Fall: God Judges- Notes
Last Friday we were powerfully impacted by the sermon Fall: God Judges. Below are the notes that further investigate the points and applications that were brought up in the sermon.

Ludwig Feuerbach (19th century) was an atheist who declared that God did not make us, but rather we made God as a figment of our imagination. Students of his thinking include Karl Marx (who applied this politically), Sigmund Freud (who applied this psychologically), and Friedrich Nietzsche (who applied this philosophically). Conversely, in Genesis 1–2 we see that we did not create God, but rather God created us with the following features:
- The Trinity created us.
- A personal God personally created us as persons (e.g., by his hands and not his words like the rest of creation).
- God’s creation of us was loving.
- God made us male and female, which means that while the genders are distinct they are equal.
- God made us originally very good (Gen. 1:31 cf. Eccles. 7:29).
- God blessed us.
- Unlike the animals made according to their “own kind,” we were made in the “image of God.”
- Because God is Trinity and made us in his image and likeness, we were made for relationships in the following categories:
- With God (theological)
- With self (psychological)
- With others (social)
- With creation (environmental)
Please read the notes for further discussion on being created in the image of God and also take advantage of the numerous other resources cited in the notes.

Among Bible-believing, Jesus-loving Christians, there are at least six primary interpretations of the creation account in Genesis 1–2.
- Historic Creationism
- Young Earth Creationism
- Gap Theory
- Literary Framework View
- Day Age View
- 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.
