Sunday Twists S1E8_Made In what_ unraveled 😌
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">If the statement "I'm made in God's image" does not include God in your questionable dance moves and "Let us create man" does not mean God talking to Himself in the mirror, then what was going on? Welcome to Sunday Twists 😌 again.... Last week..... A lot of Rhema was just dropping... Thanks to everyone who contributed 🎉... I'll love to make this as short and direct as possible.</span></p><p><br/></p><blockquote>BEING MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE. First of all, let's establish that God is Spirit, so that means "the image" does not refer to physical body parts because there are no arms, eyes, etc., to replicate. (You might be catching on now). We might have seen instances in the Bible like Isaiah 59:1: "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear," and this might seem contradictory, but these are simply anthropomorphic expressions (terms used to explain the Godhead by using human elements).</blockquote><p><br/></p><blockquote>So, in a very summarized form, what we solely replicate as God's image is His Spirit. God is Spirit operating as the Trinity - God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Man, in this dimension of image, is a tripartite being, made up of the spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23 – read it to prove me wrong 🥲). The spirit of man is what we use to relate and connect with God. The soul consists of the mind (intellect), emotions (feelings), and will (the discernment of choices).</blockquote><blockquote><span style="background-color: transparent;">In a nutshell, Man is a spirit who possesses a soul and lives in a body. There is also the intellectual and moral part which we possess just as God does. This includes Wisdom, Truth, Righteousness, and others.</span></blockquote><p><br/></p><blockquote>“LET US CREATE MAN” — WHO IS THE ‘US’? This phrase has stirred debate for centuries. One view understands the “us” as a divine conversation within God Himself; it is a hint of the Trinity — Father, Son, and Spirit in unity. Another view sees God addressing His heavenly council, the angelic host, but this would definitely not be as co-creators, but as witnesses to His creative act.</blockquote><p><br/></p><blockquote><strong>WHAT MATTERS MOST IS THIS: <br/></strong><strong><em>Creation was not accidental or solitary. Humanity was formed through intentional divine counsel, not impulse.</em></strong></blockquote><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
