Dust and Breath

[Greg1234]

I hope I'm not understanding you, correctly. Are you trying to communicate that, e.g., a godly amputee is less in the image of God than an ungodly whole person?

Who said that the man in the image of God was physical?

To breathe life. What is life?

Man in this state is a reflection of that image. What makes man a man is beyond the physical. Plato did his best with an analogy to explain the real and the reflection. Its not "complete" but the message is adequately conveyed.

Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God's likeness.
2 He created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Happy?

Where does it say Eve to Adam's name when they got married? This is talking about God's name for them when he created them.

Why do they both called Adam?

 

[juvenissun]

E.g., someone who was so devoted to Christ that when authorities came and told him/her to [bow before an idol|renounce Christ|live in debauchery|despise widows and orphans] he/she refused -- and so the authorities took an arm.

In that moment, did this person lose something of the image of God?

No. the image is immutable. The arm will come back to the person when he goes up to see Him.

Yes, this is also called the "shadow" in the Book of Hebrews (Heb 8:5; 10:1).

Our shape is the shadow of God.

Why do they both called Adam?

That is another subject, but to put it really simplistically;
the spirit of man and woman was one. When God created Eve, he separated into the two spirits. Now when they get married, they become one.

This brief explanation does not due this justice at all, it would be wise to read up on this if it interests you.

The final outcome is grace and truth becoming unified. If it isn't then God has still forsaken you.

 

[Assyrian]

Why do they both called Adam?

Because Adam is God's name for the human race?

 

[Jase]

Why do they both called Adam?

Adam is Hebrew for mankind.

 

[juvenissun]

Adam is Hebrew for mankind.

Is Adam also a person in their genealogy? Why do they call their very first ancestor "mankind"?

This strays away from the OP. But ...

Would the united spirit in a marriage separated again when the couple die?

 

[pilgrimage]

Genesis 5:2
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Is Adam also a person in their genealogy? Why do they call their very first ancestor "mankind"?

It's the name that God gave, the male Adam named Eve.

What did Jesus say?

Because Adam is a picture of God creating mankind. Adam may be the name of the character in the story, but Genesis 5 tells us it was God's name for people, plural 'them' 'their' male and female.

Gen 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him in God's likeness.
2 He created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

You may be the son of Mr and Mrs Juvenis (or not ) but you are also a child of the human race.

 

[granpa]

many countries are called by the name of their founder.

[Donasta]

Only Adam and Jedidiah were named bye God.

 

[juvenissun]

It's the name that God gave, the male Adam named Eve.

 

[ivebeenshown]

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever. He has a body. "Spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have." He is God. He is the "Son of Man", the "Ancient of Days." Christ is the form of God that walked in the garden, and breathed life into Adam, IMO.

 

[pilgrimage]

At the day that they were created God made Adam, male and female. Then He took Eve from within him and separated them after telling them about not eating from the k.o.g.a.e. tree. Adam named all the animals before the separation.
After the fall Eve was named as mother of all living. Gen 3:20

Would you still be a female when you are in the Heaven? I really like to know what you think about this question.

There's the thing abt the 2 becoming one with Christ. I beleive that we must encompass all of our selves to be true entities in heaven. Since you asked in what appears to be good faith I'll answer with what I consider to be correct at this point in time. There are those who will not accomplish the complete transformation that will be joined to Christ as the male, aware of His moves. Then there will be those who are joined to the Father who will be free humans working from the Holy Spirit. It doesn't matter the gender now. If you ask for biblical references for these views I would have to decline because hey are too vague for clear proof. It's only my opinion that I see within scripture. There are many people who share this opinion so perhaps they could offer more proof.
The end result will be as the beginning, 2 walking with God.

If you are still you in the Heaven, then there must be gender in the Heaven. It will not be physical, but is a spiritual gender. Male is spiritually different from female, isn't it?
