Mankind is Made In God's Image

from Accidental Bible Scholar Hosted by Jeff Ward

Jeff Ward and Randy Spear open the creation of man in Genesis 1:24–2:4. Animals are made according to their kinds. Man is not. “Let us make humankind in our image…so that they may rule.” Psalm 115:16 and Psalm 8 put the earth under human authority. Because God spoke creation into being, our words also carry power, for life or for condemnation. People are missing from the dominion list. Leadership is required. Domination, manipulation, and control are not, and he calls them witchcraft. Genesis 1:28 adds fruitful, multiply, fill, and subdue. Increase is expected, not optional. Seed and fruit were food before the fall. Roots, leaves, and meat come in Genesis 9, after the flood. Creation is finished on day six and called very good. Day seven is rest. They pause before Genesis 2:7.
