"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27). "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” (Gen. 2:7). "And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). "And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he 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. 23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man” (Genesis 2:21–23).
Everything becomes rather simple and straightforward when we rely on God’s explanation for truthful information. Isn’t God good and wise to have shared with us the origination of this world and the inhabitants of it?! You don’t have to have a degree in biology or molecular sciences to come to a right conclusion and understanding of the basic formation and definition of man and woman. It is well documented and simple enough that from your childhood you should have obtained this knowledge. How are these simple truths escaping some of the most brilliant minds among us? Do they truly not know, or have they suppressed their knowledge of the the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18)? As God has not been retained in their thoughts, and His creative acts that speak in deafening tones of His glory have been denied and replaced by foolishness out of a darkened heart, the things nature teaches us have been abandoned (Romans 1:20-21, 24-25). Psalm 14:1 expressed well the times we live in by stating, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, There is none that doeth good.”
With the denial of God’s clear design and established distinctions between the sexes has entered in confusion and disorientation to the extent of welcoming depravity and total defiance of moral purity on a scale not seen before in our nation. The natural has been exchanged for the unnatural and immoral, bringing in decay and utter deterioration of society and a nation (1 Cor. 11:8-9, 11-12, 14; Rom. 1:26-28).
Men and women have a God-given physical appearance, physiological and emotional makeup that is not to be mixed up, and is unalterable. The roles and order God has established is best for the preservation of societal, marital and parental stability and sanctity. God’s blessings follow from acknowledging God’s ways. Forgetting God always ends poorly.
