Questioning the first chapter of Genesis: 1:26

1 Since God said "we", then God (Jehovah) is not the only God? It implies the truth of the trinity. There is a trinity theory in theology, which talks about the God in the Bible. God is a Trinity God, and the Father (Jehovah), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit (Protector) are all gods. The father is not the son, and the son is not the holy spirit, but it is not three gods, but one god. This god is a trinity. /%B6% cfed% cc% EC% CA% B9/blog/item/A6AEBDF38B63F65D342Accc4.html2 Since God created man in his own image, he created both men and women, so is God a man or a woman? God can be a man for a while and a woman for a while, and he can change at any time. In Genesis 1 of the Old Testament, verses 26-27: "God said: We will make man in our image and in our likeness, so that they will rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the livestock on the earth, and all the crawling insects on the earth. God created man in his own image, but he created man and woman in his own image. What does "image and style" mean in scripture? Because it involves the interpretation of scripture, we quote Mr. Qiu Enchu's explanation in China Scripture Annotations (Christian Literature and Art Publishing House, first edition, 1992.7) and Genesis, volume II, page 107: "The original meaning of an image is the original idol, image or portrait. So it is easy to be misunderstood as the shape of god and man. . . As for style, its original text is abstract verbs (verbs used as nouns or adjectives), which are mainly used in abstract forms, such as appearance, similarity and similarity. . . The author is concerned about the difference between man and other creatures, because man has the "image" of God. However, the addition of "style" in section 26 is to ask people not to interpret this "image" as a concrete image. On the page 159 of "A Hundred Lessons of Bible Truth" (first edition, Morning Star Press, 1992.4) written by Mr. Alban Douglas and translated by Mr. Liu Yuhan, it is explained more directly: "The image of God does not refer to the style of the body, because God is a spirit, and the spirit does not have various parts and feelings that people have. . . We know from the Bible that he means knowledge, kindness and holiness. It refers to moral style rather than body image. . . For the meaning of "image", please refer to Ephesians Chapter 4, Verses 23-24 of the New Testament. Colossians 3: 9 ~ 10. The appendix is as follows: Ephesians chapter 4, sections 23-24:

"And change your mind. Put on a new person. This new man is made in the image of God, with truth, justice and holiness. Colossians Chapter 3 Section 9 ~ 10:

"Don't lie to each other. Because you have taken off the old man and the old man's behavior and put on a new one. The new man is gradually updating his knowledge, just as he created the image of his master. How many males did God create on the sixth day? How many girls? Or just Adam and Eve? Second, only Adam and Eve. Humans are the result of chaos? Who can explain? First of all, let's look at God's creation: God created man in his own image, but he created men and women in his own image. God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and reign over the earth. "You should also manage the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and all the living things on the ground. (Genesis 1: 27-28) God saw that everything he had made was good. (Genesis 1: 3 1) I think we can see at least three points related to what we want to discuss: 1. God created man to bless them and let them govern this land and manage the creatures in the sky and underground. That is, out of love. 2. Let them have a lot of children, scattered around. 3. All this is good, without flaws and defects. God created only one man and one woman, and he wanted them to have many children on the whole earth. Obviously, it is inevitable that this man will marry the offspring of a woman. But in the later law of Moses, we saw that God stipulated that incest was not allowed. That is, the marriage between brothers and sisters is not pleasing to God. Has God changed? No. The Bible says that God is unchangeable. He is a god who will never change yesterday and today. What remains unchanged is his eternal will at the beginning of creation, and what remains unchanged is his love for people. For example, a mother bought a bucket of fresh milk for her little son, told him to drink it every morning and put it in the refrigerator. But the next morning, she found that her little son didn't put the milk in the refrigerator, so the milk had gone bad. The mother forbade her son to drink this bucket of milk again and threw it away. Has mom changed? Did the mother break her word? No, the mother's love for her son has not changed. My son is not allowed to drink this bucket of milk out of love. What changed was the situation. We know that the earth is cursed after people commit crimes, and it is no longer the * goodness * created by God. But people's living environment is still quite superior. Prove that the life span of people at that time was hundreds or even thousands of years old. However, people continued to commit crimes, so that God's judgment finally came to earth again: "When Noah was 600 years old, on February 17, all the fountains in the abyss cracked and the windows in the sky opened. It rained heavily on the ground for forty days and nights. " (Genesis 7: 1 1- 12) In this trial, only eight members of Noah's family were blessed by God and spent the rest of their lives. However, people's living environment can't be compared with before. Dayuan's fountain and the windows in the sky are open. Great changes have taken place in heaven and earth. Therefore, a perfect person's body can't be perfect. Diseases, even genetic defects, began to enter the human body. People's genetic traits are determined by genes. Genes that control the same trait are usually a pair, called alleles. If one allele is defective and the other allele is normal, then this trait is still normal. Parents' contribution to their offspring is to provide one allele each. It is not difficult to imagine that if a family carries a defective gene, it is likely that brothers and sisters will also carry it.

Have the same defects. In this way, when brothers and sisters get married, the possibility of offspring suffering from genetic diseases is greatly increased. Of course, it is easy to explain it in modern terms. For the ancients, God only stipulated that they should not commit incest. When the son can't understand why milk can't be drunk without putting it in the refrigerator, he can only tell him that it's not delicious and you can't drink it; If you don't listen, you will be forced. Has God changed? No. His love will never change yesterday, today or even forever, depending on whether we have a submissive heart.
