 The picture of humanity described in Holy Scripture is one in which men and women share sameness as well as difference. They are, in this sense, complementary to one another. In order to fulfill their God-given purpose to fill and subdue the earth, men and women partner. Both are required. In fact, in sameness and difference, we are like the God whose image we bear. Because, as revealed in Scripture, God is Trinity. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit share the sameness of the Godhead with difference in persons.
