1 Nutriendo las Naciones
Génesis 2 Correspondiendo (Diferente) En Función Introduction Men and women are created equal and different. They are equal in being and different in function. Genesis 1 reveals that Men and Women are equal in being. It is not only men who are made in the image of God, but women are made in the image of God as well. It reveals that the imago Dei: Male and Female have equal responsibility for the Creation Mandate and its subordinate social and developmental mandates.

3 Humanidad Dos tipos complementarios de Humanidad
masculino-adán femenino-adán Ambos han sido dotado diferente para sus tareas en la comunidad, sus diferentes roles y funciones son iguales y necesarias para el cumplimiento del mandato cultural Men and women are equal in being and their distinct difference are equally valuable in carrying out the Creation Mandate. Because of this there is no room for Sexism that says men are superior to women in being and function Feminism which says because men and women are equal, there is no distinction in function

4 ¡Este no es un Mundo de Hombres!
Es el mundo de Dios. It is a Human world The focus of the activity is not to be on male. This is not a male back dropped world it is a God back dropped world. Adam – female and male, are here to fulfill God’s purpose. In Genesis 2 we will examine the foundation for the unique role and function afforded to women. To use a newspaper analogy, if Genesis 1:26-28 were the headline on the creation of the imago Dei, then Genesis 2 is the unfolding of the story

5 El Desarrollo de la Historia
Único en género: Génesis 2:18a, 20b La Contraparte: Génesis 2:20 La creación de Eva: Génesis 2:21-22 Ella será Llamada Varona: Génesis 2:23 El Misterio Sagrado – Una Carne: Génesis 2:24 Desnudo y no Avergonzado: Génesis 2:25 1. Transition: Genesis 1 is the headline: God creates the heaven and the earth. Then Genesis 2 begins to give more details of the creation.

6 El Contexto para la Creación de la Gloriosa Eva
Conjunto #1: Génesis 2:1-3 Preguntas: ¿Qué rol tiene Génesis 2:1-3 en la narrativa? ¿Qué revela acerca de Dios? Conjunto #2: Génesis 2:4-6 Pregunta: ¿Qué cosas faltan en el jardín a medida que nos movemos a través de esta transición? Conjunto #3: Génesis 2:7-8, 15 Pregunta: ¿Cómo respondió Dios a esa falta? Small Group Work Read one set of verses and answer the question(s). Feedback Genesis 2:4 picks up the story of the creation of Adam and Eve. A transition is built into the story, with the statement that God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 2:4) Then come the startling words “and there was no man to work the ground,…” (Genesis 2: 5b) Then God creates man (Genesis 2:7): “the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. [1] [1]The New International Version, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House) 1984.

7 Juego de Palabras: adam y adama
“Inicialmente, Dios hizo a adán de la ‘adama’ para arar la ‘adama’ (Gen 3:23), para producir vida. La ‘adama’ era posesión de Dios y bajo su cuido (Gen 2:6). Por lo tanto, el primer adán (el hombre, Adán) y su familia debían servir a Dios y obedecerle manteniendo las relaciones intencionadas verticalmente y horizontalmente.” Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament We see the relationship between man and the cultivating of the soil and the creation of culture (as referenced in Genesis 1) in the language of Genesis 1-3. Here mankind is adam and the ground is adama. The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament describes the play on words between man and the earth. [1] Harris, R. Laird, Editor; Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament Volume; Moody Press, Chicago, IL, 1980; pg 11

8 Humanidad: La Conexión entre el Cielo y la Tierra
El hombre es la única criatura que su ojos están hacia el cielo y sus pies y manos en la tierra. El hombre es el conector para llevar a cabo el mandato divino en la Tierra. 1. This is the connection back to man’s purpose in his being made in the image of God. He is to steward – work and care- for God’s creation

9 ¡Solo!

10 ¡Solo! Génesis 2:18a, 20b Preguntas:
Otra vez, aquí hay algo que falta! ¿Qué hace falta? ¿Cuál es la relación entre estos versículos y Génesis 2:5b? ¿Está el hombre realmente solo? ¿Que significa esto? Small Group Work Read the passages and discuss the questions. Feedback More startling words. Just as there was no man to work the ground in Genesis 2:5b), now there is no one to help the man in the Cultural Mandate. Twice God states that the individual man Adam is alone, there is no woman-adam. Genesis 2: 18a: “ It is not good for the man to be alone.” Genesis 2: 20b: “ But for Adam no suitable helper was found.”

11 ¡Solo en Género! Génesis 2:20b: “…mas para Adán no se encontró una ayuda que fuera idónea para él.” Is Adam truly alone? No, he is not! As a relational being, he is in relationship. First, he is in relationship with His Creator, another “person,” and infinite-person. He has an unbroken communion, communication with God; and yet God can still say that Adam is alone. Second, he is in relationship with the creation. He is in the paradise of the Garden of Eden. He relates to the other living creatures, the animals. And he studies them enough to be able to identify their individual uniqueness and thus be able to name them (Genesis 2:19-20). He is engaged with his task of stewardship. God judges the situation and says that “It is not good for the man to be alone.” The fact that man is alone in kind is not good. It does not fit with God’s plan and intentions This does not mean “morally bad” but is referring to the incompleteness of the situation. Most cultures view woman as a curse and male sufficiency as the highest value. This statement, challenges sexism and feminism. It recognizes the absolute goodness and necessity of the manifestation of the feminine spirit in woman.

12 ¡Solo en Género! ¡Y aún Adán esta solo! Hace falta su contra parte
El está solo en género La imago Dei es masculina y femenina Adán está “incompleto” There is counterpart in the Trinity. And there is counterpart in the animal kingdom. But for man there is no counterpart, another like him and yet different, a female-adam There is no human community to fulfill the relational part of being the image of God and There is no counterpart needed to fulfill the Cultural Mandate.

13 La Gloriosa Eva Man’s incompleteness is not a surprise to God.
The unfolding of the divine plan, as outlined in Genesis 1:26-28, is not completed yet. Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. The great artist captures this moment brilliantly. The Father God has just created Adam. One cannot quite tell if the fingers on the out stretched hand of God and Adam are yet touching. It is the moment of “separation.” And where is Eve? She is not yet created. But she is not un-thought-of. The glorious Eve is yet in the mind of God. Michelangelo paints her image just in back of the Father’s head. Eve is needed and she is coming. But at this moment, Adam is alone in kind.

14 La Contraparte

15 La Contraparte ¡La tarea de pro-creación y mayordomía no requieren una idéntica, sino una similar para completar el mandato de Dios! We find, in response to Adam being alone in kind, God is going to create a suitable helper for Adam

16 “Ayuda Idónea” Kenegdo: “idónea,” “como él,” “correspondiente de él,” “concuerda con él,” o “complemento” Ezer: “ayuda,” “socorrer,” “asistir,” “apoyar,” “consolar” Let’s look at these in their turn. [1] Strach, ??????? pg. 23

17 Ezer Pregunta #1: ¿Cuándo tu piensas en la palabra “ayuda” qué imágenes vienen a tu mente? Pregunta #2: ¿Qué tipo de estatus tiene alguien que es “ayuda” en tu cultura? Pregunta #3: ¿Qué piensas que las Escrituras quieren decir cuando dicen que la mujer es la “ayuda” del hombre? Small Group Work Discuss each of these questions. As a group, develop a picture that reflects what a helper means in your cultural context! Feedback

18 Ezer Grupo #1: Dt. 33: 26, 29; Sal. 115: 9-11; Sal. 121: 1-2
Preguntas: ¿Quién es llamado ezer? ¿Cuál el la naturaleza de ezer? Grupo #2: Is. 30:5; Ez. 12:14; Dn.11:34 Preguntas: ¿Qué hace un ezer en estos pasajes? ¿Qué revela esto del carácter de un ezer? Small group work Read one set of verses and answer the questions Feedback Question: Is being an ezer a virtue or a vice? Why? Note that God is the ezer of Israel. This is His “Mother-heart” being manifested.

19 Ezer Usado 21 veces en el A.T. 16 veces para Dios
3 veces para auxilio a personas en necesidad 2 veces para la mujer There is no sense of inferiority in this word. It has been absolutely wrong for people to assume that a “helper” is inferior to the one helped. This rules out any bigoted thought that the man is superior to the women as ezer is inferior to the man. In fact the woman as ezer manifests the nature and character of the living God. After all God is The Helper of Israel and of humankind.

20 La Humildad Divina John Piper
“Así es con Dios. Cuando Dios ayuda a su pueblo, retiene su deidad gloriosa pero (asombrosamente) pasa al rol de siervo, más humilde que nosotros, para exaltarnos. El es el Dios que se vació y se bajó a nuestro nivel – más humilde aún, al nivel de esclavo – para ayudarnos al extremo en la cruz. Por lo tanto, el hecho de que el Antiguo Testamento retrata a Dios como nuestro ayudante comprueba que el papel de ayuda idónea es un papel glorioso, digno aún del Omnipotente.” John Piper Remember God is a servant-God In this and other senses, the Almighty God subordinates Himself to human beings. Our needs set His agenda (John 3:16) Yet, in His humility, He does not cease to be God. No, He affirms His Divine Humility This is a signature of godly humility, not inferiority. In fact, God is the humble God; He models this humility in the fact that He is our helper. God is a Sovereign-Helper. He is in authority over and at the same time is an assistant to humankind. [1] Piper, John ???; Recovering Biblical View ??????? pg 104

21 Kenegdo La ayuda es una “ayuda idónea.”
Esta es la palabra en Hebreo kenegdo. Esto significa “como él” y “correspondiente a él,” concuerda con él” o “contraparte.” Sinónimos Futuros: “idónea,” “apropiada,” o “complementaria.” Just as the individual members of the Trinity are the ‘counterparts” of one-another, so the woman is the counterpart of the man. [1] Strach, ??????? pg. 23

22 Uniformidad Correspondencia
This is like the two parts of a latch, the two ends of a Velcro strap, the two ends of a belt buckle, the two ends of a seat belt, a button and a button-hole, the slider and chain of a zipper. They correspond to one another. If you take away one of the parts the other part cannot function as it was designed.

23 Uniformidad Correspondencia
They are not the identical like two ends of a shoe lace or a pair of shoes; They are different, by design. Yet they form a whole. If both unique parts were not present the mechanism would not function. The very nature of a counterpart is that it must be functionally different for it to complete that which is lacking. The man and the woman are counterparts one of the other. Note the symmetry of a counterpart. The woman is not just suitable for the man, but the man is suitable for the woman.

24 Elisabeth Elliot “…el hombre y la mujer son “dos criaturas impresionantemente parecidas y grandemente diferentes.” This is the secret to their unity, they are functionally different. Man as the ‘head” initiates, the woman as the “heart” responds. Together they form a whole imago Dei to carry out the purpose of transforming the raw stuff of creation into godly culture. There is no room here for any male dominant culture. What we find in the concept of the counterpart is a human dominant culture in which the unique contributions of male and female create a glorious whole. [1] Elliot, Elisabeth; Mark of A Man; ?????; pg. 24

25 La Creación de Eva Génesis 2:21-22: “Entonces el Señor Dios hizo caer un sueño profundo sobre el hombre, y éste se durmió; y Dios tomó una de sus costillas, y cerró la carne en ese lugar. 22 Y de la costilla que el Señor Dios había tomando del hombre, formó una mujer y la trajo al hombre.” Now we come to the formation of Eve, the completion of God’s creative activity. We will soon hear the Creator’s pronouncement “it is very good.” In Genesis 2:21-22 we read of the high-water-mark of creation: So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

26 Fuente del 2do Adán (adam)
El primer Adán (adam) – masculino, vino del polvo adama El segundo y complementario adam-femenina, fue formada del primer Adán (adam) El origen del hombre fue el polvo. El origen de la mujer fue el hombre.

27 La Creación de Eva Edward’s The Divine Romance
“ Now holding her beside himself, he glanced quickly around, then raised his hand toward the heavens. Creator, Lord. Hear me! Angels, hear me! Seraphim and cherubim. Creatures of the deep, upon the land and in the sky, I am one once more. Behold, my counterpart! More beautiful, more glorious than all realms combined. At last! Bone of my bone, Flesh of my flesh. And I … Man! your earthen Lord … I … I … am … no … longer … alone! Hear me, Realms seen, Realms unseen, The aloneness is broken Forever! And now, my Lord my God my Creator It was not good for Man To be alone. Henceforth, Forever, All things are good. ‘There remains but one thing, the ultimate completion of all oneness … first …You in me, now … I …in you!’ So it came about, there in the serene beauty of the Garden of Eden, a place more beautiful than heaven and earth, he embraced her again, and while angels rejoiced in that primordial age of innocence, the ruler of earth and his counterpart became, once more … one flesh.”[1] [1] ibid Edwards; pg

28 El Complemento de Adán “Ella no fue tomada de la cabeza, para mostrar que no iba a gobernar sobre él; no fue tomada de su pie, para enseñar que no iba a ser su esclava; no fue tomada de su mano, para mostrar que no iba a ser su herramienta; sino fue tomada de su costado, para mostrar que iba a ser su compañera.” Pastor John Angell She is to be his counter-part, his suitable helper. She is not his property or slave. She was designed to serve along side, thus it is appropriate that she was formed from his side [1] James, John Angell; Female Piety; Edited by Rev. Don Kistler; Soli Deo Gloria Publications ?????; pg. 54

29 La Gloria de la Mujer Aquí no hay una esclava para ser maltratada.
Aquí no hay una propiedad para ser comprada y vendida. Aquí no hay un objeto sexual para el placer del hombre. Aquí hay una, no para ser menospreciada y atropellada por el Sexismo, tampoco una para aplastar de la manera que lo hace el feminismo.

30 La Gloria de la Mujer Aquí está la corona de la corona de la creación.
Aquí, en forma humana, de la mano del Creador mismo, está la manifestación del corazón maternal de Dios. Aquí está la Madre de todo lo que vive, la esposa del primer hombre. Aquí está la que precede a la Novia de el Hijo de Dios, que es digno de Dios Mismo.

31 La Corona de la Creación
Proverbios 12:4a 1 Corintios 11:7b Small Group Work Read the two passages Proverbs 12:4a: “A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, ….” The Apostle Paul describes states of the counter part, “the woman is the glory of the man (1 Cor 11:7b) What do they reveal about woman? Feedback Each stage of the creation process ascended from lower forms to higher forms, from a lower glory to a higher glory.

32 La Corona de la Creación
La corona de la creación de Dios es adán. La corona de adán-masculino es adán-femenino. ¡La mujer es la gloria del hombre!

33 Será Llamada Mujer: Génesis 2:23: “Esta sí que es hueso de mis huesos y carne de mi carne; Será llamada Õishshah [ish-shaw’] ‘mujer,’ porque del Õiysh [eesh] hombre fue tomada.” These are the first recorded human words, and they are poetry. What do they express? The joy of the first man receiving the gift of the first woman: This creature alone, Father, out of all the others - this one at last meets my need for a companion. She alone is my equal, my flesh. I identify with her. I love her. I will call her Woman, for she came out of Man.” The man perceives the woman not as his rival but as his partner, not as a threat … but as the only one capable of fulfilling his longing within.[1] [1] Piper; Recovering Biblical …. Pg. 10

34 “Llamar” – qara La palabra Hebrea qara significa “llamar”
Es usada de dos maneras Para llamar a existencia Para el proceso de nombrar Génesis 1:3-5: “Dijo Dios: ‘Sea la luz,’ y fue la luz. Vio Dios que la luz era buena, y separó la luz de las tinieblas. Llamó a la luz ‘Día,’ y a las tinieblas llamó ‘Noche.’” Note the dual use of word in Genesis. Both are exercises of authority. The first is to use “speech” to call things into existence: “And God said,” (Genesis 1:3,6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24). The second use of words, God named the things that he made.

35 El Concepto de Nombrar Nombrar establece la autoridad del que nombra
Nombrar identifica lo nombrado Just as God establish his authority over creation by naming it, so His vice-regent exercises dominion over creation by naming the animals (Genesis 2:19-20). We see this clearly in our own lives when we name our children. The God of the universe recognizes our authority over our children by calling them by the names that we give them. My wife and I discovered this awesome task after we named our first child, Nathan. It dawned on us, what would God call our son? He would call him “Nathan.” Why? Because that is the name that we gave him.

36 La palabra adán usada de tres maneras
El nombre genérico para la raza humana (Génesis 1:26) El nombre de una persona en particular, el primer ser humano – Adán (Génesis 3:17, 21, 4:1, 25; 5:1) El nombre para el masculino de la raza (Génesis 2:5, 7, 8, 15, 16 18, 19, 20) God names the human race (Genesis 5:1-2): “This is the written account of Adam’s line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them “man.” [1] In the phrase “Adam’s line,” the Hebrew scripture use ÕAdam [2], referring to his proper name. The name given to the line of Adam, the human line is as well, “adam” He did not name the human race Eve [1]The New International Version, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House) 1984. [2]Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) 1995.

37 Dios habló y creó el universo. El hombre habla y crea la cultura.

38 El Nombramiento del Hombre
adán – el hombre establece su autoridad sobre la creación nombrando los animales (Génesis 2:19-20) Nombra la mujer Nombre genérico mujer – Õishshah [ish-shaw’] (Génesis 2: 23b) Nombre particular para su esposa - Chavvah - Eva (Génesis 3:20) significa “vida” o “viviente,” porque ella sería la madre de todo lo que tiene vida. [1]Enhanced Strong’s Lexicon, (Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.) 1995.

39 Õiysh – Õishshah Õiysh es la palabra Hebrea para “masculino” y para “esposo (Génesis 2:23-24).” Õishshah es la palabra Hebrea para mujer Un juego de palabras en Hebreo: Ella será llamada Õishshah, porque ha sido tomada del Õiysh.

40 Õiysh – Õishshah “Este juego de palabras señala el hecho que la mujer también es hombre – she man, womb-man, or female man.” Leanne Payne Counselor and Author On a physical/sexual level, the woman is the counterpart of the man, the female of the male. This is inherently obvious. On the spiritual/transcendent level the feminine is the counterpart of the masculine, the Mother-heart of God perfectly matches the Father-heart of God. This is intuitively obvious Because of the Creation Mandate, adam the imago Dei: male and female has ministerial, care-taking authority over the creation. Together, they exercise this authority through their pro-creativity and their dominion over adamah Adam naming the woman signifies that he has loving-servant-authority over her. He is to husband his wife the way they are to exercise husbandry of the soil. [1] Payne, Leanne: Crisis in Masculinity; Crossway Books, Westchester, Ill. 1989; pg. 86

41 Esposo As we have seen humankind is to husband creation in God’s stead. This reflects the cultivating of the soil and the soul, into the most amazing enterprise of creating godly culture. In a similar vein, the husband is to loving-care for his wife.

42 The name symbolic of Yahweh’s relation to Israel
Ish The name symbolic of Yahweh’s relation to Israel

43 El pacto de matrimonio entre Dios e Israel (Éxodos 19-24)
Éxodo 20: 1-2 El Novio le recuerda a Israel lo que ha hecho por ella Éxodo Dios le dice a Su gente que deben vivir como Su pueblo santo Éxodo 24:3 Israel dice “¡acepto!” Éxodo 24:9-11 Celebración de la boda Jeff Meyers describes this when he writes: “The wedding service is recorded in Exodus Moses is the minister officiating at the wedding. He goes up on the mountain to hear the Lord’s word and brings it back down to the people. The husband’s part of the wedding service begins with the Lord reminding His bride of what He has done for her (Ex. 20:1-2). Then Yahweh tells the Israelites how they are to live as His holy people (Ex.20-23). When Moses brings these words to the people, they say basically, ‘I do’: ‘All the words which the LORD has said we will do!’” (Ex. 24:3) The wedding ceremony ends with a reception, a feast in the Lord’s presence (Ex. 24:9 –11). Then, once Yahweh and Israel are married, Yahweh moves in with His bride.”[1] [1] Meyers, Jeff; A Little Bit of Molech in My Life. TABLETALK; January 2001; pg. 15

44 El Orden y Ordenanzas de la Creación
El orden de la creación revela que el hombre fue creado primero (Génesis 2:7, 18). La mujer fue creada para el hombre (Génesis 2: 18, 20). La mujer fue creada del hombre (Génesis 21-23a). La mujer fue traída al hombre (Génesis 22a). La mujer fue nombrada por el hombre (Génesis 23b). Elisabeth Elliot observes five things that establish the husband’s self- sacrificing headship over his wife: The order of creation reveals that the man was created first (Genesis 2:7, 18). Paul reinforces this in 1 Corinthians 11:3 and in different context in 1 Timothy 2:13 The woman was created for the man (Genesis 2: 18, 20). Paul reinforces this in 1 Corinthians 11:7-9 The woman was created from the man (Genesis 21-23a). 1 Cor. 11:3, 7 Paul argues that this is the reason that the man is the head of the woman. Paul also argues for symmetry between the man and the woman 1 Corinthians 11: 12. He argues that the first woman came from the first man, but ever since all other men and women have come from the woman, the mother. He then argues, “But everything comes form God.” It must be noted that the order of creation (male first) and the ordinances of creation are normative for life and practice unless and until they are explicitly modified by subsequent Biblical revelation

45 Distinciones Funcionales
Transition Being created first does not mean that man is better. We must continually remind ourselves that in terms of significance, men and women are equal in their being. And, while there functions are different, those differing functions do not establish a superior-inferior relationship. They form complementary relationship

46 Distinciones Funcionales
Mientras que el hombre y la mujer son iguales en su ser, son diferentes en sus responsabilidades hacia el Mandato Cultural en la pro-creación y en su desarrollo.

47 Diferencias Funcionales
En el Mandato Cultural, adán- masculino manifestará de forma más completa el Corazón Paternal de Dios, mientras adán-femenino manifestará el Corazón Maternal de Dios. Juntos, como imago Dei, el propósito de su creación - de crear una cultura bondadosa y ser gobernadores de la creación, será cumplida. Being created first does not mean that man is better. We must continually remind ourselves that in terms of significance, men and women are equal in their being. And, while there functions are different, those differing functions do not establish a superior-inferior relationship. They form complementary relationship

48 Roles Complementarios
El Esposo: amoroso-servicial-la cabeza de su esposa La Esposa: amorosa-respetuosa-ayudante de su esposo These are God ordained roles. They are not interchangeable. One of the differences is in the area of authority between the man and the woman in a very narrow realm in the realm of marriage I will seek to argue that the husband Adam’s loving-servant-leadership role is over his wife Eve alone. Neither this section of scripture, nor Genesis 3, Jesus, Paul or any other N.T. writer establishes a generic role of authority for all men over all women. Women’s freedom for servant-leadership is found throughout the market place and the public square. Male servant-leadership role is very narrow. In fact, I will seek to argue that there are only two places in scripture where male authority over women is established and that is in the family, over their own wife (and no one else’s wife or single woman) and in the church as governing eldership.

49 Balance Bíblico “Es importante que la causa de no imponer sobre la mujer restricciones que las Escrituras no le imponen no deben ser confundidas con las metas muy diferentes de minimizar las distinciones de los sexos como fueron creados y de disminuir las responsabilidades inalienables del hombre en las relaciones de hombre - mujer como tal.” J.I. Packer [1] ???? Women, Authority and the Bible; Inter Varsity Press; Downers Grove, IL.1986; pg. 299

50 El Misterio Sagrado – Una Carne
Génesis 2:24: “Por tanto dejará el hombre a su padre y a su madre, se unirá a su mujer y serán una sola [echad] carne.” Ask Group What is the word “therefore” therefore? Because God has made Adam and Eve for community, Adam has recognized in this woman his counterpart Therefore: leave, cleave, be united!

51 La Primera Boda El final glorioso de la historia de la Creación es la “boda” de la primera pareja Adán y Eva Como imagen y modelo Para nuestras vidas Para la historia cuando Cristo regrese por su novia

52 El Patrón Trinitario Echad
Most people who read this passage of scripture ask the question how and two become one. The scripture reveals that 1+1=1. The math does not work.. We know that 1+1= 2 or 1+0=1 Many Christians function based on the second formula. They will think and act like one man plus one woman, who is a zero, equals one.

53 Dos Palabras Hebreas para “Uno”
Yachid – “singular,” “absoluto,” o “indivisible” Echad – “unido,” “compuesto,” o “ligado”

54 “Uno” Hebreo Esto es la unión de la diversidad. El “encaje” perfecto de seres humanos muy diferentes. Es la naturaleza de la Trinidad-Complementaria. No es: Unidad de uniformidad – El modelo feminista - Monismo Diversidad Absoluto – El modelo Sexista - Atomismo

55 Dejar “alejarse de” “ser libre de”
Some cultures have the wife leaving her family and joining the husband’s family. This can often lead to the woman being a little more than a servant or slave in her in-laws household. The Biblical pattern is radically different. It is not only that the woman is to leave her family, but the husband is to leave his family to begin a new family. To put it differently, in many cultures, modern and ancient, the woman had to give up everything she had known on her wedding day. The man was “secure” not having to give up anything. This virtue of leaving and cleaving is revolutionary. It turns the world upside down. This recognizes that a woman is more precious than rubies (Proverbs 31:10). She is like a pear of great price. She is so significant, that a man will leave everything behind, give up hall that he has, including his security, for her. God has designed marriage for creating a new family unit. Both the husband and wife, coming from two different families are to leave their parents and create a new family.

56 Unir “mantener cerca” “unirse a” “ser puestos juntos”
It is the picture of two planks of wood that have been glued together so that the point of the bond is stronger than either plank. If pressure is applied to the two planks the bond will hold. We see the power of this bonding when we see a young person abandoned by the person they loved. There is an emotional, psychological rending of the soul.

57 Las Palabras de Rut a Noemí
“No me rueges que te deje y me aparte de ti, porque a donde quiera que tu vayas, ire yo, y dondequiera que vivas, viviré. Tu pueblo será mi pueblo, y tu Dios, mi Dios. Donde tu mueras moriré yo, y allí sere sepultada. Traiga Jehovah sobre mi el peor de los castigos, si no es solo la muerte lo que hará separación entre nosotras dos.” Rut 1:16-17 Here is the bonding of a covenant relationship between three parties the woman, the man and their Creator. This has all the intimacy of the emotional and soulish bonding. Because it is a covenant relationship that includes the one who authored marriage, it is to be a faithful and lifetime relationship. It is to be with no other and is forever.

58 Una Carne

59 Tres Paradigmas Secularismo - no hay alma, sólo carne.
Dualismo - separa el alma del cuerpo y dice que el alma es buena y la carne es mala. Teísmo – no hay división entre el alma y la carne. El cuerpo y el alma residen juntos. In Secularism there is no soul, only flesh Sex is all there is. Sex is commercialized, women’s images and women themselves are merchandised It is used by men to control and conquer women Theism The physical body reveals the transcendence of masculine and feminine The “one flesh” is the mysterious fusion of two lives into one on all levels Sex is glorious (not to be denied by prudishness) Sex is made for the sacredness of marriage Two books of the Bible deal exclusively with one flesh the Song of Solomon, is dedicated to the gloriousness of sex. Hosea, is given to the restoration of the marriage and the sacredness of the marriage bed.

Grupo #2: Ex. 33:17; Dt. 34:10 Grupo #3: Génesis 4:1; 19:8; Números 31: 17, 35 Small Group Work Read one set of Scriptures What does the Hebrew word Yada refer to in this context? Feedback The Intimacy of marriage The Hebrew word yada is used to describe the intimacy of God’s knowledge of humankind (Genesis 18:19; Deut. 34:10; Isaiah 48:8; Psalms 1:6; 37:18). “God know Moses by name and face to face” (Ex. 33:17; Deu. 34:10).[1] This is intimacy. It is also a word used to refer to the intimacy of sexual intercourse (Genesis 4: 1a) “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain….”[2] It is used similarly in Genesis 19: 8; Numbers 31:17, 35 and other passages. So the intimacy of marriage is a reflection of the intimacy between God and man. God designed sex for marriage and marriage for sex.

63 Familia – La Base de la Sociedad
“Es un compromiso a largo plazo que restringe el estar centrado en si mismo, la auto-indulgencia y la auto-gratificación. Es la relación que nos prepara y acondiciona efectivamente para la comunidad.” [1] S. Michael Craven; Why is Marriage Important?; on the web at ; pg. 2 the Nation Coalition for the Protection of Children and Families

64 Matrimonio la Base del Orden Social
Al promover el amor hacia otros y restringir el estar centrado en si mismo, el matrimonio llega a ser la base del orden social. El estar centrado en si mismo afecta todas las relaciones hasta que se llega a difundirse por toda la sociedad como ondas en un lago. Because the family is the basic building block of social order: The health of the family will determine the health of the society. Healthy families lead to healthy societies Broken families lead to broken societies

65 Desnudos y No Avergonzados
Génesis 2:25: “Estaban ambos desnudos, Adán y su mujer, pero no se avergonzaban.” There was harmony between God and Creation The man and women within themselves The man and woman with one-another. To put it differently there was transparency and peace in Creation and thus between the man and woman. There was no evil nor was there evil intent. They reveled in their nakedness and the glory of their union. However this was not to last long. As we shall see next, the “malevolent one” is about to intrude into paradise. Transition to SUMMARY
