And God Said, “Let us make Man in our image.” It should be assumed that God, The Creator, was talking to Jesus, The Word of God, and to God’s Holy Ghost.
And together, they formed Adam, the first Human, from the dust, or dirt, of the Earth. They then turn their work into flesh and bone in their Image. Then God gave life to that body by putting a spirit in him.
God, like-wise, put a spirit in each one of us while in our mother’s womb where He Formed us and gave us life (Zechariah 12-1).
Without that spirit, the fertilized egg would have died, our mothers would have had a miscarriage, and we would not exist today. So yes, we owe our life to God Almighty, the giver of life!
From Adam, the first human being, whom God put to sleep, and took a rib, and made Eve from that rib, the Second human.
“And God blessed them, and God said “be fruitful and multiply” “and replenish the earth,” “and subdue it: and have dominion over” all.
“And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed,” Genesis 2:25)
They soon discovered shame when they ate fruit from the forbidden tree located in the center of the Garden of Eden. That was the first time humanity disobeyed God!
God’s punishment was swift, and He put them out of the Garden.
Some fifteen hundred years later, when Noah was about six hundred years old, Man had become so wicked, that it repented God that He had made Man on the earth. In Genesis 6:6, it says, “it grieved him at his heart.”
God kept his word and sent the Great Flood which destroyed all except Noah and his family, and God selected animals, to again replenish the Earth.
Again, God told them to “be fruitful and multiply’ “and replenish the earth.”
He did this knowing that they were going to blow it again!
Looking at America today, and the World, it is easy to see, that God’s view of Humanity now, is probably about the same, or even worst, than in Noah’s day. Back then, “God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually (Genesis 6:5).”
Now when God said do this, people rebel and do the opposite. God’s punishment will follow!
God said love your neighbor, and Jesus said not only love your neighbor, but also love your enemy. But now instead of Love, Hate abounds.
As predicted by Jesus some two thousand years ago, a vast majority of humanity has rejected God and His Word. So has our precious country, America.
Too many People do not know God. That is because we disobeyed God and did not follow his command to teach our children about his creation and his just laws.
Separation of Church and State is human garbage. It was never in the U.S. Constitution. The originators of the Constitution did not want the federal government to interfere with religious matters. They did not say to keep God out of schools and out of government buildings!
TEACHING ABOUT GOD SHOULD BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO BE TAUGHT! You see, like God Said, our mortal “life is like a breath of air,” very short and it is gone. When a human dies, the spirit that God put in us leaves the body and immediately goes to Heaven or Hell. Just the few who were born again, according to God’s Plan of Salvation, will have eternal life, and go to Heaven. All others will find themselves in a burning Hell.
There they will suffer until the Great White Throne Judgment. At that time their names will not be found in the Book of Life “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:15). The preceding verse says, “And Death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
In the lake of fire and brimstone, in the company of the Devil, and his followers, they will “be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Rev. 20:10).
So you should see why it is so important to seek God and follow his Word, instead of the word of those miseducated man, who is out there looking at rocks and saying those rocks are so many billion years old.
God said He created heaven and earth in six days and only speaks the truth. The Word of God is the truth. Believe God, not Man!
