Could also be an 'advocate' in some cases.Sudsy wrote:"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." - John 14:26JimFoxvog wrote:I've heard this idea countered by pointing out that God is also described as our helper.ken_sylvania wrote:God did say he was going to make a help suitable for Adam. The idea of a helper seems to carry a subordinate role.

We would hear that God created a help meet (or suitable) for man. I think this would support the idea of someone to come alongside, not necessarily subordinate.
