However, opposed to the secularist thoughts that we are yet negligible creatures, the bible lets us know that we are a unique creation, framed in Gods image. God created Adam in his image, giving him

In Genesis one and 2, it provides a full understanding of God’s creations and wisdom of human nature because it is free from evil. God created everything from nothing; to be perfect from his perspective. Human nature is revealed from Genesis one with God creating the Earth and the Heavens and creating the man of his likeness. The Bible explains how God created the man named Adam from the dust and was placed in the Eden’s Garden (Genesis 2:7). Adam helped God to take care of the land and all his creation. The Bible explains, Humanity was created to work and serve, keep the garden (Genesis 2:15). Subsequently, Eve was created; “God had created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Adam and Eve would help God because He wanted them to multiply the Earth by taking care of his creations (Hiles & Smith, 2014). God is the sovereign ruler which he created humanity as how he should have wanted. The Bible explains about human nature that God created everything to be distinct from animals and all His creation. Humankind is able to show on our nature because we are capable of reasoning. God created all differently and we were all born naked and pure as Adam and Eve were. God created in his own image that why we all look different; we are unique in His eyes. Also, God created us to be good because we are born innocent of all evil and loving God.

changes, “The biblical claim that humans have dominion over creation has shaped the typically western “instrumentalist” view of nature: that the natural world exists solely to meet human needs.” In part this statement is true. God told Adam to work in the field and that earth will feed him. This somewhat translates into a belief of modern Christians that nature was created for them as a toll and mean of survival.

In Genesis one and two, it provides a full understanding of God’s creations and wisdom of human nature because it is free from evil. Human nature is revealed from Genesis one with God creating the Earth and the Heavens and creating the man of his likeness.

God created us in his own image, which is why we all look different; we are unique in His eyes. Also, God created us to be good because we are born innocent of all evil and loving of God. In addition, we were all born pure as Adam and Eve were. The Bible explains that God was pleased with his creations, “God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:10-21).

The biggest point that is revealed about human nature from the first two chapters of Genesis is that humans are made in the image of God. This is seen within the creation narrative since everything that God made was good which included the humans. Also, it is because of their original human nature being in the image of God as to why humans are viewed as being the pinnacle of creation, as shown since they receive the most attention of all of the parts of creation (Diffey, 2015).

As opposed to the humanist view where we are nothing more then an highly developed animal, the Bible teaches us

And livestock. He then created human beings in his own image. He gave them dominion over all of the creatures in the waters and sky, as well as all of the animals. He also tells humans that he has given them all of the plants and the trees for food. After creating everything, God, recognizes verbally, that they are good. This shows readers that God is a good God. The second chapter of Genesis is very similar in that all of the same things are created. When God created man Genesis chapter two states that “He breathed the breath of life into Man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.” (Genesis 2:7). God put man into the Garden of Eden.Here in the Garden of Eden is the first mention of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God states that man can eat from any tree except that specific one. Genesis 2 also states that man was made to work the land, proving that work was not a consequence of sin. God also created woman from man when he realized that man was not fit to be alone. He tells them to reproduce, this proves that sex was not intended to be shameful, rather a gift to be cherished when done within a covenant. This is how the earth and everything on it came into existence according to the

Now that there is sun, sky, dry land, vegetation, day and night, God goes to work creating what we today would refer to as living creatures. On day 5 God creates living creatures in the water and winged birds to fill the sky (Genesis 1:20-23). Then on day 6 God creates livestock, creatures that crawl, and all wildlife (Genesis 1:24-25). It is also day 6 of creation when God says “let us create man in Our image according to Our Likeness” (Genesis 1:26, HCSB). The words “Us” and “Our” brings to the forefront the Triune God, living in perfect harmony as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The ordering of God’s creation is perfect to not only give us humans the most beautiful playground ever imagined, it is also well thought out, orderly, and made perfectly to sustain

The story of creation begins with Genesis 1 and 2, it explains how the world and it’s living inhabitants were created from God’s touch. From Genesis 1 we see how the sky, seas, land, animals, and mankind were created. However Genesis 2 focuses more on the first of mankind, known as Adam and Eve and how they are made to be. In this paper I will compare Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 and what the main idea for creation is in each one, however in my opinion there is no contradiction between the two. Genesis 2 merely fills in the details that are "headlined" in Genesis 1.

Human being and non-human creatures should participate together in God’s creation (Johnson). God created the world “for life together”, and “the structure of existence-in-community” represents “God’s own life in triune communion” (Migliore, 108). The Scripture proves that nonhuman creatures are company with human beings, as well as both of them cannot be separated from each other. In Genesis, God says “good” after created the each group of creatures. God says “very good” when the entire group together (Migliore, 101). The creatures are coexisting and interdependent among themselves (Migliore,

Integral human development also asks difficult moral questions for all to get a perspective from the side of the poor and the victimized. Pope Francis brings up a good argument when stating, “We need a conversation which includes everyone, since the environmental challenge we are undergoing and its human roots, concern and affect us all” (Francis, 14). Pope John Paul II has a depiction of the exercise of solidarity similar to that of Jean Vanier. “The exercise of solidarity within each society is valid when its members recognize one another as persons” (John Paul II, 39). Jean Vanier in The Vision of Jesus, provides a rational depiction of the Christ’s view between the powerful and powerless. This is the lens that is provided on what we should

In the book of Genesis when it speaks of man being made in the image of God, what is seen is that just as God created the earth, we can give form to the formless. We can make a date with another, and we can plan to do something at a certain time. Humans unlike any other creature can describe an exciting experience, or tell a scary story. Through speech we can say, "I don't know," which is the first step to gaining understanding and knowledge. Humans are more than just mere creatures of nature because of the art of remembering, recalling, and through language either written or spoken.

I selected The Creation of Adam for this paper because of its popularity and I have seen it in many places. In church, my

At one point in time God mandated man and animal to eat solely from the earth. Perhaps in one of the western world’s oldest and most influential and powerful texts, there was reasoning for the implied notion of equality. He creates man and woman at a synchronized point in time, on the same day he creates all other earthly creatures again at the same time. He gives the same instructions and blessings to animals as he does to man and woman he says, “God blessed them saying, be fruitful and multiply”(Genesis, 1:22, 28). He also instructs both man and animal that the earth is a food source for all. The text implies that animal and human are created and instructed in an analogous fashion, as equal inhabitants of the earth, similar to the ideal against speciesism, that all of God’s creatures or earth inhabitants desire the equal right to life.

First, the earth is God-given to the people. It is given to all of mankind, as is, to share, as a means of support, nourishment, sustenance, and life. It is given freely and is a gift to one-and-all alike. Each has an equal right to the resources and natural elements of the lands. Not knowing God 's full plans for mankind, man expands on these gifts from God, and in doing so, further increases his service to God.
