I have been one blessed women since i found “The Bible Project “!! Thank you guys for Helping us understand the Bible so well!

[@ianfitzpatrick2230]

The evangelical community is shocking but I must say I love this whole project, the power in comprehending what this ancient culture is trying to present to us in their view and time. Cultural relativism is something as a human I’ve lacked in my daily life let alone reading texts written by and for ancient cultures. I pray for guidance, understanding, and the softest heart when approaching these words

“Subdue my backyard” is something that actually happened to my family and I. We had just moved into a new house and the previous owner, because she was grieving her husband, had let the backyard get out of control. The very center was a mass of weeds and flowers several feet high, like a chunk of wild prairie had taken over the yard. It took several months to subdue it and turn the backyard into a beautiful place to host family gatherings.

[@canusnurse]

yes, just like our new nature in Christ; we work to control the weeds, the old nature before Christ; and it's continual work to keep it as a place that gives our soul rest and peace in the same as your backyard gives physical rest. Beautiful lessons the Spirit teaches us. Have a blessed day.

Some people do live in a place called “home”where they are to obey the predator in uniform and can’t “subdue “or death is usually the consequences ,some people do live in fear that the animal(people who abuse their authority)will jump out and devour them.

[@christ-Revealed]

Freewill makes us an image of God, literally being concrete in flesh and blood makes us an image of christ as the glorified christ was flesh and bones as he told Thomas. Image of God is carrying the name of God, his character of righteousness, peace, joy, life and light.

[@marcusg6904]

We don’t have free will and CHRIST didn’t either.

[@SF-zc6nh]

The mandate to subdue seems similar to the rewards spoken by Jesus in Revelation 1 & 2 to those who overcome. To subdue, to overcome.

[@robinallison54]

Chapter 1 is the written plan of what He will do and chapter 2 is the plan in action. It's what He actually did.

Why is there music for the first 3:00 and we then join the conversation mid-stream? What happened to the Image of God material at 0:47?

[@M.ELIZABETHCC11]

For me, to be created as the image of God Is in the capacity we have to expand the concept of kindness through all the structure of life.

[@Anabee399]

I agree. Biblical Prophecy tells us that we are living in the final days. It's not safe anywhere at all times. Evil is at its worst. Yet God is Almighty, and His people must stand up for righteousness.🙏🛡️

[@jakeofalltradesmusic]

It's been like this. From what I can tell of stuff with earthquakes and blood moons and famines and wars, etc... These things have always happened, and so we must always be alert for Christ's coming... Not just looking for the sign and then trying to get our acts together, as if we were cramming for an exam.

I agree with your characterization of subduing, I would however take that a step further in saying that part of what initially made the earth "tohu wabohu" is that evil elohim such as the satan existed upon it, and through mankind's existence "the visible image of the invisible God..." (Col. 1:15) would come and SUBDUE the evil elohim "bind the strong man" and "plunder his goods" (Matt 12:29) by His death and resurrection. Thus Christ the ultimate Human, God in a Bod would subdue the earth and conquer Satan's territory which is the earth itself, and the human race in slavery to sin and death, and first He has subdued us by freeing us from that slavery by His death and resurrection, but He is also going to come and completely finish the subduing of the earth. Also in Genesis 2 it doesn't appear at all in either the Hebrew or the English that animals were made after humans, it looks as though God already recognizes Adam's need, so He has Adam NAME the animals to awaken ADAM'S recognition of his own need, and in that he sees that he does not have a companion of his own. I would have to disagree with your interpretation of God's breath in Genesis 2 as being related to our ability to reason and our higher intellectual abilities. If you read that point in context, it says that only after we had received the breath of God were we "living souls." To LIVE in John 17, Jesus says is to KNOW the One true God and Jesus Christ Whom He has sent. God promises man that when he eats of the fruit, He will "surely die" so it seems that the BREATH of God is His own Holy Spirit which He gave to us to live and function and be in co-dependent relationship and even PARTNERSHIP with God. However when we ATE the fruit, we REJECTED God's diving life, and became DEAD to God, and fell into slavery to sin and death. I would say that there is no reason that only because of the surrounding context of subduing and being fruitful and multiplying, the image of God cannot ALSO refer to our reasoning and intelligence.

[@christianblack9426]

Also, the ULTIMATE Holy Icon and graven Image of God that we walk past with reverence is of course God's graven Image Himself, Jesus Christ, Who came to restore the Spirit of God within us, by fulfilling the old Covenant, and putting us under the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8).

[@mo86r97]

It started off by identifying the biblical inferences to roles of historical kings and emperors as gods whose words brought creation into existence like god. Strangely it didn’t maintain that bit of revelation instead deviated into the infusion of divinity in humans and its empowerment as rulers but denying god likeness or attempting to be god, which is the essence of sin, as a result. There is much acquired knowledge but no revelation of what the “image” means which explained the disconnection and illogicality in the narrative. Finally it led to the devolvement of the kingdom of god to domesticated rulers in people. Mat 25:12 But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I do not know you.

Humans once knew the earth to be flat and they knew that as fact. They they found out the earth was round now they know that as facts. Point I’m making is that facts can change.

[@reykayo]

Verse actually says man was made in the shadow of God. Meaning we are a restriction of God. Without this shadow there would be no room for man. God withdrew His unveiled presence to create the vessel of our existence. Because of the closeness of of the word shadow and imagine kabbalistically we can use the idea of 'equivalency of form' to gain further understanding to the nature of this shadow. The reason this word was translated to "image" in the Septuagint was because of this understanding passed down in The Oral Torah which the 70 wanted to forefront this understanding when they were forced to hand a transition over....just like the first of the 10 Commandments where God just state's His sovereign title and say's nothing else...the ”have no other god's..." is just be understood in that decoloration and was passed down through The Oral Torah.

I guess we shall see if this comes to pass. Deuteronomy 18:17-22 17 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘What they have said is right. 18 I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell the people everything I command him. 19 I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf. 20 But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’ 21 “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the Lord?’ 22 If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared.

X-Files Humans vs. Alien Vampires Humans (love) are made in the image of good (god). The hostile alien vampires (greed) are made in the image of dogs, wolves and pigs, Question. Why are the evangelical counting corpses using the bible a springboard to perform somersaults to do the exact opposite of "love their neighbors" and "treat others like they want to be treated"? Answer. This is sick. Because these simple concepts are too far out there to grasp for vampires. Vampires (greed) who suck the joy out of life have joined the zombies who eat the futures of their children. Zombie Apocalypse is here and happening now. Lead into gold Tears into roses Weapons into ploughshares Or at least weapons into pianos, paint brushes and joy creating stuff like that.

Genesis 1 is Lucifer and the fallen angels. They made man in their image. Man is an idol. 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.

@@canucktruckerbear just because a poem seems insignificant to you, doesn’t mean it’s not extremely spiritual and meaningful tho those who wrote the God inspired scriptures. And I have be listening to the Bible project for over 5 years a long several other biblical scholars who who can read Hebrew and Greek and their claims seem to be factually solid. It’s seems like their biggest flaw is that it doesn’t align neatly with western evangelical conservatism. Apparently a Godly understanding of justice and righteousness is woke these days. I don’t think God roasts people for being “woke”. Calling everything you don’t understand a like a hell hole is helping no one. Our faith isn’t a team sport.
