Divorce was created because of the hardness of the heart: Mark 10 2 And the Pharisees came to HIM (to Jesus) , and asked HIM, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting HIM. 3 And HE answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. *** Matthew 5:32 Jesus said: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. * Woman who remarries after divorce commits adultery. * Man who divorces a faithful wife will be the cause of her adultery if she remarries. * Man who marries divorced woman commits adultery. *** Deborah, a married woman who judged Israel. Judges 4 4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. 6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand. 8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt ...
