The egalitarian and complementarian positions differ significantly in their approach to hermeneutics, and specifically in their interpretation of biblical history. Christian egalitarians believe that male and female were created equally without any hierarchy of roles. God created "both" woman and man in his own image and likeness. God made the first couple equal partners in leadership over the earth. Both were jointly commissioned to "be fruitful and multiply...to fill the earth...subdue the earth...and rule over it." At the Fall, God prophesied to Eve that one result of sin entering the human race would be that her husband would "rule over" her.
