“I would also like to back up gengwell in his definition of ‘ezer’ in Gen 2. I agree that it is wrong to understand this to show Adam’s authority as some comps might do. I equally see it as wrong to see it as an explanation of total equality, because as we understand it in relation to God being our ‘help’ He is most definately not ‘equal’ with us.”

I agree here but I would use stronger words and say that ezer doesn’t prove total equality or an authority of Adam’s. It doesn’t show any of it because it doesn’t prove any of it.

“I do not attempt to use it to support my view and i think it is equally wrong to attempt to use it to show total equality.”

Me too! The tighter the argument, the better. Where’s the proof is what it all comes down to for me.

I think that in your last comments you’ve made some great points, Mark! 🙂
