BS - I think we've taken this about as far as we can. There are TWO stories. One where man and woman are created together, and then a later story with Adam's rib being used to create Eve, who had already been created earlier according to Chapter 1.
"Adam" means: from ''adam' (119); ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.):--X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person. "
When we can't agree on the meaning of "one" or "two" we're just too far apart to have a real discussion.
But, I do appreciate that you did respond to my earlier post.
If by together, you mean simultaneously, then the conditions for Eve's creation would be the same as that of Adam, and specifically, she would also have been created in God's image directly, rather than by proxy.
Show me one single passage from the Bible where the phrase in God's/his image is used in direct relation to Eve's creation.
You are arguing with Jesus Christ, not me.
Jesus Christ quoted from verses in Genesis Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 when speaking about the marriage of Adam and Eve, and divorce in the Mark 10, thus unifying the accounts in Genesis Chapter 1 & 2. You will notice Adam and Eve become one flesh before Satan deceives Eve in Genesis Chapter 3, reinforcing the proper sequence.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Mark 10:4-9
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.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.[Gen 1:27]
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: [Gen 2:24] so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
