Gentlemen Please! Part 2 - How Grow Into a Strong Man

The Developmental Roles of a Man In Part 1, I have laid the foundation that when God created the first man, it was a vital aspect of this creation that He created the first woman to be his ally and wife. While the man was created with a greater physical strength than the woman, I have pointed out that the reason for this was that he might resemble God’s protective strength for her, and use his physicality to be productive. The woman was not created as a lesser, but as a correspondent to the man. Importantly I also pointed out that when the woman was created she was named ’Isha. While A’dam had been inspecting and naming each of the animals in the region of Eden as an act of vice-regent authority, it is not until after the Fall that Adam then re-names ’Isha as Eve (Gen. 3:20). In this chapter I discuss the God-ordained changing role of a man. I will also note that these changes demand something of a man that the Fall has made difficult for men to do (and I should know): to receive correction with humility. We begin by considering Genesis 2:24. Notice how many male relationship roles are alluded to in this foundational verse: ¶ Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
