All a sham?


And sham, in English, means a thing that is not what it's purported to be or to present something falsely as the truth.   

Now look: 

Genesis: 1, 26: Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 
27: God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 
28: God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth."…

This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 

Is the Mar Thoma church trying to recoup its much- eroded membership base with the women's lib (feminist) movement of the late 60's?
