Mark writes:“My view is this- men and women are equal in essence, in the image fo God, but not in function. e.g- Adam is commissioned to look after the Garden and Eve isnt- she is his helper.”

In Genesis, both male and female were given the same functions– procreator, multiplier, replenisher, and subduer. One was not the leader procreator and the other an assistant or subordinate procreator. One was not the leader multiplier and the other an assistant or subordinate multiplier and so on. The accomplishment of the tasks is dependent on each participating in their shared functions as procreator, multiplier, and replenisher according to their unique physical design.
