Due to the questions you ask, it seems that when you quoted me, you may not have read this:
Try to understand this:
That we are male and female in the image of God says much about God’s purposes with us, His human creatures. We are created to reflect His own nature so that we may represent Him in our dealings with others and over the world He has made. Our goal is to fulfill His will and obey His word. Yet, to accomplish this He has established a framework of relationship. Male and female, while fully equal as the image of God, are nonetheless distinct in the manner of their possession of the image of God. The female’s becoming the image of God through the male indicates a God-intended sense of her reliance upon him, as particularly manifest in the home and community of faith.

The fact that eve was created female does not lessen or alter the degree of the image of in which God created her.
Seriously brother, why is it that you seem to be fixated in the "gender" of God? It really is a non-issue.
If you ask
me, they ought to change the name to
Blasphemy Foundations For Womanhood. In God's Word, God has often been called "He". God has
never been called "She". Take a closer look at Genesis 1:27:
"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them."
You can clearly see in the Word of God that before the semicolon, He is talking about making
man in His image. After the semicolon, He is simply stating that He created male and female. The "image" portion is set aside for
man only. The Lord elaborates further on how this is done:
"And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field;
but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.."-Genesis 2:18-23
The Good Lord wasn't
done laying down the Law on how subservient women shall be in this universe
either:
"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days."-Leviticus 12:1-5
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is
subject unto Christ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing."-Ephesians 5:22-24
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."-1 Timothy 2:11-14
Amen.
