Albert Mohler - "Male and Female Created He Them"

Genesis 1:27 declares God's creation of both male and female in His image. Southern Seminary president, R. Albert Mohler Jr. addresses the many questions this passage answers for the church and the culture in a confused age.

Well said brother Al amen

Excellent teaching

[@thomasjnemeth]

Thank you so much for this humble, balanced and mature message on complementarianism! Such a breath of fresh air. Way better than a silly word association game that manifested prideful hearts.

To all. Pls help. Read 2nd paragraph, description, youtube STAR OF BETHLEHEM 2029

Otherwise love Al, but I’ve got to part ways on this specific issue. Male vs. female pastors/elders is a primary issue. It is willful rebellion against scripture. Any church that has a woman pastor is not a church. It is a weekly social club for spiritually lost souls.

You need to realize that Jesus was the "express image" of God (Heb 1:3) God is not feminine, regardless of what your anti-Christ rabbi will tell you (1 John 2:22). Be ye not called Rabbi (Mathew 23:8) Shakina is the feminine aspect of the god of Judaism, not the masculine God of the bible. Judaism is not a biblical religion, and since no man commeth to the Father except by Jesus, and whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father (1 John 2:23), Jews have a different father and god. He just taught that Eve was created out of Adam. Adam was created first, and as Genesis 1:27 states, "he" was created in the image of God, and separately, "they were created male and female". Adding Eve to the creation of man in the image of God is extra biblical, and is changing God's word by interpretation. Why would anyone do that? It is clear to me. Just as the Mormons change their doctrine to meet the worlds standards through time, so do many teachers who have been heaped up before men who have itching ears. (2 Tim 4:3)

.I don't think he is neither but Spirit.

[@paulchristian8271]

Martina Jones Jesus was the express “image” of the Father. Jesus said “if you have seen me, you have seen the Father”. God the Father is spirit, but “He” is a masculine God.

[@branver1172]

He’s saying he is God. He’s not talking about his gender.

[@paulchristian8271]

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Who does it say was made in God's image? If you are not illiterate, you should be able to read and answer. It is simple reading comprehension, with a junior high school reading comprehension and grammar understanding. This is an English translation. God made man in His own image........and if that wasn't enough for you, "in the image of God created he him"; male and female created he "them". Please tell me where God said that he made woman in "his" own image, or where the bible teaches a feminine God. When you fail, you should believe what the bible actually says, otherwise you should go do something else, such as getting saved so that you can understand the scriptures and believe them.

And thus by your logic, that is that the "man" spoken of here is the male figure rather than humanity in general, it is alright to kill women with impunity. "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind" - Genesis 9:6 or to curse women "With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness" - James 3:9.

[@paulchristian8271]

@@entsoltechnical In Genesis 1:27 God uses the pronoun "him" when referring to the antecedent "man", and then separates "them" from that statement when speaking about their genders. In Genesis 9:6 the word "mankind" is not used. 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. You could argue that "man's" and "by man" is referring to all of mankind, and it would not contradict Genesis 1:27, but "the statement in 9:6 :for in the image of God made he man" is also separated from the first statement. There are many things that God expects us to understand through his creation, even His existence, as Romans 1 says. Romans 1:26 tells us that homosexuality is "against nature", so we instinctively know that it is "vile". 1 Cor 11:14 says "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? The point is that Gen 9 is speaking about the law, and prior to Moses, the natural law was evident, which is that if a man sheds another man's blood, the punishment should be death. By nature, do we first think of women shedding blood as a rule? Do women do the most murder? Are women the war mongers? Are women the ones who execute the statutes of God in punishing evil doers? Only in a backward society that God is about to judge are women doing these things. Only when a society that God is about to judge are women know for this.

[@paulchristian8271]

John Hutchinson If every child murdered in the womb today was counted as a murder, women would be doing the most murder. God’s judgement is coming.

[@branver1172]

Read the whole passage. If you know basic grammar and punctuation it’s clear women are made in God’s image. I’ve been told it’s even more straightforward in the Hebrew.

[@paulchristian8271]

@@branver1172 I posted the passage. "He" created "Him" in His image [comma} "male and female created he "them". The woman is not included in the "image" aspect of their creation. That is simple grammar and punctuation knowledge. You should read the NT to find out whether or not you should listen to "Christ rejecting" "anti Christ" "liars" whose father is "the devil" and are of the "synagogue of Satan". They are only the heirs of the bondwoman, and not the free. They are the olive tree that will "never produce fruit" but Christians think that they know the real truth. There is no Shikina glory feminine aspect of God. The Jews made that up.

I agree ladies should not be pastors, but he seriously misrepresents 2nd wave feminism.

Why shld ladies not be pastors please?

[@ursulaphillips4671]

Who are you? That fear man whose breath is in his nostrils? Whose breath can be extracted from his nostrils because man, who is only made of flesh and blood, is here today and gone tomorrow. You fear abominable man but you do NOT fear God and you do not show respect unto your God who is your Maker.

[@qwerty-so6ml]

Genesis 1 is Lucifer and the fallen angels. They made man in their image. Man is an idol, a trap for angels. Only one Gospel: The Gospel of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.

False dichotomy between accidental and divine. Third option - unguided natural processes.

[@ronaverell864]

natural processes: do you mean processes governed by natural laws?

[@GodlessGubment]

Ron Averell I mean processes consisting of materials having natural properties - e.g. chemicals having weights and shapes and charges and solubility etc

[@ronaverell864]

Unguided: would you mean that these natural laws (if you agree there are natural laws) are each independant and dissociated from each other without being harmonized by a greater Law or Law-Giver? Do you work in Science & Engineering? Are natural laws mutually independent from each other?

[@ronaverell864]

@@GodlessGubment James: can you quantify these unguided natural processes with scientific notations, formulas or other process descriptions as to the formation of the universe in detail, like what is the process forming Jupiter vs the Earth from the beginning, or about starting with the Earth & its natural Abiotic chemicals & materials, can you share the process in scientific notation of the compounds necessary for forming life?
