Both indicate personality, moral, and spiritual qualities that God and man share (i.e., self-consciousness, God-consciousness, freedom, responsibility, speech, moral discernment, etc.) On the words "in our image, after our likeness" modern commentators have correctly observed, that there is no foundation for the distinction drawn by the Greek, and after them by many of the Latin Fathers, between (imago) and (similitudo), the former of which they supposed to represent the physical aspect of the likeness to God, the latter the ethical; but that, on the contrary, the older Lutheran theologians were correct in stating that the two words are synonymous, and are merely combined to add intensity to the thought: "an image which is like Us" (Luther); since it is no more possible to discover a sharp or well-defined distinction in the ordinary use of the words between and , than between and .

And Adam begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth"meaning that, as Adam was created in the image of God . It was thus sufficiently intelligible to primeval man, and remains to this day intelligible to us, as soon as we divest ourselves of the narrowing preconceptions of our modern civilization.

"And Noah," it is written in verse Genesis 8:20, "builded an altar." So God said, "let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Our. Those who embrace the theory that Eden lay on the Shat-el-Arab consider the Pison and the Gihon as mere branches of the stream formed by the blending of the Euphrates and the Tigris (or Hiddekel). The change of designation springs from distinct truths, not from different fabulists and a sorry compiler who could not even assimilate them. But there is more than this, though this be of exceeding interest; because we see with equal certainty and clearness why Jehovah-Elohim is introduced not before but here, and why man's becoming a living soul by the inbreathing of God was said here and not in the first chapter. As the crisis hour is approaching, the saying of which we've been warning, as man has carelessly lived as though there was no tomorrow, we're coming soon to the day when they'll be no tomorrow.

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil" So it was that the serpent envenomed morally the heart of the woman first, and then of the man. Leave out the fall; fail to keep it before you and test all with that in mind, and you will be wrong about every result. The reason why persons have found such perplexities, for instance) in relation to our Lord's, as compared with the Jews taking the passover and with the crucifixion, is owing to their forgetting that the evening and the morning were the first day, the second day, or any other. All right, if He then doesn't leave me alone, He's not respecting my choice. Six years they may go into slavery, the seventh year they are set free. This is the highest honor with which he has dignified us; to a due regard for which, Moses, by this mode of speaking would excite our minds. We have no ground, therefore, for transferring it to the style of the heavenly King. Then the earth is described as void and waste, and (not as succeeding, but accompanying it) darkness upon the face of the deep, contemporaneously with which the Spirit of God broods upon the face of the waters. Believers have constantly called it a "promise;" but it is not uninstructive to see that scripture never does. The most vaulting pride always has the deepest fall. And those instinctive abilities in the birds!I'm always fascinated by that little bird in Hawaii that goes up into the Aleutian chain in order to mate. Unto whom?

Because moral responsibility in relationship to Jehovah-Elohim comes in exactly where it should. Where, indeed, will they find that we were created after the image of the earth, or of angels? 3. Yet, wonderful to say, in the very announcement of judgment on the serpent, God, who had by the light of His presence compelled the guilty pair to come forth out of the darkness in which they had hid, or rather sought to hide God held out the first bright light of mercy, but mercy in the judgment of him who was the root of the evil. The recognizable part of Christ will be the prints of the nails in His hands and the print of the sword in His side. Others have spoken spoken rashly and wrongly.

He was upright, Ecclesiastes 7:29. That he should be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, to subdue it, and have dominion over the other created beings of God.And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb-yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

This accordingly is the ground taken, to which I refer as an instance of the perfectness of scripture, but at the same time of the profound and practical power of the truth of God. over the tame creatures, either for food, or clothing, or The infinite God, who created this universe and all the life forms within it remains unformed in our own mind. "The image is found in the type of relationship that was designed to exist between male and female human beings, a relationship where the characteristics of each sex are valued and used to form a oneness in their identity and purpose. The Creation of the World. The details are of the highest interest, more especially when compared with the predicted results in the latter day, where we see the same countries and nations re-appear for judgment in the day of Jehovah. This completes, then, the restoration of that order and fullness the absence of which is described in the second verse. Being the truth, whatever man discovers that is true will never clash with it. But it is the soul, the great soul, of man, that does especially bear God's image. It is very simply a measure for perpetuating the creature by God the Creator, in spite of imminent judgment. Chapter 1. This is the force of it. But inGenesis 2:1-25; Genesis 2:1-25, beginning with verse 4, where we have special position and moral responsibility coming to view for the first time, the compound term which expresses the Supreme putting Himself in relation with man, and morally dealing with him here below, is first used, and with the most striking appropriateness. And therefore God himself not only undertakes to make him, but is pleased so to express himself as if he called a council to consider of the making of him: Let us make man. Science may tell us more about Gods creation, but it does so from a viewpoint that is different from that of the Bible. I don't, I want God to leave me alone!" And this pattern of six and one, will be established by God throughout the history of His people, and interwoven into their whole culture.So we find everything is beautiful. Holmes and Parsons show, however, the omission of supplied in not a few MSS., whether by the translators or by their copyists may be a question. Every one of them is a perfect geometrical pattern, but no two snowflakes alike. Although we are a "little lower than the angels" it is the angels who have the job of ministering to the people who will inherit salvation. All evil is due to this as its spring; it begins with God as the object attacked or undermined. Does he have the form of a man, or of a woman, or both? The sixth day, as being the last, is distinguished above all the rest by the article - "a day, the sixth" (Gesenius, 111, 2a). Could they so made have carried themselves otherwise than is here described? It is God providing not for the perpetuation of the creature merely, but with marked completeness for sacrifice. In Assyrian the name for man is also adamu, or admu. We have to do with facts. Thus it is seen at once that, instead of these wonderful communications being merely earlier and later legends put together by a still more modern editor, who tried to make something complete by stringing together what did not aptly fit, on the contrary, it is the Spirit of God who gives us various sides of the truth, each falling under the title and style suitable to God, according to that which was in hand. Cyrus, "The Lord God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth" Ezra 1:2. This you can, if you will, verify in various occasions where scripture furnishes examples of the summary; as, for instance, in the beginning of Genesis 5:1-32, "This is the book of the generations of Adam." How perfect therefore is the intimation of scripture! I do not consider that its locality is so very difficult to ascertain in a general way as has been often imagined. Those who made the Pison to be the Ganges regarded the Gihon as the Nile. And they come and fly right into Hawaii, sometimes they get into severe storms, one-hundred, two-hundred mile an hour winds that blow them off course, but somehow they find their way right in.

Such is the very essence of a test for an innocent man. However this is merely by the way, for it is evidently a matter of no great importance in itself, save that we should hold the entire account of Paradise to be historical in the strictest and fullest sense. In any case it was mercy to confine the curse certainly earned by Ham within the narrowest limits, instead of extending it to all his posterity. First of all there was the creation by God both of the heavens and of the earth. Certainly he did not well. There is something striking in the introduction of the expression "and over all the earth," after the different races of animals have been mentioned, especially as the list of races appears to be proceeded with afterwards. All this is an added account. God's chief governing characteristic is self determination, so he created us with the capacity of self determination. The creation of the woman apart from the man (as no doubt every other male and female were made separately) would have been a sterile and unimpressive fact. Genesis 1:27. But what man would have thought it, or said it, if he had not been inspired? "Male and female" has to do in itself with the constitution of the creature, nothing whatever necessarily with moral relationship. Believers and unbelievers might agree on how nature provides humankind with food, but believers add something extra, because they see God working through nature. is, over all the beasts of the earth, as appears by comparing it The primitive condition is described too. In Genesis 5:1-32 we have the generations of Adam. "After His likeness". Does not Moses directly exclude all creatures in express terms, when he declares that Adam was created after the image of God? Genesis 1:26-28. Your eyes are picking it all up and sending all those messages into the brain. Alas! God saw His work, and behold it was all very good; i.e., everything perfect in its kind, so that every creature might reach the goal appointed by the Creator, and accomplish the purpose of its existence. When God made man, when Jehovah-Elohim breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, man had no knowledge of things as right or wrong in themselves. [Note: Gorman Gray, The Age of the Universe: What Are the Biblical Limits?] 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Now, as the Divine Being is infinite, he is neither limited by parts, nor definable by passions; therefore he can have no corporeal image after which he made the body of man. I don't intend to get into them. Let it suffice to refer to the great principle, remembering that the theatre of the ages or dispensations of God is the world since the flood. THE NEW AMERICAN COMMENTARY is for the minister or Bible student who wants to understand and expound the Scriptures. Countless years ago God, by his sovereign power and will, created the universe. #1 "Then God said,". God could introduce him, and could leave the heart to feel the rightness of saying no more about him than was necessary. On the contrary, we have all read these chapters in the Bible, and we may have read them as believers too, without seeing their immense scope and profound accuracy all at once. He had created everything that was needed at this point, and so that was the end of His creative act. (h) Tikkune Zohar, correct. The decay of animals is a law of nature established in the creation itself, and not a consequence of sin, or an effect of the death brought into the world by the sin of man. But in Genesis 6:1-22 we have a very solemn statement the apostacy of the ancient world. The sin began with utter disrespect to a father. And so we'll just go through finding out what it says and we'll leave the puny, little intellects to their discussions and arguments that are without profit or value to us. Gregory Nyssen has very properly observed that the superiority of man to all other parts of creation is seen in this, that all other creatures are represented as the effect of God's word, but man is represented as the work of God, according to plan and consideration: Let US make MAN in our IMAGE, after our LIKENESS. They are able to go down and each little root is a chemical laboratory. Further, we now hear of the garden that was planted by Jehovah-Elohim eastward in Eden, where He put the man whom He had formed. The teaching of Scripture, that death entered the world through sin, merely proves that the human race was created for eternal life, but by no means necessitates the assumption that the animals were also created for endless existence. "Where is Abel thy brother?" There was a trial of man in Eden, and he fell immediately: after that there was none whatever in the antediluvian world. And God set them in the heavens [the firmament, in the limitless space of heaven, the rachowq of heaven] to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. Forced to discover himself, Adam tells the humiliating tale: "I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself." This word involves "in germ" the doctrine of the Trinity. the cause of causes said to "`jod', he, `vau', he"; that is, to Jehovah, which is in the midst of the ten numerations. These are proofs of the evergrowing sway of man. Here again how observable is the transparent and self-consistent truth of scripture. "And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell." When the scientist tells us how rains falls or how grass grows, we do not contradict him by saying, But the Bible says God makes the rain fall, God makes the grass grow (Matthew 5:45; Matthew 6:30). It is the relationship of Noah which appears here. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth." 27 So God created man in his own image; he created him in the imag. A numerous lasting family, to enjoy this inheritance, pronouncing a blessing upon them, in virtue of which their posterity should extend to the utmost corners of the earth and continue to the utmost period of time. [Note: Bruce K. Waltke, "Reflections from the Old Testament on Abortion," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 19:1 (Winter 1976):8. Thus holy, thus happy, were our first parents, in having the image of God upon them. 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 thing that creeps on the earth.'. This, it is plain, was never lost; it abides, whatever man's state. If divine power separated the earth from the waters, why should it remain saturated? God has the capacity to reason, so He created us with the ability to reason. It may be well to glance at it just to show the importance of heeding the word of God, and all His word. But the perfectness of scripture is, I am bold to say, unimpeachable. This is important as an additional proof that Gods likeness and image belong to the whole species man, and could not therefore have been lost by the fall, as St. Augustine supposed. JANUARY 5 TODAY'S READING IN THE ONE YEAR BIBLE - GENESIS 11-13:4; MATTHEW 5:1-26; PSALM 5:1-12; PROVERBS 1:24-28 Commentary written and read by Pastor David K. MacAdam. They speculate; they give you ideas and very foolish ideas they often are. ((g) De confusione Ling. The insufficiency of their resources had been proved. The word light in Hebrew is "or". On the contrary, supposing there was but one writer of the book of Genesis, as I am persuaded is the truth of the case, it would not have borne the stamp of a divine communication if he had used either the name of Jehovah-Elohim in 1-2: 3, or the name of "Elohim" only in Genesis 2:4-25. The principles of God's nature are immutable. 1 In the a beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. )Gods rest after the creation of the first human couple signified not that he had become tired or inactive (for he continues to care for what he has created), but that he had brought his work to its goal. Gods plurality anticipated mans plurality. Of the trillions of snowflakes that fall every year, God just likes variety so much. In all pretended revelations it is not so. Hi, this is Pastor Ken. And when the pinecone dries, it begins to pop open, and the little seed falls free. (See The image of God below. But what characterises this scene is not the state in which man as such was this we had in Genesis 3:1-24 but what man did in that fallen state, and more especially what he did in presence of God and faith. Kisah ini pada pokoknya berasal dari tradisi Yahwista, kecuali Kej 26:34-35 (Para Imam). Who was God talking to? There is no one more miserable than the man who has no object before him. The two terms occur in the very same verse; yet is there not an evident propriety in each case? And this is what is referred to inJames 3:1-18; James 3:1-18, where he speaks of our having been made in the likeness of God. Christians, therefore, properly contend, from this testimony, that there exists a plurality of Persons in the Godhead. Genesis 1:26 is used by many Trinitarians to say that God is a Trinity because of the words "let us." Although this would be an acceptable way to understand God's saying if the plurality of God or the Trinity was defined anywhere else in the scriptures, God is never called three or three in one, but is always defined as one (John 5:44, 17 . The first and second verses make allusion to these well-known measures of time. And there Jehovah, accepting the sweet savour, declares that He "will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake. There was also a wonderful type of deliverance through Christ in the ark happily so familiar to most. You say, "oh, they remember the way they flew out. ], "Us" is probably a plural of intensification (see my comment on Genesis 1:1 above), though some regard it as a plural of self-deliberation (cf. Though man provides for neither, he has power over both, much more over every living thing that moveth upon the earth, which are more under his care and within his reach. In the statement given by Moses every minute point beautifully exemplifies the propriety of the word of God. 1. 11 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that . As they lost further density, the surrounding clouds of vapour gradually rose from the earth, producing a clear distinction between the oceans surface below and the ceiling of heavy cloud overhead (6-8; second day). Man was the pinnacle of His splendid super-structure, underlining the peculiar importance of man in God's economy, for man was to be God's representative on earth, crowned with his Maker . The Text of Genesis 1:26-28. Their goal is to alter our beliefs and cause us to align with them. He will withhold no good from those who walk uprightly; and there is no other way than Jesus Christ our Lord. In his purity and rectitude. Even for Adam, innocent as he was, life did not depend on abstinence from eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw . Genesis 2:1-3; Genesis 2:1-3, taking the Sabbath as the necessary complement of the week, and therefore going on with the preceding six days, not with what follows. Not merely with the elements of his body will he reappear, which is quite true, but besides he will reappear bodily in connection with a soul that never died. Genesis 1:26. It is the old familiar story, man tried and found wanting as always. 50:50. The seventh day was to be the day that we acknowledge God and give unto God, and we do it by resting. [Note: See John F. Kilner, "Humanity in Gods Image: Is the Image Really Damaged?" Now there is not really the very least ground for such an assumption. (86) But Augustine, beyond all others, speculates with excessive refinement, for the purpose of fabricating a Trinity in man. Hitherto, it had been said, "Let there be light," and "Let there be a firmament," and "Let the earth, or waters, bring forth" such a thing; but now the word of command is turned into a word of consultation, "Let us make man, for whose sake the rest of the creatures were made: this is a work we must take into our own hands." God speaks as the Creator-king, announcing His crowning work to the members of His heavenly court. That's gonna worry you, isn't it?But, oh, how marvelous is our God! 4 And God saw that the light was good. It is said that the name of the first river is the Pison, and of the other the Gihon. Evil conduct is that which makes manifest an evil state, and flows from it. Man was formed especially from the ground and given the breath of life from God. *Some have wondered why the serpent and Eve should be represented as saying Elohim ("God") in the temptation, seeing that everywhere else in the section the name employed is Jehovah-Elohim.
