A Gentle reminder to our biological partners
“The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him”----Genesis: Chapter 1, Verse 18
“So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took 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 man…’’-- Genesis: Chapter 1, Verse 21; 22
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.”--- Genesis: Chapter 1, Verse 23
Thus says the Bible on Creation on Human Kind. Now I see many women raising eyebrows, “So was Woman created just as a helper to man?”
Does “Helper” sound demeaning? Let’s see if it really does.
Woman a helper: To get in-depth in this, let’s first understand what a “Helper” means.
Qualities of a helper:
A helper is someone who
Gives assistance or to be of service
Contributes to the furtherance or promote
Gives relief
Eases, relieves
Changes for betterment or improve
Women by providing all these services are expected to help men grow in his personal, professional and social status.
Thus the helper should be knowledgeable in understanding the need and be able to help the person in need. Apart from having basic qualities and abilities that is required by an individual to serve her own, a woman should have additional qualities in understanding man’s need. And thus God felt men need assistance to rule this world and its creatures and also to take care of themselves better and thus created women with the special talents like Understanding men, ability to find means to help men, ability to provide peace in men’s life. Now it is fairly clear that women are blessed with these talents as in-born and not acquired.
Not only having done that, God also emphasizing the importance of a woman in a man’s life by quoting, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they will become one flesh” Genesis: Chapter 1, Verse 24.
This verse doesn’t need any explanation but plainly says “Wife” is someone who lives as flesh and blood of a man and claims the best possible relationship to a man than any other in this world. By saying so, since women are called “One Flesh” they are equal to men and they are as important as flesh and blood to a man.
But if any of the Feminists of Social activist may feel that men have forgotten your purpose of creation and you need to remind them, take the World book of Law and Living, The Bible for it is all written there, women are created with the special talents to be a helper in assist men in understanding the purpose of Women Creation to change their life for betterment and improvement.
