It’s 200 years since Darwin’s birth. Many believe in evolution because they do not want to accept the alternative – God the Creator. If evolution is true then human life has no purpose or meaning. The truth is that man was formed in the image of God... made to have fellowship with God. A message to men...

I have recently written a book on the subject “The Image of God.”
ReplyDeleteThe Book is called The Image of God in This Generation, and is available at Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, booksamillion.com, and most other bookstores. The book deals with God as an unchanging God and how we in this generation and every generation can be in his image.
According to the Bible, the only humans who were created in the image of God were Adam, and Eve. The son of Adam and Eve, Seth, was said to be born in the image of his parents.
Adam and Eve being born in the image of God had nothing to do with being human (for God is not human, but God is spirit). The image of God spoken of in Genesis is the Sinless nature of God. Adam and Eve were created without Sin, just as God is without Sin.
When Seth was born, he was born to sinful parents. By the time Seth was born, Adam and Eve had sinned, and Seth thus inherited the sinful image of his parents.
Nowhere else, and about no one else does the bible use the term image of God. Only Jesus who is God was born in the image of God. We however do become more like the image of God the more we obey him.
I am reading a book called: THE IMAGE OF GOD IN THIS GENERATION: serving and worshiping and unchanging God.
ReplyDeleteWhat Adam, Eve and Jesus had in common is that they were all created without sin, and without the desire to sin.
Adam and Eve were flesh and blood, and God is spirit, so the image of God in man cannot be flesh and blood.
Adam and Eve ate from a tree to sustain their lives, God needed no such tree, and so the image could not be true immortality.
Jesus who was in the image of God was in everyway human: He got tired, He thirst, he bled, he had flesh and bone, the only difference between Jesus and us as humans: Jesus never sinned, nor desired to sin.
