CHAPTER 2, VERSES 20-25

…for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”

For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

As a feminist would say, “Every engineer makes a prototype before a final production model.”.........................

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan! :-)

[Artemis Webb]

Wow, a lot of these artist seemed to think Eve was created with a history of too many generous bowls of pasta.

[JoanSmith]

My mom would say God took something out of man, and put it in woman. That’s why they need us.

[Hebrews 11:6]

God doesn’t need prototypes..........................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou!

[Hebrews 11:6]

They paint what they like.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Moms know a lot.

[Vendome]

Eve is the apple of my eye...

[Hebrews 11:6]

Have you resumed verticality?

[etabeta]

#13 is very special. It is one of the many panels of the doors to the Baptistry in Florence, done in gilded bronze which at the time was very expensive. The doors have been taken to the Museum for better preservation, what tourists see now is a replica of the originals. The attention to detail in each of these panels is truly extraordinary, leading to Michelangelo himself to name them the Gates of Paradise.
Excellent presentation, Dan!

[Vendome]

I slept 14 hours yesterday and not wink last night.

I am coughing and sneezing occasionally but, thus headache won’t stop.

Great news is I can up and down the stairs without using handrail

My joints still hurt a bit

Today is looking much better!!!

There is a God!!!(which is why he let me suffer so I’d know I was still alive)

Thnx for asking...

[null and void]

I notice she is often depicted as a redhead.

We were doomed from the start...

[null and void]

As a feminist would say, “Every engineer makes a prototype before a final production model.”.........................

Adam was a prototype, but Eve was no prime rib!

[Hebrews 11:6]

I always try to include the Ghibertis. Didn’t know about their duplication.

[Hebrews 11:6]

There is a God!!!(which is why he let me suffer so I’d know I was still alive)

You are a mature believer.

[Hebrews 11:6]

LOL

[Dead Corpse]

Why do Adam and Eve have belly-buttons?

Sorry, this is how my mind works.
