Adam's Original Wholeness
- Vallotton contrasts Genesis 1 and 2 to show Adam was both male and female initially and procreation was commanded early.
- He argues Adam had reproductive capacity before Eve, implying distinct purposes for male and female roles.
Manage Your Desires

- Learn self-discipline so your inner kingdom is clean and your outer life reflects purity.
Made To Complete Each Other
