Who is Lower than the Angels? (Hebrews 2:6–8)

It is "man" because the lineage of mankind ("humankind," if you will) is rooted in Adam, not Eve. You will find man-beget-man lineages in the various genealogies given in the Bible in the various places as well, not woman-beget-woman lineages. You might be surprised to hear me say this, but it is our Creator who is gender-less, the Creator who "created them male and female," making "male" and "female" a creation of the Creator. Certainly the Creator of the universe did not have male sex organs! Now should we complete the gender neutrality exercise by not translating the original word as "God," since "god" is male and "goddess" is female? Perhaps should the new word be "Deity" for the next wave of politically/socially correct translations? The key is that Adam was created in the image of God; that's why we call him the "man," and would not refer to our Creator as "God/ess," or "s/he." This is what escapes "many people, perhaps most people." Eve was not created in the image of God. Eve was created from the man, who then called her wo-man ("ish-sha"), unlike how the male and female animals were created. But we are not animals, as the godless evolutionists would contend. Now, to the extent that she is also in the image of God, it is indirectly by virtue of being from the man. But it is a man's world, literally, Adam's world, as all humanity is "in Adam," and the godless, radical feminists hate this, as it speaks "male supremacy" and oppression to them. But man to woman maps to bridegroom to bride, which maps to Christ to church, so we, the bride of Christ, are assigned as "she" in the end anyway, acknowledge Jesus, the man, as head, and submit to him, not the other way around. The male and female, man and woman distinction is for a reason; "man" and "mankind" was never a "mistranslation." Although the much-hated scriptures about the relationship between a man and a woman in the New Testament speak about a woman being under a man, they also speak about the man loving the woman as even Christ loved us, offered up his life for us, and cherishes us; he does not "oppress" us. Beginning with the modern feminist movement of over a hundred years ago and continuing to the present gender identity crisis, you can see that the former preceded the gender identity crisis (by over a century). But perversions are introduced little by little, and now the new wave of translations haplessly accommodate the result. Way back when, you should have told your daughter, "Yes, it says 'man,' but girls and women also come from the first man God created, so are included in all the promises of God to mankind. In time, daughter, you will learn where written context distinguishes between a man and a woman, and where it refers to all of us who came from that one man Adam. But right now you are just learning the English language and just learning about the Bible."
