one shall be called woman, for out of man this one was taken." Gen 2:23; what is he
saying? - Answer-He's saying that the woman was made from him and that they are
one. That him and the woman are equals and that she is different from the animals. She
is a true companion. a "partner in battle"
What is the temptation for humanity? Explain the role of the woman, the man. - Answer-
