--- Quote from: mrsnacks on March 07, 2007, 04:59:51 PM ---I heard that from Ray that God created Adam first as male and female in the image of God. And then God separated the female part of Adam when He created Eve. Was Adam a male/female orginally ?
Anyway can you all comment on all this for me. Thanks.

In addition to Adam being made male/female, It is possible that God Almighty possesses the same quality. The Hebrew word for breast is 'shad', where we get El Shaddai:
Here's a clippet from a article I read researching Law v. Grace:
Genesis 17:1 "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am El Shaddai . . ."
Moses wrote these words many years later, after God had revealed Himself by the name of Yahweh. Moses tells us that Yahweh appeared to Abram but identified himself as El Shaddai. This tells us clearly that Yahweh and El Shaddai are the same God, even if they are identified by different names.
The names were intended to reveal that God is both masculine and feminine and is complete within Himself. Yahweh is masculine; El Shaddai is feminine. When God created man in His own image, He created Adam both male and female within himself. Later, He took Eve out of Adam and made them into two individuals. Yet this shows that God is both male and female.

How can God be both male and female if He is not a man?
Num 23:19 God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
He is not a physical being at all. He is Spirit.
Jhn 4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
God is Spirit. Does Spirit have male and female qualities I don't know? But to say that He is male and female doesn't make much sense to me.

Hi aktikt,
Well why is it so hard to believe that God would be male and female, having all the masculinity of the male and all the femininity of the female. This would make Him relate to all that both sexes experience. But more than that I would think it would make Him more of a whole being.
This verse indicates that He is male and female to me, "in the image of God He created him, male and female."
Gen 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

That verse in Num. is saying He is not a man in that He does not have the physical weaknesses of men in the flesh. He is the God of the OT, Jehovah, the Son who became Jesus Christ.
The Son was created to be the God of humanity, I think He will always present Himself in the form of a man, in Spirit form and in physical form.
Jer 32:27 "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
So that's my perspective on this :)
mercy, peace, and love
