‘4. Is there a New Testament “proof” that Eve was made from the male and not divided from an androgynous human?

In 1 Corinthians 11:7-8, Paul states that the woman is the “glory” of the man (aner).

1 Corinthians 11:7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man (aner)
1 Corinthians 11:8 For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man (aner);

If the woman did not come from his own flesh as Adam declared she did, she wouldn’t have been his glory. She would have been her own glory.’

Love this part! Sorry for all the many comments… 😛 ‘Woman’ is contrasted with aner therefore is certainly means ‘male’ here in 11:8.
