Yahweh created man first, then He created woman. The apostle Paul speaks of this in the
following passage:

I Corinthians 11:8-9
For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; for indeed man was not created
for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.

I Timothy 2:13
For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

Why was woman created? It was because Yahweh declared that it was not good for man to be
alone. He declared that man needed a helper. What was the chief thing man needed help with?
Man was created to do the works of God. He was created to look and act like his Creator.
Yahweh is a life-giver, and He intended man to also be a life-giver. Man could not bring forth
life on his own. Man contained the seed of life, for in man is the sperm of procreation. The seed
of life, however, needed a fertile and protected place wherein it might be nurtured and brought to
maturity. This place, by Yahweh’s design, is in the womb of the woman.

It takes male and female, working together, to bring forth life. In this way humanity conforms
itself to the image and likeness of God, for He is a life-giving spirit.

Advocates of homosexual behavior cannot change the fact that it takes a man and a woman
together to produce life. Two men engaged in homosexual intercourse cannot produce life. Two
women engaged in homosexual intercourse cannot produce life. Homosexuality, by its very
nature, is sterile. It is devoid of life. It falls short of being a true reflection of the image and
likeness of Yahweh.

That homosexual relationships are devoid of life is a profound truth that cannot be
overemphasized. Mankind was created to be a reflection of his Creator. Yahweh designed His
creation so that a man and a woman in a heterosexual relationship might bring forth life. This is a
fact that homosexuality cannot overcome. A homosexual male may have thousands of same-sex
partners, but his seed will never produce life. A woman in a lesbian relationship will never
become impregnated with life from her same-sex partner.

Homosexuality is often referred to as “the gay lifestyle.” This description is false. Homosexuality
