Hi Lionstrong, I think you made some excellent points. Man is unique in God's creation. Would you agree with the idea that it was the spirit that God created man with that sets him apart from the rest of creation? Love in Christ, Mark |

2 | Isn't the main point volition | Gen 3:1 | Lionstrong | 154035 | ||
Matt 10:28 "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Gen 2:7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being ("living soul" KJV). Hi Mark, It is the KIND of spirit that God created man with that sets him apart from the rest of creation. Man's spirit, the breath God breathed into man's body and into no other creature, is a unique spirit. Man's spirit is the image of God. Man's spirit is a rational mind which the animals do not possess. It is not that we have spirits and the animals do not. It is that our spirit is the image of God and therefore rational, and the animal spirits are not. So, I agree with the wording of your question, though you may not have meant it that way. "Was it the spirit that God created man with that sets him apart?" Yes, Man was created with a rational spirit after the image of God. The spirits of animals were not created this way. And they do not think; they are not rational; they are not personal. |
