Many view this term helpmate as a status that places Eve underneath Adam. Thus the wife should be subordinate to her husband. But we shouldn’t forget that both Adam and Eve were created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). And God created Eve as Adam’s helpmate with no implication that she was subject to him. Of course that’s before the fall. Once sin en...
This might be the most egregious view that is unfortunately very common. When a Christian husband treats their wife as a servant that does his bidding he’s missed the point of what helpmate means. Wives aren’t a servant to their husbands, they are a co-labourer in Christ. Sadly many Christian marriages have been held back from reaching their full p...
Woman are meant for so much more than just supporting roles within the home. The Bible is full of stories that highlight women doing incredible things and holding leadership positions.

Most people cringe at the term helpmate today. It’s seen as a pejorative term. But nothing could be further from the truth. Ezer(helpmate) is a term of strength. It’s how God chooses to describe himself when he comes to the rescue of his people. If anything the term helpmate is pointing out the weakness in man, not woman. God created man to need a ...
Throughout the Old Testament God is described as his people’s ezer, their helpmeet. When this term is used to describe women what the Bible is doing is showing one of the ways that women uniquely carry the image of God. This isn’t a demeaning term or one that places woman below man. It’s the opposite. It’s a position of strength that reflects God’s...
Aug 1, 2014 · There is nothing in Genesis 1 or 2 that supports a hierarchical ideology of gender. Men and women have some differences, but we are also very similar. “Similar to him” and “corresponding with him” are the meanings of kenegdô, the word God used when making the woman in Eden.
May 9, 2022 · Answer. In Genesis 2:18, we read of the one thing that was not declared “good” in all of God’s creation: “Then the LORD God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone.’” The same verse includes God’s solution: “I will make him a helper fit for him.” Eve was the solution to Adam’s deficiency.
