Continued Investigation of the Image of God according to the Holy Bible.
It has been shown in a certain correspondence regardless
of what certain Denominations and Entities of Christianity claim that the Holy Bible
asserts that Man alone is made in the likeness and image of God and not the woman
through the 1st Adam, and that this fact reverberates through creation
as it is still true that even to this day. Man alone, the male gender of humanity,
and not the Woman, the female gender of humanity, bears the Image of God by Divine
Creation in Genesis.
This assertion stands on the basis that scripture contained
in the Holy Bible is true. The assertion maintains that the prior argument alluded
to in a certain correspondence with a Radio Station has shown by valid argument and
valid logical induction to be true. That it is the case that Holy Bible affirms that
Man in Adam in the male gender alone is made in the image of God by God and will be
shown so again in more depth. This being maintained true until someone successfully
demonstrates that this is false, then it is such that to assert that both men and
women were created in the image of God in their common humanity regardless of gender
is then to assert that the Holy Bible is then untrue. Certainly then on this principle,
one or the other has to be true. Reality and truth so far presented dictate that either
the Holy Bible is infallible and correct and only Man is made in the Image of God
and not the woman (I maintain that it is, and
so does the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians
11:7-9), or the Holy Bible is fallible and incorrect even
with itself and that certain denominations and entities of Christianity are correct
in their assertion that Man and Woman are both made in the image of God. Truth is
antithetical to falsehood, and likewise does not invalidate itself. It has to be the
case that it is that man alone is made in the image of God and the Holy Bible is in
full accord with itself or that it is otherwise. Unless one can legitimately invalidate
the prior and further argument made maintaining that the Holy Bible shows that Man
alone is made in the image of God, Biblical Orthodoxy stands in affirmation of this
position.
Noting that in a prior correspondence with a radio
station concerning their featuring of the 2014 National Women's Confrence, there
is a legitimate rational and logically valid multi-tiered argument demonstrating
that Man and not Woman is made in the image of God. If one is not familiar with
it, though lengthy it should be reviewed as it catches one up to speed on this
issue. It is noted that it is yet to be seen that any legitimate rational
presents itself which would invalidate its reasoning. That original argument is
based upon the following 5 assertions.
1. The apostle Paul affirms that Man and
not the Woman is made in the Image of God in1 Corinthians
11:7-9.
2. Natural anatomical evidence present
in Human Anatomy in differences in composition and proportion between Man and Woman
demonstrates that they are not made in the same image. Also, the conceptual understanding
of Gender implicitly maintains that masculinity and femininity are conceptual entities
which exist distinct from one another.
3. The Holy and Perfect Nature of God precludes
Woman from being made in his Image as she currently exists without God violating his
Holy and Perfect Nature, and thus corrupting himself in the process and causing catastrophic
ramifications to emanate through existence which certainly would exponentially dwarf
the current ramifications of corruption, sin, and death present in our world due to
the fall of mankind in original sin.
4. That Genesis
1:27 is not an Argument. It is not an Argument
presented by God with a premise and a conclusion in itself or anywhere else contained
in the Holy Bible. It cannot be fashioned into an argument as it becomes nonsense
as that argument is logically invalid due to the omnipotence of God. Genesis
1:27 is a passage in the Bible where God essentially makes 2 explicit statements about his creation of human beings. 1.) That Man, the Male human being, was created in God's Image and 2.) God made human beings to be of two genders, male and female.
5. Majority
or popular opinion in no way or means based solely on itself legitimately proves or
validates that such a viewpoint is valid and true even if a majority of perceived
Christianity believes and asserts Woman being made in the Image of God. Such a notion
rather exemplifies the worldliness of the current dismal state of organized denominational
Christianity rather than affirming a contradiction of reason within the Holy Bible
and with the apostolic members of Christianity and 1st century
disciples of Jesus Christ.
