The creation of Adam and Eve

[Jazzy]

Why weren’t Adam and Eve created at the same time (Genesis 2)?

 

[Odë:hgöd]

.
Eve was created simultaneously with Adam , but she wasn't constructed till later.

In point of fact, all of us were created simultaneously with Adam. For example new
babies aren't new creations, they're reproductions, i.e. Adam's life is a transferable
kind of life that serves to multiply himself; thus the saying: "in Adam all die"

Why weren’t Adam and Eve created at the same time (Genesis 2)?

Because Adam was to be the head of the human race. Not Adam and Eve. (Rom. 5:12-19) The accountability of 'one man' representing the whole provided a salvation by 'One Man'.

[Messy3]

I think because now everyone is from one blood, so Jesus could save us.


And He has made from one [j]blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth


Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not [h]give aid to angels, but He does [i]give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

 

[Odë:hgöd]

.
"I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul
knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in
secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see
my substance, yet being incomplete; and in thy book all my members were written,
which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them." (Ps
139:14-16)

The Hebrew word for "curiously wrought" has to do with skilled needlework, i.e.
embroidering, knitting, etc, which produce multicolored handmade articles rather
than made by machines; suggesting that the human body with all of its intricacies
was crafted by the hand of God.

The Hebrew words for "lowest parts of the earth" always, and without exception,
pertain to underground. (e.g. Ps 63:9, Isa 44:23, Ezek 26:20, Ezek 31:14, Ezek
31:16, Ezek 31:18, Ezek 32:18, and Ezek 32:24)

Some folk prefer to apply Ps 139:15 to a woman's womb; but women don't have to
go underground to get pregnant. No; I think it best, and far more sensible, to
interpret it as relating to the author's creation rather than his conception because
everyone is made, and has been made, from a Hebrew word pertaining to soil,
which contains materials derived from the disintegration of the Earth's own rocks.

Many of the Earth's rocks are, and were, formed underground and end up on or
near the surface via natural processes like volcanism, continental plate subduction,
and mighty earthquakes, etc. Once on the surface, the action of wind, water, and
temperature begin to erode rock and make dust with it.

In a nutshell: The author of Ps 139:14-16 believed that God saw his bodily
constituents while they were not yet even soil but were still underground, deep in
the Earth where they were being formed into rock which would later be broken
down to make the soil with which Adam's body was constructed per Gen 2:7

Your question has no answer other than that God chose to do it that way.

To me, "created" and "constructed" are exactly the same in Genesis 2. Where did you get these extra-biblical ideas? I don't find them there.

Where did you get that idea? Neither Genesis 1 nor 2 says anything like what you're saying. Is this your reasoning or the Bible we're discussing?
