In The Image of God He Made Them, Male and Female He Made Them, Genesis 1:27

In The Image of God He made them, male and female He made them. Gen. 1:27

Dearest Heavenly Father, my beloved, You know my heart Lord. You know how much I love truth, and how much I desire to know it, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, even so help me God. You know I can’t bear to spread errors or lies. Just kill me if I am a liar. You know how deep You have taken me, and yet the full measure of truth goes so, so much deeper. We humans are so infinitesimally small in every way, and even we who know some truth are so very shallow in it. We barely scratch the surface of truth, origins, and comprehend-able knowledge. You Great God have so many things You could tell us, so many, so many. Secrets upon secrets upon secrets. Where would You begin? And yet You have begun, with the bible. And as great as it is, oh how little it is. So many many things yet to tell us. Oh my Lord, should I tell them this story? Is it a secret, or can I tell them? Please don’t be mad at me. I can’t bear that You will be mad at me. So I will write it, but I will not publicize it, in case You would not approve of that. Then if You want them to know it, You can make it public. But I know that they would not receive it anyway. Like Pharisees they would reject it because it does not fit into their preconceived notion of understanding. Like Pharisees they would demand a miracle to prove it was the truth. But it is something You have shown me, and as abstract as it may seem to be, it makes sense to me, and I feel compelled to express it while I still can. So please please please Lord, guide me to express it truthfully, and accurately. In Jesus’ Holy Name I pray, amen, amen amen.

As I have so often began my writings, I say again, where to begin, oh where to begin? Well perhaps the title has you wondering what this article could be all about? Or maybe you’re thinking, what does this heretic want to say this time? That is not a confession, but instead I speak facetiously, because in a way, similar to Christ saying, He knew what was in the heart of men; that is, human nature, so, I too know what to expect, regarding how even people in God’s church will not accept things that seem biblically foreign to them. Nevertheless, something inside of me compels me to express these thoughts, and the reader can consider them, and evaluate them for their worth, or not. It is always a choice. God said various times in Ezekiel, tell them, whether they hear or whether they won’t, for they are a rebellious lot. And I know we officially think that that statement is directed to the unconverted lot of the modern day remnant of Jacob, but I could contest that, but won’t right now since it is another subject. But the subject that I feel inspired to speak of in this article is very deep, and probably somewhat unbelievable, even though it will make complete sense to some. I must confess that I am always seeking to know more truths of God, and origins, all the time, and some scriptures just seem to bait me, in my desire to understand the deep things of God. Someone once said that Genesis 1:1 was not actually the most natural scripture to begin with to understand God’s Word from. They said that perhaps John 1:1-5 was a more foundational place to start, and then we could switch to Genesis 1. I think that would work well for this article as well. We’ll get to Genesis 1:27 soon enough, but let’s start with John 1:1-5, and sum that up. First of all, let’s consider why John started like that, (other than that he was inspired to). He was one of Christ’s closest friends, and disciples, (maybe His closest). By the time he wrote this, he had matured in Christ a lot, and already had some deep insights. He was one of three, along with Peter and James, that Christ had allowed to know Him even closer. But John’s writings are somewhat mysteriously written, and I could wish I knew exactly what he was intending sometimes. But here goes my summation of John 1:1-5. Please read it, to refresh it in your mind first though.
