Posted : 10 Mar, 2020 07:10 AM Hi cake, Man was to represent GOD Almighty, but being like a shadow man cannot represent GOD Almighty exactly. A statue, or a photograph are a type of image or shadow. A shadow shows the outline of the person or object, but cannot exactly show who or what the person or object is. People that wear a cross with a man attached, they are wearing an image. Yashua exactly represents YHWH, as He is exactly as YHWH(Father) is. The Father is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent,as is Messiah, Yashua has the exact same character, attitude and personality as the Father. That is why Messiah can say, IF you have seen me, you have seen the Father. Post Reply

There is definitely a difference. How does the image and likeness of God differ from the image and likeness of beasts? Human beings have the capacity to reason. We can appreciate a sunrise or a sunset. We can reflect upon our existence and seek purpose. We can therefore set goals and work to attain those goals. It would appear from observation that beasts do none of these things, rather, they simply follow natural instincts. Therefore human beings, unlike beasts, have the opportunity to have a relationship with the Creator. For without the capacity to reason and the resulting ability to seek purpose, human beings would not be able to seek relationship. A dog may have a relationship with its owner but it is a relationship wrought of circumstance, not reason and choice. This is why a dog will be loyal to its owner irrespective of the character of the owner. The dog cannot conceive character or purpose and thus cannot conceive morality. A human being can. The importance of this, I believe, is in that we all make one of two choices in this life. CHOICE 1 To uphold the image of God through reason and a relationship with God. Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Jas 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. CHOICE 2 To forsake the image of God by rejecting the Light and giving oneself over to the lusts of the flesh and walk as a presumptuous, self-willed, natural brute beast, whom understand not. 2Pe 2:10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 2Pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; This is even clearer in my mind when we compare the "Mark of the Beast" (Rev 13:16-18) with the "Mark of God" (Rev 14:1-5). Look that up and think about it. Food for thought. Post Reply
