Eve Was Not Adam's Helper by Techobeys: 11:53pm On Feb 14
Our interpretation of the underlying purpose of life affects how we interpret every information in life. For most institutions, the purpose of life is procreation. Almost every sector of science and religion holds the idea that procreation is the fundamental reason for life and existence. This belief also affects how we interpret biblical text.

A person who already thinks that procreation is the underlying purpose of life will interpret the word “helper” in the same line of thought, and they will definitely say that the woman is man’s helper because only a woman can help a man achieve procreation.

This is why every Abrahamic religion believes that Eve was the helper God mentioned he would make for Adam—Genesis 2:18. Inasmuch as a person does not see any other purpose to life other than procreation, it’s very reasonable to think Eve was Adam’s helper as she will help Adam bring forth his offspring.

Could there be another perspective to life? Could there be another purpose to life other than procreation. The answer is yes. There is another perspective to life and those who see this perspective see a different purpose to life other than procreation.

It’s important to note that Jesus is the truth of life, and before Jesus, men before him did not have a true understanding of the purpose of life. However, these men have already established procreation to be the purpose of life and have already believed that Eve was Adam’s helper for achieving this purpose of life in the beginning.

This is why women were not often recorded in the lineage of a family in many ancient societies as is seen in the bible because a woman’s purpose in life was believed to be merely to help a man procreate. Once a man has procreated, he has no need for the woman and a woman who could not serve this purpose was useless.

For example, Adam and Eve had more than Cain and Abel at the early part of their life but these were not counted because they were women, making us wonder who Cain married. Even when Jesus fed the multitude with 5 loaves of bread, only the men were counted, and the women were not considered important to be counted.

Procreation has never been God’s purpose for creating humankind despite the scientific and religious belief. The will of God from the beginning of time is for all men—that is, all created—to know the truth. This makes teaching each other the truth becomes the underlying purpose of life.

Each person who has known the truth has the fundamental responsibility to teach it to the next person. This is how the whole world is to be filled with the knowledge of the truth. Anyone who teaches another person the truth will be said to be helping that person know the truth.

In the case of Adam and Eve, it is totally wrong to say Eve was the helper of Adam because Eve was the less informed individual among the two, and Adam was rightfully Eve’s teacher. Therefore, Adam was the helper of Eve and not the other way round as we’ve been made to believe in times past.

Genesis 2:18

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an HELP meet for him. KJV

‭‭
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a HELPER suitable for him.” NIV

The question should have been:

What did God mean by calling Eve an helper to Adam?

May you have PEACE! smiley

This begs the question: who was the helper God mentioned in Genesis? Who else was in the Garden of Eden aside Eve? Inasmuch as the true purpose of life as seen in Christ is “teaching,” this makes the helper that God mentioned in Genesis Adam’s teacher. This helper was going to teach Adam all things with respect to his responsibility and function and give him knowledge to rule the world. This helper was the Holy Spirit.

Consequently, Adam, being already helped by the Holy Spirit had the fundamental responsibility to teach (and help) the woman to know the truth and rule the world. Adam’s fall was mainly lack of this function. He didn’t do what was expected from him.

The true purpose of life was restored to earth through Christ after humans gadded off the path of truth. Looking at Christ, we see that he was taught and led by the spirit—he was helped by the spirit. Christ being helped by the spirit became humanity’s helper, teaching us what is good and acceptable unto God.

Well Adam was a PERFECT creature made in God's image so what he needs is an helper to keep his company and warm his bed:

Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their hard work. Ecclesiastes 4:9

if two lie down together, they will stay warm, but how can just one keep warm? Ecclesiastes 4:11

The Holy Spirit comes into the scene after the fall of man to help the imperfect man recollect all the information given to do God's will {John 14:6} as for perfect Adam God was directly talking to him it was after the fall of man that we no longer merit that closeness! Romans 3:23

So the Holy Spirit is God's active force used to help IMPERFECT humans not PERFECT beings!

You are talking rubbish.

Man had everything life, purpose, etc before he sinned. it is his sins that made him lose everything.

So before sin, Female Adam was Male Adam's helper.

Stop overthinking things.
Re: Eve Was Not Adam's Helper by Techobeys: 3:34pm On Feb 16
There is a fascinating link between Adam and the man called Jesus. Jesus was said to be the new Adam after the first Adam jeered off the path of life. Jesus restored humanity to the path of life. Jesus handed every human the purpose and gives a new name to everyone. Adam named all in the beginning, but Jesus renamed us in line with the purpose of God.

The church is the similitude of Eve just as Jesus is the similitude of Adam. Jesus is the helper of the Church so as Adam was the helper of the Eve. Inasmuch as the church is not the helper of Jesus, Eve was never the helper of Adam.

Although this perspective is more reasonable, it will be difficult to accept for those who think procreation is the purpose of life. Since science already says that procreation is the goal of evolution and every religion says that Eve was the helper, it’ll be easy for people to accept these worldly believes than actually thinking about this.

This knowledge is important for people desiring to go into marriage. Men must understand their place and rightfully take their position as helpers and teachers of their wives. Christian men must realign their perspective with that of Christ and shit from what science and religion say helper is.

Men must understand that their main role in a woman’s life is to teacher of the truth and the principle of righteousness. Women also need to understand their place in a family is to learn from the man and not just to bear him children. Thank you for reading.

Women were not recorded because men, who were stronger and the hunters for food and owner of resources, considered them the weaker sex, and this informed the lie about Eve in Genesis, despite both male and female being created equally in 1.

Eve did not only help Adam. She educated him to use his own senses instead of merely believing eating fruits of knowledge would kill him. And like a man who finds a good woman, she freed him from naked slavery in Eden, and made them self-employed from where we read they populated the entire earth.

If Jesus had not had an educated Mary as his mother, he would have ended up a mere carpenter at best.

You are talking rubbish. Women are not recorded by the bible because their deeds are always evil and there is almost nothing good in them as real eyeity has now proven up to the point that women are synonymous with evil.

I hope you’re able to change your perspective. Don’t mind the quarrelers on the thread. Just read and see a different perspective. God bless you.

From the text itself, we can see how Eve helped Adam by freeing him from ignorant naked slavery, thereby allowing him to become self employed and only then procreating.

So I'd say Eve helped Adam learn to use his own senses to survive (as indicated in the supposed curse), just as Jesus teaches to do.
