Image: God Loves

The question of human life is among the most important because it has implications for seemingly everything, from theology to sociology, history, biology, psychology, and the like. It is the doctrine of imago dei (Latin for “image of God”) that answers questions regarding how mankind is different from God the Creator and his creation. It also reveals why we can believe in such things as compassion and equality—truths that an evolutionary worldview simply cannot bring about.

Among Bible-believing, Jesus-loving Christians, there are at least six primary interpretations of the creation account in Genesis 1–2.

1. Historic Creationism
2. Young Earth Creationism
3. Gap Theory
4. Literary Framework View
5. Day Age View
6. Theistic Evolution

We looked at these 6 views briefly on Friday night. Please read the notes for further discussion on these 6 views and also take advantage of the numerous resources cited in the notes.

Creation: God Makes

Today a debate rages about the question of origins and where creation and humanity came from. Much of the passion that surrounds this question is because the answer has implications for everything else. For example, Genesis says that there was a beginning to history, which means there will be an end. Genesis says that creation comes from God, which means it belongs to God. Genesis says that people come from God, which means that people will stand before God in the end.
