Some will try to assert that because Genesis 1:26-27 the
Hebrew article is used (the Adam). Also, both passages use
the Strong's #120, which is the word for Adam-man. The
implication being that if Yahweh didn't create the other
races, He didn't say, in their case, "everything after his
kind, and...it was good."
Probably one of the most absurd inferences, if Genesis 1:26
-27 is the record of the CREATION of the other races, is the
commission (office) that Yahweh gave them in Genesis 1:28
which reads:
"And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and REPLENISH the earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of
the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the
earth."
The other races, have never fulfilled such a task as this,
and never will. If that is the true context of this passage,
then the other races should "subdue"and "have dominion over"
us. Well, surely, it isn't because they aren't trying to
accomplish such a thing. Go back and reread Psalm 2:2-3
again if you don't think so.
It is only common sense and logic, then, if the Almighty
continually said to have nothing to do with the other races
PERIOD, why did He "create" them and stick them with us? Or
better stated, why did He "create" them that we might get
stuck with them? There are two kinds of "beasts," those who
can talk, the two footed kind and the ones who cannot talk,
and are four footed and dumb.
In the coming new order of the ages we shall know the while
truth; meantime, in these matters we must walk by faith.
Through inspiration, however, God is revealing to the
faithful much that cannot be fully comprehended by the
process of reasoning alone. It is also well to bear in mind
that one of the great; if not the greatest, hindrances to an
understanding of the Scriptures is to approach the
investigation of the Bible with preconceived and absolutely
fixed ideas. Such and attitude will immediately nullify the
possibility of inspirational instruction, for the Spirit of
the Lord will never labor to overcome such a barrier to
faith.
It is of more than passing interest to note Isaiah's
reference to the fact that God DID NOT CREATE THE EARTH IN
VAIN; that is, a waste. The Hebrew word here translated
"vain" in Isaiah 45:18 is "tohu" and is the same word used
in Genesis 1:2 in the phrase "without form." We re tod here
that the earth was NOT originally CREATED "without form and
void" but that it came from God in a perfect state. The
condition depicted in the second verse of the first chapter
of Genesis came at a later time.
In order to better understand the factors involved in
bringing the earth and its inhabitants into being, it is
essential to recognize that the original process of creating
began as a mental act, after which the formation became a
process to bring into being the visualized mental pattern of
creation, using physical means to give it form and
substance.
Psalm 9:5-7
5: Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the
wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6: O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end:
and THOU HAST DESTROYED CITIES; THEIR MEMORIAL IS PERISHED
WITH THEM.
7: But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
throne for judgment.
Psalm 18:7-15
7: Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also
of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8: There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out
of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9: He bowed the heavens also, and came down: AND DARKNESS
WAS UNDER HIS FEET.
10: And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly
upon the wings of the wind.
11: He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round
about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12: At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds
passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13: The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest
gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14: Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he
shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
15: THEN THE CHANNELS OF WATERS WERE SEEN, AND THE
FOUNDATIONS OF THE WORLD WERE DISCOVERED AT THY REBUKE, O
LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. |
