Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;...
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:26-27
One member of the "Us" must be female if Eve was created in the image and likeness of God.

Hi,
Me-reminder: day 15, finish Proverbs 15.
Now,
Yes, us., there., if, it Refers to, just, God, then God The Father., Who is internally Trinitarian also, God The Son., Who is internally Trintarianly also, and God The Holy Spirit., Who is internally Trinitarian also, would be the content of that word us.
It is incredibly wonderful to me, that alone-ness, was an issue. 'It is not good for the man to be alone' was said, and we get to hear about that from God.
Only, when God made that, not a not-good., for Adam, He did not take more earth to do that.
He in fact, removed a part of Adam, not that all males are missing that part today, and made a person out of Adam.
Was that person, made lesser, in the image of God, than Adam? Yes to me. Yes she is lesser than Adam is to me in the likeness of God.
Wait. Wait.
He even called that person by a different name. Woman. Okay, that's lesser to me, in the likeness of God.
To me, I and all females, are lesser in the likeness of God, than males are.
To me.
I would think that way.
I do.
Wait.
God though in my life sets me straight, (gives me a correction to previously held wrong ideas) every once in awhile.
The Bible is great for correcting my errors, and infrequent trips to Proverbs A chapter a day in any form, but started here by
@Tishri1 , under permission or leadership by the owners of this whole CF thing, infrequent trips to reading a proverb a day, soon results in my knowledge and abilities changing to error and strife.
Biblically, on females, God sets my thinking there straight also, after I am up to speed, (6 months or more), from Proverbs, one a day, in Genesis, on females.
He also says, male and female I made them. Great, so I too, a female, am not lesser in the likeness of God, than males.
That is not negotiable anymore.
God said.
All of my thoughts now have to switch over to What God said.
And, I have no preference over being in the image and likeness of God, one way or another. Why?
Why?, for me. It is because, no matter how detestable and lowly and disgusting the creature may be to me, The Earth-Worm, one day I realized it may not be disgusting for., the earth worm, to be an earthworm.
Maybe, the various layers of dirt taste good to an earthworm. Maybe the soil layers feel wonderful on their skin.
Maybe it is wonderful for an earthworm, to be an earthworm.
I say. I say, God made it wonderful for an earthworm to be an earthworm., and as such no matter what I am to and with and for God, that too would be wonderful.
That, is why, I am not partial to what I actually am, in God's world.
That is why, I really do not care what I am in God's World, but merely accept what I am.
However, I am somehow equal to males, on my image and likeness of God.
LOVE,
