I'm very happy I found your channel. After discovering Othodoxy through the sermons of Mar Mari Emmanuel, I have felt the Spirit over the last year push me further towards the Orthodox path after having been raised and lived as a Pentacostal protestant. Thank you for covering this very crucial topic of the image of God and Jesus Christ's role in redeeming God's divine creations. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one God, Amen!

Two things: 1. Could you say that the man typically initiating the procreative act can symbolize the eternal spiration of the the Holy Spirit from the Father? If so could birth be a symbol of the Holy Spirit coming into the world through the Son? 2. I've always struggled with the "in", "for", and "through" language that St. Paul uses to relate Christ to creation. Could "in" refer to the Logoi and their unity in Christ? Could "for" relate to how creation is a gift from the Father to the Son and creation's purpose is to be united to Christ? Could "through" relate to how Christ created the world? Amazing video as always, thanks!

Very interesting topic, thanks for sharing your thoughts on it. I cannot help but be reminded of a very strange reversal which appears in a non-canonical "Gospel of Peter" text that was discovered in Egypt from a tomb dating back to the Ancient-ish era. The interesting thing about this gospel is it directly portrays the Resurrection of Jesus, which the canonical gospels actually do not do. At the Ressurection scene, though, Jesus does not appear as the same man he was before his death but instead appears as a giant, with two other giant men accompanying him, and a Giant Cross also appears, with which he engages in a strange dialogue in which the giant cross speaks back to him. One interesting theory about the reason for this giant Jesus is that according to one Rabbinical text, some Jewish thinkers believed that Adam was also a giant man until he sinned, after which he shrunk down in size as part of the punishment for the first sin, so Jesus simply restored the giant size which Adam already had. Now, if we think about this carefully, this seems to invert the terms of the formula "Man made in the image of God" by instead portraying Jesus as someone who had to be "made in the image of the original Man" given that the play on words in Biblical Hebrew is that Adam is the proper name of that first Man but is also just the Hebrew word for Man (indeed, even in Modern Hindi the word for a Man is "Admi") but is also the word for the dirt from which he was formed. Likewise, the Gospel of Peter seems to miss this deepest point by having Jesus made in Adam's image after his ressurection, rather than the other way around

At about 3:20 you liken the partnership of Adam and Eve being the ground for the creation of new life to the spiration of the Holy Spirit. Doesn’t this tend to support the RC’s case for the filioque?
