This seems like an odd topic to talk about, but I have been thinking a lot about them lately. They sure have been badly treated for eons. Men often treat them as no more than possessions, a piece of property, something to satisfy their sexual drive, something to make money with, slaves, have their babies and take care of them, and so on.
I don't believe Father God meant it to be this way. In the creation story of the Bible, God first creates man. The following is from Copilot:
-------------------------------------------------------
In this narrative, God forms man (Adam) from the dust of the ground and breathes into his nostrils the breath of life. Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden to tend it and is given the command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Then comes an important moment: God declares, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” (Genesis 2:18, ESV).
To achieve this, God first brings all the animals to Adam to see what he would name them—perhaps revealing that none of them were suitable as a counterpart. Then, God causes Adam to fall into a deep sleep, takes one of his ribs, and from it fashions the woman (later called Eve). Adam recognizes her immediately and says, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.”
The story is often interpreted to highlight companionship, complementarity, and a shared origin that forms the foundation for human relationships. It also contrasts with Genesis 1, where male and female are created together in the image of God—suggesting a poetic layering rather than a contradiction.
------------------------------------------------------------
I want to bring out some things that I think are very important to this story, found in Genesis 1
Genesis 1:26-28
New International Version
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have talked about this in other posts but let me reiterate them. In the creation narrative, the creator is in a plural form. I believe that Yeshua (Jesus), God's son, was with Father God during creation, thus "let us make mankind in our image". Something that has always struck me as odd. There is Father God (male), and his son Yeshua (male). We never see mention of a female in God's realm. But a female is created in their image?
To help with understanding that Yeshua was with Father God at creation, here is something he said:
John 17:1-5
New International Version
Jesus Prays to Be Glorified
17 After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 4 I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.
--------------------------------------------------
I remembered something that Yeshua said once when he was here on earth.
Mark 12:25
New International Version
25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Here is something that the Apostle Paul said:
Galatians 3:28
New International Version
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
He’s emphasizing spiritual equality and unity in Christ, not necessarily commenting on gender in the afterlife.
----------------------------------------------------
I read the book, 'Celestine Prophecy' a while ago and I remembered something in the book. I couldn't remember the specifics so asked Copilot about it. I thought it fit in with this subject nicely.
---------------------------------------------------
In The Celestine Prophecy, the central idea is that people can “steal” energy from one another if they aren’t spiritually grounded. Relationships work best when both individuals have aligned, flowing energy sourced from the divine, not drawn from each other. If that alignment breaks down—if someone relies on the other for spiritual validation or control—it leads to imbalance and dysfunction.
By contrast, the Bible speaks about relational harmony through a very different lens. In passages like Ephesians 5:21–33, unity in marriage is built on mutual love, sacrifice, and submission to one another out of reverence for Christ. The husband is called to love his wife “as Christ loved the church”, and the wife is invited to respond with respect and partnership. Rather than two individuals guarding their energy, Scripture emphasizes two becoming “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24)—a self-giving, covenantal unity rooted in divine love, not self-protection.
In short:
Celestine: Alignment is about tuning into universal energy individually and avoiding “control dramas.”
Scripture: Unity is forged through self-giving love, mutual submission, and shared purpose under God’s design.
