Subject: Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? |
Bible Note: Yours is an interesting theory. However, I believe you will find that neither Adam nor Eve were ever in a mother's womb. Man being made in the image of God has nothing in the world to do with our physical bodies. God does not have a body. God is Spirit. Genesis 1:26 "*Our image.* This defined man's unique relation to God. Man is a living being capable of embodying God's communicable attributes. In his rational life, he was like God in that he could reason and had intellect, will, and emotion. In the moral sense, he was like God because he was good and sinless" (note at Gen. 1:26, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). John 4:24 (NKJV) "*God is Spirit.* This verse represents the classical statement on the nature of God as Spirit. The phrase means that God is invisible as opposed to the physical or material nature of man. The word order of this phrase puts an emphasis on 'Spirit,' and the statement is essentially emphatic" (note at John 4:24, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). |
