“Perhaps we could delve a little deeper with more in the text. What does it mean to be created in the image of God? Is it equality? What did Adam mean when he said Eve was ‘bone of my bones’ etc? What is the meaning of becoming one flesh? Is this all equality statements in your opinion?”

Thesis have been written on what it means to be created in the image of God. I’m not convinced it means equal to Eloheim. No one is equal to Eloheim.

When Adam said that this one from him was bone of his bones and flesh of his flesh, I do think he was exclaiming that finally there was one like him. And yes, that would indeed express equality. However, it was God who said that she was to be equal when He said she was ‘ezer kenegdo’. And I don’t think that God was worried about “same as” problems. One can be equal yet different. 🙂
