| What was the point of Eve? |
"If", as Rob Bell writes in the final chapter of his excellent book Sex God, "marriage is meant to show people what the oneness of God is like, what happens when everybody is one in the presence of God?"
It is traditionally understood that there will be no marriage in heaven. Jesus makes this clear when asked about a woman whose husband dies, and then the next, and then next... until finally she has married seven brothers. Who is her husband in heaven? None of them, because there will be no marriage (see Matthew 22:23-30, Mark 12:18-25, Luke 20:27-35).
So, I ask: what was the point of Eve? If Adam had all he needed from God, then why did he need Eve? |
