By looking at Creation from a bird's eye view, perhaps we can have a hint and understand better the work which God has created. In the beginning God said, Let us make man according to our image. (Gen 1:27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And throughout the Bible, looking from a macro level, we can see that the purpose of God for man was not changed. God has it in His heart to make us like Him. And the things that has happened in the past and those that are happening now and will still happen in the future all add up to that end. But we cannot really say that God has authored everything that takes place because even right now, we know we are free to do whatever we want, and we know that we do it by ourselves only and not by some controlling force from the outside. We can be persuaded and moved by some external forces, but still the decision to act is solely attributed to the individual. God has foreknowle...

You know why there are certain schools that are superior than others? It's because the curriculum there are superior and the teachers there are superior also. And concerning spiritual truth, the Lord said that the student cannot be greater than the teacher. And so it is always wise to find the best one in town and stay with him. : ) Anyway, this is actually a reply to a friend on the topic, the fallen state of man. Not that I have a Phd in this discipline but that I rely upon the Holy Ghost for revelation. So what do we mean by the fallen state of man? We say that he is spiritually dead. That I agree. But that man cannot perform any spiritual act because he is dead spiritually, because one must have spiritual life first before he can perform any spiritual act, on the logical basis that life precedes action, this I see is erroneous. So I state, it is not true that the natural, carnal, un-born again man cannot perform any spiritual act. But rather I believe that everything abou...

(Gen 2:19) And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. KJV Notice how God just let Adam have his way to be creative and give names to all that He has formed from the ground. Man indeed is delegated with power and authority. In this example passage, it is the power to create names. And whatsoever the name given, that was the name thereof. This is an example of God’s delegation of autonomous authority. He delegated that authority to man and He is not ready to supplant man’s decisions with His own. He delegated that authority and He respects that authority, He gives autonomy to that authority. Whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. It was final and binding. And so God has given Adam the free hand to name every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air...
