Chapter 840: Man has the image and likeness of the Creator
Mai Ke drove a small locomotive with a sharp movement, drove silently, and sent the three people over quickly.
Gavin, Luther, and Methodist sat down, and they were briefed on the topics they had just discussed, the results that had been achieved, and the issues that Paul III was about to discuss.
Immediately afterward, Paul III began to speak.
In fact, he didn't wait just now, but was organizing the language, sorting out his thoughts clearly, thinking about how to express it, and letting everyone know what he meant.
As for what he says about our image, the image and the likeness of our likeness, I agree with most people, referring to that part of the essential attributes of the Creator, such as kindness, justice, mercy, and so on, which the Creator gave to man, and this is the standard of the Creator, and the man created must have these qualities in order to be considered a normal person! This can also be said to be the basic requirement of the Creator for man. โ
"Thank you, Mr. Paul, are there any additions or corrections?" Gavin, Luther, and Methodist, the three newcomers, tell us your views?"
Gavin was indeed as McCor had hoped, and the two had the same theological position, and there were some things in the image and style that Paul had not mentioned, and he felt that he needed to add something.
If Gavin doesn't say it, McCor himself will probably have to say it.
Gavin said, " I know that what I am saying is for all of our expedition members, and that I have tried to use as little theological language as possible, and to make it easier to understand, and my basic position is that I tend to say that the image and the likeness that the Creator is referring to here are the second of the Trinitarian person, that is, the Son the Creator, who appeared there at that time in the form and likeness of man, and this image and likeness, that is, four thousand years after the Creator of the Son, became incarnate and came into the world, and fulfilled the task of salvation in the form and likeness of man, is the same! This involves a great principle for understanding the words of the Creator, that is, the words of the Creator are words that can be understood by man, and therefore, the image and form he is talking about are the real images and patterns that man can see with his usual two eyes! Not only is it not a problem at all, but it should be so, not only should it be so, but it is necessary!"
When Gavin began to expound his views, everyone did not agree or find it unacceptable, and even what Methody and Luther said to him, although they did not think so, did not object, that is, did not affect the overall situation.
However, when everyone saw that he was talking more and more serious about that image and style, and gradually escalated, they couldn't help but pay serious attention!
This idea has never been heard of, and is it really so significant?
Even McKee's eyes widened.
Baili Liangliu was naturally curious, but as the host, of course, he couldn't arrange the time based on his own interests, so he just said smoothly: "In this case, you might as well talk carefully, everyone listens, why did the Creator become the image and style of a man, at this time just now, it should be so, it must be so?"
Gavin said, "Yes, I have several reasons to prove that the Creator created man to operate in the flesh image and likeness that He Himself had prepared.
"First, the Creator has decided that this new creation has a physical image and likeness, and is like them, but before that the Creator has created innumerable animals and plants, birds and beasts, in many names, in a variety of names, and in countless numbers, and in a dizzying number, but none of them has the image and likeness of the Creator!
Second, we will learn later that man is a living being, and this is distinguished from angels, because angels use only spirit and have no physical body, so that although we do not know when angels were created, we do know that they do not have the image and likeness of the Creator like man.
"Thirdly, it follows from this that man, who has been given the image and likeness of the Creator himself, has a quality that is unique to the kind of creation, that is, he has the image and character of the Creator!
"Fourth, the image and style of man are the same as those of the Creator, which also means that as long as there is a person, everywhere and at any time, that person has the image and likeness of the Creator, and cannot be distorted, evolved, increased or decreased, and will always maintain a unique appearance and structure.
"Fifth, the human form is the same as that of the Creator, that is, the present appearance and pattern, with a head and feet, a belly in the middle, hands on the left and right, and five senses on the head, and these limbs and organs have their own uses, each in their own style, and each occupies a special place, which is eternal and unchanging, and will always be so.
"I'm just a rough enumeration, in fact, the whole person is a unique existence, regardless of whether it is the material level, or the spiritual level, or the soul level, are all special, my list can be listed endlessly, but the world does not allow it, and at the same time there is no need, just like the counting of stars, that is, the person who was created, you can never know what the mystery is, just as modern medicine divides the human body into more and more subtle parts, but finds that there are more and more subtle things in the direction of subtle branches.
"Since man, who has been created so precisely and has such a great mission, sees through him the image and likeness of the Creator, and is separated from other material beings and angels, and is distinct from them, there must be a definite appearance, that is, a model, and this model must be satisfactory to the Creator, and of course the most satisfying is that the Creator himself comes, which is the wisest, the most labor-saving, and the most natural way, and therefore this method is the wisest, though not absolutely necessary, but also the wisest method.
Once this model is established, the Creator will follow the Creator and man, and there is no need to redefine the standards, and it is also the wisest consideration to prevent the standards from being different and creating people who do not conform to the image and likeness of God. โ

Chapter 841 There are men and women, and they are naturally good horses
To make a long story short, Gavin concluded: "The common image and likeness of the Creator and man are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that four thousand years later, when the Son the Creator came into the flesh and came into the world in the form of a man, man can still be discerned, and he is the Creator; if the people of the earth were different in image and likeness at that time, who could know him by the image of the Creator?
"If one of these patterns is adopted, people will say, "What's so strange about the old way?" When they meet people who look different, they will say, "If they don't look like me, their hearts will be different, and they will attack them; if they take a new look, they will say, "It's not surprising that a new trick will come out, and we will wait for it!"
"Thus it is evident how important it is that the Creator had a standard model prepared there long before the creation of man, at least before the creation of man, so that on the sixth day when the Creator created the crown of creation of man, he first declared that we would create man, and make man in our image and likeness!"
McKee looked at Gavin with great admiration, and sure enough, he was a senior pastor, and he thought about this question so deeply!
To be honest, he didn't think about it to that extent.
When Wehrie and Luther began to listen, they wanted to retort, saying that you seem to be thinking too much!
But after Yue heard it, the more she was conquered by his impeccable logic, it was all a natural thing.
So later, I changed my attitude and became completely agreeable.
The center of their attention is actually different from Gavin, who is very focused on a comprehensive understanding of the main purpose of the creation, so he is very good at integrating and thinking holistically, because the Creator is in control of all creation and cannot separate them.
And what Methodist paid attention to was to spread the words of the Creator so that more people could hear them.
Luther, on the other hand, focused on having faith in the Creator, and you should do what the Creator says.
After listening to Gavin's explanation, the two agreed in their hearts and nodded together in agreement.
Paul III said: "I didn't think about it that much before, but listening to Gavin's words opened my mind and felt that it made a lot of sense, and I agreed with his explanation, that the Creator is completely wise, and that this is indeed the wisest way to do so, otherwise he would have come to those lost souls, and everyone would have become ugly, and it would have taken a little more effort, wouldn't it? โ
Although Baili Lianglu could not intervene in the words and participate in such discussions, since he had that dream, he knew very well that his mission was to find all the sins of rebellion against the Creator in history, and to eradicate them from the time those sins germinated, this task was too arduous, if it was not for the understanding of the Creator, and always be vigilant and not to go against the will of the Creator, it would be impossible to complete this use, so at the beginning, it was a crucial step to understand what the Creator said and what it meant to create man in their image and style๏ผ
From the very beginning, he opened this discussion to all expedition members, so that everyone understood that following the will of the Creator was their lifeline.
Now, he felt that the discussion had achieved its goal, so he said to everyone: "Thank you for the discussion, and thank you to all the expedition members for listening carefully, and now you know that the image and style we have now is the image and pattern of the Creator, and we are in this world, we are the representatives of the Creator, and we act according to His will, which means that we act according to His will, and we are equal to the Creator himself!" Therefore, from now on, I can forgive you for any minor faults, but we must never go against the will of the Creator, which is the basic ethics of each of us! If there is a violation, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people, because you have already made yourself a human being! I and all the expedition team members, how can I tolerate you! The sky is mighty, don't say anything unexpected!"
When Baili Liangliu said this, he was majestic and magnificent, which made everyone's hearts tremble!
Most people bow their heads in obedience, and there are some people who see how this guy who is like a good gentleman has been going crazy lately.
As a result, when he saw it, he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
It turned out that Baili Liangliu was emitting waves of white light all over his body, and he was very upright and upright, no worse than the most authoritative commander in their minds.
What no one knew was that since the old man had talked to him, of course he had to give him some visions so that he could better exercise his special rights and carry out his mission.
This discussion, as well as the new level of leadership authority established by Baili Liangliu, are all for the purpose of preparing for a real battle soon.
Because the created king is about to appear, he will surely become the focus of attacks by hostile forces.
As soon as Baili Liangliu finished speaking, his gaze was diverted.
The eyes of everyone on the expedition were diverted.
It turned out that among all the creatures who were prostrated to greet them, the first human member appeared in everyone's field of vision out of thin air.
In the eyes of all the creatures, this king is called a perfect image!
If they were to be compared, they would be absolutely ashamed of themselves!
Thankfully, they don't have that in mind.
for the king whom the Creator hath set up for them is not unequal.
However, these expedition members are different, and their first thought is to compete with this ancestor!
In the expedition team, there were both men and women, and there was a significant difference in the ratio of everyone.
The male ratio is to compare every part of the body.
From top to bottom, including the middle, not a single organ is spared.
After the competition, everyone mourned together, and everyone was ashamed of themselves!
Everyone saw a reality, and none of them were perfect compared to this perfect standard model!
Either the head is big, or the feet are small, and it is not easy to come across a few well-proportioned ends, and there is an obvious defect in the middle.
This kind of person is the saddest.
Women look at him with a different emphasis.
They are very smart and right, and they do not compare themselves with themselves, but they shift the focus to the standards of their spouses.
If you already have it, compare it with reality, and if you don't have it, determine the standard and follow it later.
In this way, the sad level of women is much lower than that of men.
After all, it has not yet become a reality, and there is still hope.
The minds of the men and women of the expedition were spinning there, and the man who had come into the world alone was also looking for his kind in the welcoming crowd of animals.
At a glance, he saw that those who were created were too low-level, and although they could be friends, they could not be spouses.
Spouse means that you can match yourself and then form a pair.
He saw that none of them could be a spouse, and disappointment and loneliness welled up in his heart.
How could the Creator not know that he took one out of his rib and made a woman.
The man was overjoyed and married, and he was the first human being.
