| | Our Scripture reading for today comes from the book of Genesis, chapters 1 and 2.
"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 Adam gave names to all cattle, and
to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam
there was not found an help meet for him.
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;
And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
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 2.20-23)
24 verses apart, we have two versions of the same story. And this
is hardly the exception. No wonder Western history is so messed
up, we're too indecisive.
