GENESIS is the book of origins and beginnings. That is why we derived the word “GENERATION” from its name. Here, we read the story of God’s marvelous creation of the universe, the heavens and the earth. Every living things plants and animals namely, land and water bodies, celestial bodies such as the moon, the stars, the sun and the universe, flying, swimming and creeping creatures were also existed in the time of creation. Every created thing in this earth existed in God’s Word. But there is one created thing which is always serves as an special emblem in the sight of God, and that is MANKIND.
Genesis 1:26-28
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Gen 2:7-8 (AND GOD MADE ADAM OUT OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND)
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
OUT OF THE DUST OF THE EARTH MAN WAS CREATED. MAN IS A THREE-DIMENSIONED BEING. HE HAS THE BODY, THE SOUL AND SPIRIT.
The Human Body has the same Elements which the Planet Earth had.
You might now be wondering what other elements are inside your body. Keep reading to find out, and to find out how the elements in the body compare to the elements found on Earth.
the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All 11 are necessary for life. The remaining elements are trace elements, of which more than a dozen are thought on the basis of good evidence to be necessary for life [1]. All of the mass of the trace elements put together (less than 10 grams for a human body) do not add up to the body mass of magnesium, the least common of the 11 non-trace elements.
MAN IS NOT CREATED OUT OF GOD’S WORD. HE DID NOT SAY “LET THERE BE MAN” INSTEAD, HE FORMED MAN OUT OF THE EARTH’S DUST TO BECOME A LIVING SOUL.
MAN IS DEFINED AS A SPIRIT BEING HAVING A PHYSICAL BODY (WHICH IS THE EARTHLY HOUSE).
MAN WAS CREATED BY GOD THROUGH THE DUST OF THE EARTH BECAUSE HE WANTS MAN TO HAVE DOMINION IN THIS EARTH FROM WHERE HE WAS CREATED. THE DUST IS THE EMBLEM OF GOD’S CREATIVE MASTERPIECE --- AND THAT IS MAN.
DEAR FOLKS, DO YOU KNOW THAT WE HUMAN BEINGS WERE AN EMBLEM OF GOD’S IMAGE. WE ARE CREATED SPECIAL IN THE SIGHT OF GOD BECAUSE WE ARE CREATED IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD A LITTLE LOWER THAN HIM.
Psalms 8:4-9
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
THE QUESTION IS THIS?
WHO REALLY AM I ? HOW DID I EXIST IN THIS WORLD?
HUMAN IS DERIVED IS IN TWO WORDS,
HUMUS AND MAN
HUMUS LITERALLY MEANS DIRT+ MAN IS A SPIRIT BEING
SO, THE HUMAN IS DEFINED AS A SPIRIT BEING INDWELT INTO A DIRT SUIT A MASK OR A CASING. OUR PHYSICAL BODY SERVES AS A SUITCASE OF OUR INNER MAN WHICH IS THE SOUL AND THE SPIRIT. IT IS THE INTEGRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND THE PHYSIQUE.
SPECIFICALLY, THE DUST IS NOT A LOAM OR SAND. IT WAS A MIREY CLAY.
A MIRE IS A WET SPONGY EARTH AS BOG OR MARSH
A CLAY IS A HEAVY STICKY MATERIAL FROM THE EARTH THAT IS MADE INTO DIFFERENT SHAPES AND THAT BECOMES HARD WHEN IT BAKED OR DRIED.
