RE: [TruthTalk] The place of creeds in relation to truth

[Jonathan Hughes]

Hi Judy,   Yes the word ‘made’ is past tense but it is applied to a current situation for why one should not shed another person’s blood.  The author uses it to explain why murder is not right.  There is no logical reason for the author to refer to the image of God if it was no longer present.  This is a clear inference that the image of God continued in humanity after the Fall.  And of course, how could it not?  What God gives to us is not for us to let go of.   Jonathan   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Judy Taylor Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2005 12:12 PM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] The place of creeds in relation to truth     jt: Not sure what the point you are wanting to make is John.. but I'd like to remind you that the adverb here is past tense and a lot of water has gone under the bridge leading up to Genesis 9:6. from Genesis 1:26 when God made A&E in His image and after His likeness.    Remember also that God is a Spirit [John 4:24] and this is why we need to be Born of the Spirit before we are able to enter the Kingdom of God. By Genesis 6 following Adam's fall things had really deteriorated and God's patience had worn thin by Genesis 6:3 where he states "My Spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also is flesh, yet his days shall be 120yrs." (Genesis 6:3) - Does this sound like "God's image in man?"   On Sun, 2 Jan 2005 11:41:47 EST [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Genesis 9:6 (6) Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. A great scripture to the point I am trying to make. John     --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
