    August 20, 2015 at 4:36 pm In my Aug.17 post I failed to mention in a secondary way tsela is “side.” So it ,indicates secondarily as to where was her ‘exit’ -she was removed thorough Adams’ “side.” It says literally the ‘feminine one'(was named isha feminine male or one-and then formal name Eve-mother of all living) was taken from the inside of Adam-through or via his ‘side.’ Recall it says ‘Their ( pl.) Name (sing.) was Adam (sing.) when or in the day they (pl .)were created.’ Gen.5:1-2 God created Adam with Eve in a mysterious way was inside of him and both were in the’ image of God male and female.’ I believe Adam was quite large. It’s genetics and growth hormone that has created shorter, size and stature, etc. [...] Reply 18. Cliff (India) says: June 22, 2017 at 5:01 pm Just thinking out loud, but I am wondering if the original Man (Adam) could have been created with extra organs which no longer exist. God making man in His own image, implies that the man He created originally was at par (in flesh) with His own image and therefore had body parts superior to the man of today. Reply 1. Greg says: March 19, 2022 at 9:05 am Actually, Adam and his early offspring were smarter, stronger, and quite possibly larger than we are today. Think about it, Adam names all the animals, can a modern man possible do so? I think not. Reply 19. Ari DeLeon says: February 16, 2017 at 9:18 am
