Genesis 1:26
(Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition)
And he said: Let us make man to our image and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.

summary:

The concept of being made in the image of God (imago Dei) has profound implications for understanding human dignity and worth. Every human being, regardless of race, gender, age, or social status, bears the image of God and therefore possesses inherent value and dignity. This foundational truth undergirds the biblical ethic of love, justice, and respect for all people. It also serves as the basis for the Christian understanding of human rights and social justice.

The phrase “in our image, after our likeness” is another critical aspect of this verse. The terms “image” (Hebrew: tselem) and “likeness” (Hebrew: demut) have been the subject of extensive theological discussion. These words suggest that humans are a reflection of God, possessing qualities that mirror God’s nature. This does not mean that humans physically resemble God, as God is spirit (John 4:24), but rather that humans share certain attributes with God. These attributes include rationality, morality, creativity, relationality, and the capacity for spiritual communion with God.

John 4: 24
(American King James Version)
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The use of the plural pronouns “us” and “our” is one of the most striking features of this verse. It has led to various interpretations throughout history. Some scholars suggest that this is a plural of majesty, a literary device used to convey the greatness and majesty of God. Others propose that it reflects the divine council, a concept found in ancient Near Eastern literature where a supreme deity consults with lesser gods or heavenly beings. However, the most compelling interpretation, especially from a Christian perspective, is that this plural language hints at the Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. While the full revelation of the Trinity is more explicitly developed in the New Testament, this verse provides an early glimpse of the complex unity of God.

Government Shutdown Clock – The White House
…Day 25 – and counting ~ this will be a new part of my posts until the gov opens back up…
“Legislative Actions:
~ Senate Votes: Senate Democrats have repeatedly blocked Republican funding bills, maintaining a unified stance against the proposed measures.
~ House Actions: The House has canceled votes and is likely to remain out of session unless a deal is reached.
Economic and Social Impacts:
The shutdown has significant economic implications, including:
~ Increased Delays: Air travel delays have surged due to staffing shortages among air traffic controllers, with daily delays rising from 5% to as much as 53%.
~ Federal Workers’ Struggles: Essential workers, like those at the Social Security Administration, are working without pay, leading to financial strain. The ongoing situation highlights the complexities of budget negotiations and the far-reaching effects of government shutdowns on both employees and the economy.”
