16. In
the analogy of Jeremiah
13:11,
God
ascribes
in the highest anatomical masculine terms the masculinity of his being, literately
referencing the chief area of the human anatomy that is uniquely male. It is self
explanatory. God in the person of the Father without exception never characterizes
himself symbolically in a physical manifestation in a way that is feminine whether
that symbolism is enacted in a non gendered metaphorical form or in the particular
appearance of his masculine image in which God made man. Though God in his prophetic
words alludes to certain divine nurturing actions in alliterative form through feminine
agencies, the alliteration equates those feminine agencies to the actions of God,
but not to the person of God himself. (Mathew
23:37, Luke 13:34,
&
Deuteronomy 32:11-12)
Note the distinction as it is pertinent.
Also,
concerning the non-gendered metaphorical forms contained in scripture in which God
presents himself such as is the case of the divine fire on the bush before Moses or
in the whirlwind before Job, the presentation of the beings form of existence is a
metaphorical essence in visual form alluding to God's present functioning nature in
the context of a substantive situation rather than the appearance of God's actual
unchanging physical image which God has endowed men to posses from the beginning.
One reasons this in that God exercises his divine prerogative of supreme authority
through his omnipotence to clothe himself with majesty (Job
40:10)
in whatsoever way God enacts. In the sum total of all this section wherein the symbolic
nature of God is examined, it is seen then that the likeness of God's physical image
must be without variance (Malachi
3:6),
unequivocally masculine.
17. If there
is co-equality and coexistence of the image of God being present in both genders of
humanity, why would one surmise that there should be a distinction in God's process
of creating Adam and in Eve at all in creation where Adam was formed out of the dust
and Eve was formed from Adam? It is maintained that in this distinction, in God's
methodology of the creation of Adam and Eve, that it was so enacted because Adam was
to be an image bearer of God and Eve was not, and thus Adam came to have God given
authority over her, and secondly, the symbolism of this points to the relationship
of God to his people where God is the husband and his people are his wedded wife.
Lastly, there is a portion of the Bible, Zachariah 5:6, where woman is symbolically
seen as having judgment in the earth in wickedness in accordance with the spirit of
Anti-Christ. This spirit has been in humanity throughout the ages and one deems a
chief mode in which it exists in the world at large today is in the belief system
of postmodernism which is seen at large in even in denominational Christianity in
the promotion of Women as authority figures, as co-equal co-bearers of the image of
God in complete contradiction to the Holy Bible and in full concordance with the spirit
of this age, the inner workings of Lucifer (Revelation 20:2) which can be characterized
as being Anti-Genesis, Anti-God, and Anti-Christ.
18.
Hebrews 7:10 - “For
he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.”
(Referring
to Levi)
The
passage of Hebrews
7:10 is
encountered as the orator of Hebrews is touching on the the nature of the Order of
the priesthood of Melchisedec. It contains the tangential point that precedence is
ascribed to the male gender of humanity in man's anatomy in the inheritance of human
creation which supports Genesis
5:3 in
affirming the endowment of the Image of God upon the male gender of humanity through
inheritance.
