The Creation

The reading in preparation for the second class was the first few chapters of Genesis. This lesson went over the creation and the creation of Adam and Eve; furthermore, agency, the right and ability to choose, was discussed.
The creation of an Earth for Man to abide on is crucial for our life. Adam and the Lord were mostly known to be involved in the creation of the earth; otherthan, the verse in the writing of Abraham in Chapter three of his book number 22 says: "Now the Lord had shown unto me, Abraham, the ^aintelligences that were organized before the world was; and among all these there were many of the ^bnoble and great ones;"
A glue-in given to us quotes from the writing of Bruce R. McConkie, concerning the Creation of the Earth and Adam.


We know that Jehovah-Christ, assisted by “many noble and great ones” (Abr. 3:22), of whom Michael is but the illustration, did in fact create the earth and all forms of plant and animal life on the face thereof. But when it came to placing man on earth, there was a change in creators. That is, the Father himself became personally involved. All things were created by the Son, using the power delegated by the Father, except man. In the spirit and again in the flesh, man was created by the Father. There was no delegation of authority where the crowning creature of creation was concerned. (Promised Messiah, p. 62)


With Fathers personal involvement in creating his beloved child to have a mortal body, he modeled the creation of Adam after his spirit's imagine. Our tangible body is how we have always looked in the spirit world when we were raised in the presence of God the Father before mortality. Doctrine and Covenants 77:2 references to this truth, being explained to us by Christ himself in an inquiry about parts of Revelation of John.
The Earth was originally created without the opposition in the world of hot and cold; barren and fruitful; and decay and preservation. Only perfection existed; however, I see a couple things that existed as opposites as the following: the voice of Satan and the light of Christ, and the Tree of Life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Only with opposition can we learn and be able to chose. Adam and Eve had one chose; although, he chose the names of all the animals and his wife. On way I understand how the mind works is that "man could not ^bact for himself save it should be that he was ^centiced by the one or the other." 2 Nephi 2:16 There are only two sources of enticing from God and Satan. We can simply recognize the source and whether it is good and bad. Before I move on to the second topic of the creation of Adam and Eve, Lisa Muirhead shared a children's book with the class called Finding the Green Stone by Alice Walker. 
Its about a world, which has humanity blessed with a great gift. This gift is a green stone. The green stone is shines according to the light of one's righteous choices. The main character is a boy that lost his green stone because he was unrighteous, lacking the understanding that the lose of one's green stone represents his character. The boy cared to have the stone though, searching diligently for it, for it was a cherish item of his community. The community even helped as most of the community knew that he can obtain the stone and the light thereof, if he changes his unrighteous character to embrace integrity. Not until the child learned of his errors did he find his stone, and the entire community rejoiced in his revelation.
After the creation of man, the father said "And I, the Lord God, said unto mine ^aOnly Begotten, that it was not good that the man should be ^balone; wherefore, I will make an ^chelp meet for him." I will conclude with two final glue-ins. They speak of 'an help meet for Adam,' and the relationship he had with Eve.


The distinction between "help meet" and "helpmeet" (or "help-mate," as it is sometimes referred to) is crucial to proper understanding of the roles of husband and wife. "Helpmeet" means "helper" or "assistant" and is often interpolated to mean "of lesser status." "Help meet" means "help that is vital for him." "Meet" means "necessary," "vital," "required." (see D&C 58:26)

Thus, God created a vital help for Adam, a companion of equal status to work with him and he with her. The equality of husband and wife is clearly taught in the Proclamation on the Family. The First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve stated (bold added for emphasis):


 By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.


President Howard W. Hunter taught the following about the proper relationship between husband and wife (bold added for emphasis):


"A man who holds the priesthood accepts his wife as a partner in the leadership of the home and family with full knowledge of and full participation in all decisions relating thereto... The Lord intended that the wife be a helpmeet for man (meet means equal)—that is, a companion equal and necessary in full partnership."
