Genesis - Who is our image?

You continue keeping God in your box by believing that if He commands an inanimate object to do something, that object cannot move on its own, but must be moved by God Himself to complete the command. There is no scriptural support for that in any way. The Bible says, With God, ALL things are possible. You appear to deny that.

You're really grasping at straws here to hold on to your nonsensical and false doctrine! What you're missing in all of this is that when God spoke Creation into existence, there was in what He spoke the power to make His command come to pass. Thus, He could say "let there be light" (though the Hebrew is more along the lines of the more active "light be" or "light exist") when there was none and the very act of His speaking the command caused it to happen. You keep trying to assign sentience to inanimate objects or substances. Your whole "Well God could do it if He wanted to" notion is really a childish kind of thing.

Do the wind continued to blow? No, it stopped, just as it was commanded to do.

No, the power to cause the wind to cease was in the very command that Jesus gave - just as in the power to cause Creation to come into existence was in the very words that God spoke.

You are too humanity minded, Chan. God is greater than what you think He is capable of doing and you just don't seem to get it. And no, the dirt wasn't alone, but without it, Adam wouldn't have been made....from the dirt, that is.

Oh, please, don't give me this "Well, God could have done it if He wanted to" garbage!!!!!! You're being childish in your theology. The text of the Genesis 1:26 is clear and there is nothing in it that even remotely suggests God was speaking to inanimate substances!

And you are correct. It doesn't say rocks, it says stones.

Luke 19:38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

It still doesn't say that if WE keep silent the stones would cry out.

I get the point. I'm sure you don't and are ready to give me a sermon on how I took that completely out of context, yada, yada, yada.....

Whatever..

No, you really don't get it!
