The Created Man

The Bible is amazing -- it tells us of the creation but does not go into detail.  To think what had to be undertaken to form this world in perfect harmony with nature and beast, so that man can live and rule here, is mind boggling.  So, for us, the Word simply states God "created".

It has always kinda surprised me that God created all the animals of land and water and air,  and all the plants, to all have the ability to multiply.  They were all created male and female--except man.  Why?  God, Himself, tells us why:  "Genesis 1:26 Then God said,“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;... "    If God had a female companion, why would He not have created a female counterpart?  "Genesis 2:20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him."   God created a mate for Adam, in a way none other of His creation was created--from the rib of Adam.  

Going back to "Genesis 1:27  So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."  We are told that God created man in his image.  Then we are told he created male and female.  The female was not created in the image of God, but from man, yet still created by God.

We know there is only one God, "Isaiah 46: For I am God, and there is no other;  I am God, and there is none like Me, 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done,"  

So, what is Jesus, but the son of God born the son of man?  Much like the rib of Adam was used to create Eve, so was the Spirit of God put into the baby created in Mary's womb.  Jesus, born a baby, whose spirit was the Spirit of God.   We are created in the image of God and are His adopted children.  Jesus was born as the true Son of God--Spirit of the True Spirit of God.  We are told: "John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”   Most certainly the Spirit that is God is far beyond anything man can imagine!
