Man In God's Image

So to  continue with the last posting, just what is man-- I shall say this..it was on the sixth day of the creation account man was created. It was the same day the animals were created, the beast of the field after their kind along with the cattle after their kind and the things that creep on the ground after their kind. But man was created special. God brewed into their nostrils the breath of life . Formed man of the dust of the ground. Gave him the image of Himself. Made him at creation a living soul. GAve him submission over the animals and the rulership. It seems He wan ted man to rule with Him and control the earth.

Something happened. They disobeyed God when God told them about that tree they were supposed to eat the fruit of. ( it may be a symbol, but I am not ready to talk about that just yet.)
They lost, not the image of God. We still have that. They lost for all mankind the likeness.
But God so loved His creation that He had a plan. I will talk about that later.
For those of  you who like reading more about this or would wish to explore other books, I will have a link in the banner Here.
Enjoy the exploring.

What Is Man?

Again we make a turn. There is so much that I can share and I can write on. Earlier in these postings I did a series on Bible study methods. It seems the ABC system is being well received.
And many other subjects through the years have been handled. For this series I would like to return to discussing major subjects handled in the Bible.
The book of Psalms chapter 8 verses states: "When I consider Your Heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained; what is man that you take thought  of him.."
No, I don't wish at this moment to unlock creation. Instead I wish to start to unlock us. MAN.
Just what are we? Are we, as the secular  says, a product of time and chance?  And is so, why do we feel there is something different about us?
Perhaps we are a special creation of a being greater than us.
Maybe in the beginning God created us male and female and put us in a place known as Eden. Maybe this being greater than us, and uncreated being beyond time and space limitations, wanted to fellowship with us.
That would make man different from the animals and the plants and other things.
Let us call this being God. One greater than we can conceive.
If this is so, man is special and asking what is an that you (God)  take thought of him is a very important question to ask and answer.
In the postings to come I hope to explore this deeply.
I feel enough has been started here for you to consider.
