Humans have been humans and reproduced naturally for 300,000 years or more as well as our primate ancestors and all evolving life, animals, plants and microbes reproducing very well for at least 3.7 billion years of evolved live.
Warnings such as this are of no consequence. In this mythical...
After Adam and Eve’s creation they did not know the significance of their genitals. They may be likened to very young children. Such children are not aware of the significance of their genitals and are not aware of their nakedness when unclothed. After they sinned, both became aware of their...
It does not state nor imply that. It was Adam & Eve and then also Cain & Abel--no one else is mentioned as it says: Gen 1[27] "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." The "them" only refers to those four.
I believe God had already made the angels in his image, and was letting the angels know that he was going to create man in that image and give man dominion over things here on this earth.
Once again there is a difference between being made in the image of God like man was; and actually being...
The image of God here seems to mean that we were made to rule over the earth and not to be a servant to the earth and the animals etc.
I think that "male amd female" means that both the males and the females are human, made in the image of God. The female is not a lesser creation.
I know Jesus was fully man. He was born for a reason in the likeness of Adam, a perfect man. For someone to have special gifts as Jesus did, there are surely those that would classify him in a 'god' status. It is also written that God said, "Let us make man in our IMAGE..." And they were to be...
OK, I see the post you are referring to, thank you for your response. Now here's something I was thinking about regarding the concept that God is three persons said to be one God all equal to the other --
Jesus is the image of God, right? Colossians 1:15 says this.
"He is the image of the...
ok, will do, but I was thinking also of this scripture at Genesis1:26, when God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping...
Mark,
The Son was made of a woman, made under the law. Galatians 4:4 So that body did not exist until it was born.
God created all things alone and by himself as it says in Isaiah 44:24. It's just that God had a plan. God created everything revolving around the Son. The Son was the...
A per the subject of the thread the Pentateuch is hard to sell in any form as historical set of books.
The following is response to Norman Geisler;'s argument for Old Earth Creationism. Old Earth Creationism is an attempt to synchronize Scientific evidence. It pretty comprehensive on the faulty...
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis1:26, KJV
I think Jesus chose "Son of Man" as his title as the concept from the Book of Enoch best represented who he was. Jesus didn't choose Messiah because he wasn't the Jewish Messiah, however he realized that his followers wouldn't see him in any other way except the long anticipated "deliverer". So...
Yes, checking my sources, I'll need to reword my previous reply. What's clear in the NT is that while Jesus identifies with the Son of man (a title for a human in the Tanakh except twice in Daniel where it stands for God's agent, as here) but repeatedly using the phrase instead of "I" in...
Groan….!!!! Sigh….!!! Not this again!!!????
It’s late in the evening here in the uk and I’m nearly ready for bed. Please excuse me if the thought of answering you with over-trodden reality doesn’t appeal to me right this moment.
I tell you what, though… let me put it in a nutshell:
God uses...
In Deuteronomy 32 the language originally said that the nations were assigned by El according to the number of his sons and daughters, which fits perfectly with the statement that Israel is Yahweh's inheritance or portion. Yahweh was just another one of El's sons in the old polytheism of Israel...

In Genesis1:26-27 God says, " 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.' So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
Who or what does the 'us' refer to in this passage?
