“Do you agree that there are different roles/functions for Adam and Eve?”
The only obvious functions are biological. Child bearing and nursing. Other than that we have Gen 1 which says they are to have dominion TOGETHER.
And since God is described as an ezer and several men in the OT have names that are derived from Ezer, we cannot make that into a junior assistant position. It is a ‘help comparable’.
Unfortuantly, ‘scholars’ like Grudem are so inclined to male preeminance that he teache in his book on feminism that God is subordinate to us when HE helps us. Grudem teaches this in order to get around the Ezer problem. It really is Blasphemous. And I pray that more people will wake up to this.
I would like to see a list of pre fall NON biological attributes of men and women. Where does God say, women will think like this and men will think like that. Where does God say women will be more emotional and men will be stoic? How much of how we view the genders in terms of non biological attributes comes from post fall behavior and is cultural from centuries of nurturing?
