Good, Good, Good....Not Good

 In Genesis God creating things each day said, It is Good, and then suddenly he says in Gen 2:18, it is NOT GOOD for man to be alone.  

The question posed is, how is it not good?   Qualitatively or Ethically?   Was God saying merely that his work was incomplete, and needed improvement, or that there was something unrighteous about Adam being alone?

Dr.  Tackett argues that this statement is ethically not good because aloneness does not mirror the Divine social order.   We can see mentions of the Godhead saying, "Let us make man in Our image."   While God is well known in Hebrew, Echad, One, we know that in the New Testament Jesus reveals a Father, Son, Holy Spirit interaction with mankind.   

It was not that Adam was imperfectly made, it was that a method of demonstrating family to parallel the family of God had yet to be created.  Eve was not made a separate man, but out of the man she was made, to be Adam's companion.  The lessons here are deep, as Paul mentions God being head of Christ, and Christ being head of the Church.  Yet we also see the Church is many members.  The lesson here is not that every man needs a wife, it is that every person is not an island unto themselves.  We were made to reflect the community of the Godhead, and be a community of members together in so reflecting it.
