Men is the plural for the male of the human species.
Biblical Origins
According to biblical literalism, Men were created by God on the 6th day of Creation, as told in The Book of Genesis.
The Bible on Men
Old Testament
The relationship between God and Men is tumultuous from the start. The first three men written of in Genesis are Adam, cast from Eden after eating fruit from the Tree of Knowledge [1] and Cain and his brother and victim Abel, the elder sons of Adam and Eve. [2].
New Testament
The New Testament states that man "is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."[3] It also says that women must not usurp authority over men because Eve, but not Adam, was deceived.<ref>I Timothy 2:14 [2]
