Continued Investigation of the Image of God according to the Holy Bible.

 Furthermore, a final point of dispute concerning the belief that there is co-equality and coexistence of the image of God being present in both genders of humanity, why would one surmise that there be a distinction in God's process of creating Adam and in God's process of creating Eve at all? Why wouldn't God have fashioned Eve out of the dust and breath into her the breath of life just as he did in the case of Adam if the were the case that Eve was to bare the image of God just as Adam did. It would have saved Adam quite a nap, a surgery, and a rib.

When one begins to understand more fully the Holy Bible, then one begins to realize something about the characteristics of the Judea-Christian God, that God is divinely methodical in his omniscience. There is a purpose behind all of his works and his doings as Solomon points out in Ecclesiastes3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”.

God's in his divine omnipotence is capable of fashioning a help meet for man in the creation of woman by forming her out of the dust and breathing into her the breath of life as well. But God doesn't do this one surmises, chiefly, because in his divine methodology in which God is a most excellent designer and his ways are higher than our ways. God had a better design. God has decreed that their should be divine symbolism present in humanity in the distinct gender differences of the man and the woman and the metaphorical nature of their relationship. Throughout the course of Biblical History it appears that God has certain methodology for creating and accomplishing his works through means of symbolism which points to a higher purpose.

For the purpose of illustration, it is common knowledge that a pool player calls out his last shot by citing which pocket he will place the eight ball, but if God were analogized as a pool player then perhaps that pool player would call out the entire ball placement in sequence of the entire engagement of pool play before even breaking the the racked assortment of balls and subsequently perform it flawlessly, as God states in Revelation 1:11... I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: . Whether God would accomplish it all in one shot or in a sequence of shot one only surmises, but one speculates that God in the analogized as a pool player would engage in the activity in such that the entire enactment of God's per-illustrated predestined perfect game of pool would point to something of a more noble nature then just an abstract parlor game. One surmises that God would use that game of pool to metaphorically point to a higher truth. And in the Holy Bible, God does just that. He has created, foreknown, and foreseen all creation from beginning to end, and God has overseen and has always been engaged in heaven and earth and culminated its rhyme, rhythm, and suspense through the ages as he promised Abraham in Genesis 15:5 & 22:17 to point to that most eminent being in existence, himself, in the person of the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the savior for all humanity that all souls may be fulfilled through him perfect and acceptable to a Holy God.

It is the repeated symbolism in the Holy Bible contained in the Old Testament where the establishment and history of the Ancient Hebrew people is depicted (Genesis 15:1,15:6 & 15:13) and it is simultaneously in sync and in accordance with the New Testament occurrence of Jesus Christ and the New Testament establishment of the beginnings of the Kingdom of Heaven being established on the earth to the Gentile World which continues on in the course of human history even to this present day and unto the ending of the world.

And so as if this were a small matter, one reasons that in creating Eve as God did from Adam and for Adam not from the dust but fashioned from Adam's rib and then having her cleave unto him so that their souls be knit, bound together in one flesh, under Adam's authority being vested in him by God as the 1st image bearer of God and under the blessing of Genesis 2:23-24, God is symbolically indicating something and setting a precedence for human existence that mirrors a higher truth.
