Made in the Image of God: Understanding the Nature of god and Mankind in a Changing World
Synopsis "Made in the Image of God: Understanding the Nature of god and Mankind in a Changing World"
Made in the Image of God is a book that provides key concepts for understanding the nature and personhood of God and mankind, while providing deeper insights into how we as human beings relate to God physically, emotionally and spiritually in a metaphysical way, both now and in the future. Within this study, there are discussions on such topics as The Nature of God, The Nature of Mankind, The Trinity, and Jesus Christ as God and Man, while providing concepts that will help open the door to understanding God's revelation concerning himself, as revealed through the Scriptures. One reader commented: "After fifty years of being a Christian and doing lots of Bible study, this book gave me the clearest understanding of the Trinity and their interaction with me." Made in the Image of God is good resource material for supplementing studies in: Bible, Theology, Apologetics, Anthropology, Metaphysics or Philosophy of Religion.Book Excerpts"As I stated before, God never asks us to do anything that does not take place within the Godhead. Remember the words in Scripture? "Children, obey your parents" (Ephesians 6:1), or "Wives, submit yourself to your husbands" (Ephesians 5:22, KJV), or "Husbands, love your wives" (Ephesians 5:25). These concepts come from God's personal examples, and more specifically, the Father's love for the Son and Jesus' submission to the Father." p. 90"In reality, mankind is still metaphysically in God's likeness, but God's image in mankind has been altered by sin. We can no longer duplicate or reflect God's attitudes as we once could do. That is, we can no longer be holy as God is holy. Our morality has been altered and no longer has the capability to duplicate or reflect God's image. So what is the answer? Can this image be repaired or made whole again? The answer is, YES! Mankind can be made into a new creature in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17), and the image mankind once displayed can be restored once again." p. 149
