The Beginning of The End

         Imagine.Pay close attention to this word. Imagery and the use of the imagination are traits that belong exclusively to us humans as a part of the power that God gave to us. In the beginning, as per Genesis chap 1 vs 26-27, we read "And God said, let us make make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the Image of God created he him; male and female created he them."                                                      
         Notice that we were created in the [a]image and [b] likeness of God. The use of our imagination has been the source of all our inventions, sustained life throughout all manner of catastrophes, inspired countless songs of love, started wars, and has been the source of countless deeds of both good and evil.                                                                                             
          Three very important questions have not been answered by the "preachers and pastors of today's churches; however, they certainly are not to be blamed, you see, most people attend places of worship for  two basic reasons, 1] to worship the Lord, and 2] to ease their sense of guilt at whatever pleasures they may have had during the week, of which they hold themselves guilty and wish to assuage their consciences.                                                               
           These three questions are for the realm of scholars and those who are inquisitively seeking God and the answers to what is written in the books of the Bible. [Bible is the ancient Greek plural for books]- hence the word bible for the compilation of books which comprise the Bible.                                                                                                                    
           Question 1] Who is us and our that God was speaking to when he said "Let us make man in our image and likeness"? It would seem as if a group of Highly intelligent beings [similar to our modern scientist's] gathered together at the inception of our world/planet to create man in their likeness[to be alike] and image to look like and be similar to - these are they that would be called the 'Elohim' in Hebrew 'Ah-la-ha-yam'. Question 2] leads also to the tie in with question 1 in that last part of vs 27 "created he them".                                                      
          This would make it clear that there were others on this planet before Adam was made since he created 'them'. And the third is this,Since "male and female created he them' should not women be considered equal to men and not subservient,since they too, also have access and use of the powers of imagination? of course the programming of mankind from birth has always taken a long and arduous path towards change in thinking, sometimes to involving the death of the forward thinker. Yes, science and the belief in God can come together,when those that are considered the leaders of the scientific community and those  in charge of the secular world [those who do the issuing of ordaining ministers recognized by society] come together and admit that both subjects are definitely not far apart. To be continued, until then, live well, be happy, make love, we bid you Peace.
