The Philosophy Of God 's Creation

He wanted to build creatures that are capable of recognizing him, serving and loving him and this is when the world was created. And he created this to show the unity of his essence through his unity in his works. God “wanted to choose a subject to be a work of his own, which was unique, singular and unlike any other; rare and surpassing all the other works of his hands.” (pg 111). This subject would have a perfect relationship with God and a perfect relationship with his own unity. This is all known as the mystery of the Incarnation. Out of all the different natures God choose human nature to receive his greatness. He chose only one and that is the “Son of God”. Jesus is stated as a world. We adore in Jesus the “unity of a divine person” who exists in two natures and who serves the supreme unity of the divine

The creation

Gen (2) revealed the formation of mankind from the dust of the ground Adam was made to take care of the land. Then God thought man should not be alone and form Eve from one of Adams Rib first to help him take care of the living creatures take care of the earth and obey the laws that were given to them, by being fruitful and multiple the earth as well as taking care everything on earth. (Gen 2)

When you look around and gaze at the beautiful creation before you, do you reflect on how amazing God is? God made the creation, man, and everything surrounding the two. There are many different worldviews. This paper will focus on the Christian worldview. The Christian worldview involves God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration.

“In the day when God created man, he made them in the image of God.” -Genesis 5:2 (OI).

In presenting the gospel to Hee opening my Bible to Genesis 1:1 it says “In the beginning God

In his book God Behaving Badly David Lamb examines difficult texts in the Old Testament and tries to answer the hard questions that arise from those readings. In my own examination of Lamb’s God Behaving Badly I will look at a few of the- questions and difficult texts that I found most interesting. Specifically, I will examine Lamb’s response to God 's anger, apparent lack of concern for race and genocide, and violence in the Old Testament, and I will offer my own response.

What does it mean to be created in the image of God? This question has haunted humanity for thousands of years. If we were created in His image then how exactly did we fall. The first section of the text speaks to this very question by conducting an analysis of the creation account in the book of Genesis. The text begins by noting that the creation of man was intentional and specific. Man was not an afterthought or accident. In face scripture states that man was “very good.” Scripture also notes that the creation of man was not an evolutionary event, given that this theory would deny the formation of man from the dust and the breath of life that was given by God specifically for man.

In the Beginning: At the beginning of the universe. God created heaven and earth in six days and rested on the seventh. During those six days God spoke to the darkness and created the world, brought forth light, created the sky, land and animals and plants to inhabit them. However, even during this creation he was contemplating the creation of a being made in his own image.

As Genesis is the first book of the bible and verses 1:1-2:3 are the first accounts, it is essential that the story that proceeds be examined. What is then discovered is another account about creation. This creation story is similar to the first account but it can be seen that God ‘is not working to a pre-planned strategy’ , this then ‘hints at a measure of vulnerability in the Creator’ in the second creation account which is a stark difference to the first story of creation where God is viewed as ‘is a king who does all things well: in his own judgement, it is 'very good'. He alone is responsible for creation: his voice alone is heard; he consults no one for wisdom or advice’ . Incorporating the world behind the text and the world of the text we are able to get a more cohesive experience about what the story is telling us, in this case what Genesis 1:1-2:3 is actually referring to. The tools used to analyse the text allows the audience to develop greater insight about the purpose of the text, it also allows the audience to change their previous viewpoint with integrated gained depth and

After each friend desert Everyman and he is moaning and wondering who will go with him, he calls upon Good Deeds whom he finds on the floor weak. Good Deeds is weak because Everyman has made very few good deeds in his lifetime. Good Deeds calls on her sister Knowledge to help Everyman go on his journey.

The first five chapters of Genesis provide not only historical information about Creation, the Fall, and the first generations of mankind, but they also describe God’s attitude toward His creation and towards sin. These chapters also provide insights into the nature of man. For example, we learn from Genesis 1 and 2 that we have been made in the image of God. This means that humans have authority, value, and purpose because God possesses these traits. The first four chapters of Genesis give us insight into how each of these traits specifically apply to human life and society.

The Bible teaches that God’s longing to redeem the world has always been His desire, but sinful man has refused God’s grace. The appeal to man to turn from his selfish ways dates back to the Old Testament and is clearly displayed in the actions God puts into place with Abraham and the formation of the nation of Israel. These activities are evident in Abraham and the nation of Israel through promises made, examples to show His glory, and Israel’s comparison to the Church today. Promises Made In Genesis, God promised blessings to Abraham that would carry to his descendants (Gen. 12:2-3 [NASB]).1 Through these blessings, one man and his family would benefit the whole world and begin a “process of ingathering” from the darkness and disintegration

In the beginning of the Bible in the Book of Genesis, it is revealed to use in 1:26-27 that God has created man in his image. The text verbatim states “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” From this distinct text we can clearly conclude that when ad created man and woman, they were destined to be in God’s image and carry his image throughout his creation. Today we can see that many of us do not live in God’s image due to society becoming more secularized as it progresses through the years, however as Christians we can verse this by living in God’s image in our chosen vocations, churches, and even in the
