God Created Man In His Own Image

Good Morning to everyone. I would like to look at two verses from the book of Genesis, the first verse is Genesis 1:1-2a, which reads

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.

The second verse is Genesis 1:26-27, which reads

26 Then 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 thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

I'm not a rocket scientist but I know what I know and that is that God himself created the heavens and the earth, along with man in his own image. I also believe that God stretched his great big arms around in a circle and found that it was empty, there was nothing in it no one to talk to or no one to help in times of trouble. This is why God created the heavens and the earth, along with man. Lets look at man for a minute, when Adam was created, he was the only person on the earth at the time. God new that it was not good for Adam to be alone, so he created Eve in his image, and they both communicated with God on a daily basis, by having communion with his creation God was not alone any more. God's image is one that he needs to be loved and respected with everything that he does or doesn't do, he also needs to have the communication from mankind, just like us humans need communication from other humans. We also need the communication that we have with God because of the shed blood of his son Jesus Christ, and I thank God for everything that he has done and will do down the road from now.

A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH

Good Morning to all of you, and may God Bless everyone that reads this post. I would like to give my interpretation of a future event. That event is everyone that is blessed by God living on A New Earth. The Bible reading for this event comes from Revelation 21:1-4 which reads like this. 1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."
Just imagine Satan locked behind bars, and everything that is on this present earth today, like cars, boats planes, houses, offices, warehouses, and anything else that man has made will be destroyed, and all that would be left is a new heaven with fresh clean air, and a new earth with Jerusalem as its capital and all around it will be forest, waterfalls, grassy planes, basically everything that God would put on his New Earth. Now we know how the new earth would look like, now lets look further, it’s the main street in Jerusalem and there are people lining up the street on both sides, like for a parade, but instead of a parade you have on lone person walking down the middle of the street, no body around him just the people on the sides yelling and waving at this one lone man, we find out that this man is Jesus himself, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus is waving back at everyone, when he stops, wakes over to the crowed and puts is hand on one persons head like he was looking for just that one person in all that crowd, Jesus says to this person come and talk to me, and this person joins him in the middle of the road. This person that Jesus picked from the crowd is no other then you, the reader of this message.
Ok lets look at this image again for a minute, you still have the same crowd, and Jesus just taking his time to walk down the middle of the street, no police officers, no body guards of any sort, just Jesus walking and waving to the people on the sidewalks. Jesus tells us he brings us peace, to me you cant get anymore peaceful than a scene like the one we have been looking at. I can’t speak for all of you but for myself I can’t wait to see that picture in person. Thank you Jesus.

Christanity and Politians

Life of a Christian and a politian are on a parallel path. Life is made up of both good and bad people, sometimes they start on one path and end up on the other path of life. I think of these pathes as a good path and a bad path. When I think of these paths I think that the good path has Christian morals, traditional values, and they are lead by Jesus Christ, another name for this path is the Conservative path of life. The bad life is just the oppisite, it has no morals of any type, every man is for them self, and there lead by Satan himself, another name for this path is the Liberal path.

In Christianity a conservative person uses the Bible for there guild, and a liberal person uses nothing to guild them but life itself. A liberal person wants to get rid of the Bible or rewrite it to fit the purpose of the liberal vules.

In politics a conservative person uses the US Constitution, which was written on Christian values. A liberal person wants to destroy or rewrite the constitution to fit his agenda.

I know that there will be people out there that would not agree with this post, but it is my personal observation on how the USA is going.

THANKSGIVING

Today's Bible Verse: Ep 5:20 - giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

I would like to talk to you today about the Christian holiday of Thanksgiving. For our purposes Thanksgiving started in 1621 with the first Thanksgiving feast between the Indians and the Pilgrims, where they gave thanks to God for all he has done for them. If you listen to modern day historians the Pilgrims gave thanks to the Indians for there help and not to God. I do believe that the Pilgrims first thanked God and then they thanked the Indians for there help and friendship.

The Continental Congress of 1777 wrote The First National Proclamation of Thanksgiving. George Washington wrote:

"FOR AS MUCH as it is the indispensable Duty of all Men to adore the superintending Providence of Almighty God; to acknowledge with Gratitude their Obligation to him for Benefits received, and to implore such farther Blessings as they stand in Need of: And it having pleased him in his abundant Mercy, not only to continue to us the innumerable Bounties of his common Providence; but also to smile upon us in the Prosecution of a just and necessary War, for the Defense and Establishment of our unalienable Rights and Liberties; particularly in that he hath been pleased, in so great a Measure, to prosper the Means used for the Support of our Troops, and to crown our Arms with most signal success."

The Liberal Politians of today are trying to take Christianity out of this country and out of Thanksgiving. The politians don't want to understand without Christian holidays like Thanksgiving they would not be in politics and The United States of America would not be The United States of America. Thanking God should be done everyday and not just once a year.

OMNIPRENCE

Good Morning to all of you.

My bible verse for today comes from Jeramiah 23:23,24 "Am I a god at hand, declares the LORD, and not a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.

God is bigger then all the universe, in Jeramiah we read that God fills heaven and earth. Knowing that our Heavenly Father is so big and all we have to do is talk to him, like we talk to other friends and family, this makes my blood warm up everytime I think of how big and awsome God truly is.

Now in closing I want to add something about the word Omniprence God - one that is bigger then the universe but is always around when we need to talk to him, What a awesome God, he is.

Have a Good day.

Human Soul

Genesis 2:7
⁷then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

From the book NELSON'S 3 IN 1 BIBLE COMPANION we read a definition of the human soul, "That which animates man; The living being; the self."

I would like to look at the soul as a gift from the living God, without our soul man would be either dead or in modern terms a human robot. I don't like to think of people as robots. As we read in Genesis 2:7 God breathed into man's nostrils, the breath of life. What God gave to man that day was man's living soul, without the soul we would be dead. I myself believes that the soul is more important then our bodies, because it what makes us all tick. If we all take care of our soul then that's what real counts in this world today, and not our bodies.

In my next post I would start showing how to take care of our souls.

God's Image

Genesis 1:26-27
²⁶Then 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 thing that creeps on the earth."
²⁷So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

I would like to look at this image of God for a few minutes. We all know that God created the heavens and the earth, at the same time he created man and women in his image. I want to compare God's image to man's image. I would compare God as our brain, as creator he has all the answers. Let's look at another verse for a moment:

John 1:1-2
¹ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was in the beginning with God.

In this verse John is talking about Jesus Christ, as being with God the father at the time of creatation. It also tells us that Jesus is God, with my comparison he is the physical being of God. Jesus physical body would be our body. And my last verse comes from:

John 16:7-9
⁷Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. ⁸ And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: ⁹concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;

In these verses John is talking about the Holy Spirit, as a helper to convict us of what's right and what's wrong in each of us. In my comparison, I would call the Holy Spirit our soul, because our soul is the one that knows from right and wrong. If we take all of these verses we see that we are made in God's image.

In my next post I would like to look at our soul, until then I hope all of you lives in God's image.
