Maybe One Day I will know all that you know .
I know nothing of myself, I do know, God loves us all. We, all got reconciled 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 by God through Son Jesus. Once I began to exercise to God, Thank you, even when I continue to sin (Not that I can't sin any longer) I see new from God's view, (2 Cor 12:2) God teaching me, not other people, not even myself. Teaching me in love and mercy given for all to become new and see new as Jesus saw to go to that cross, without any flesh fight back as Peter started to, when he pulled a sword and cut off Malchus's ear. I, saw me in Malchu's place and went, how?, when I saw Malchus's ear replaced, instantly and Jesus say okay I am ready, after rebuking Peter for doing that in the first place.
Wow, woe is me Isaiah 6:1-12

If US is God, then why the single proper pronoun, God, and not Us? US, being a plural Poper Pronoun, meaning more then One ?

If the Holy Spirit is poured out onto someone, their desire will be to love the creator for the blessing which was freely given!
Anyone who thinks differently is looking for the creature to accomplish that which only the creator is able to do.......

Psalm 37 verse 4 Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Another question for open discussion

Why did God create Human kind.?

When i first heard of God / Jesus in a Youth Group they taught God created humankind as he wanted fellowship with a species that had free will

I of course read the bible and it soon became apparent that the Angels that God created first already had free will. eg Lucifer chose to disobey.

So why?

I still not sure why , so happy to hear peoples thoughts.
God symbolizes by Adam. According to God it is inappropriate for God to be Alone.
GENESIS 2:18
18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

FAQ: How is the sacrifice of a man superior to the sacrifice of an animal?

REPLY: Human life was created in the image and likeness of God. No other
form of life came into existence with that distinction, viz: all other forms of
life were meant to be expendable, whereas human life was meant to be
sacred.

So then, a better question than the OP's might be: Why did God create
humans in the image and likeness of God?

Well; the thing is: Jesus was designated, and scheduled, for the cross before
the cosmos came into existence. (Mic 5:2, 1Pet 1:18-20 & Rev 13:8) Had he
been on track to come into the world with the image and likeness of an
animal, then the cross wouldn't had near enough value for God's purpose.

Animal sacrifices in the Temple for Atonement were teaching tools about the reality to come.
So, when the Cross came, men could be ready to be taught to learn what took place!

Let's make man in our Image
Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let us 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.

"Image" Not God the most highest Psalm 82

We, at least me, are not God, god's, yes, we are in God's image only! to me at least in belief I now see after a long walk off a short pier daily with many mistakes made and still can make them and have, yet God continues in God's love for me and everyone else as well. 1John 2:1-2, 12, 27
And each has the free choice to choose, themselves, their place of worship, or God Father in risen Son Jesus alone. For me Jesus the way, the truth and new life in the risen Son risen by God Father, and I say thank you Father, Daddy, PaPa, seeing new by Son all sin taken away for us all, John 1:29 John 19:30 to either believe it or not in thankfulness to this done work now done, Psalm 103:12, Ezekiel 36:26, fulfilled in the risen Son to stand in belief to see Col 1:21-23, new in God Father's Spirit and Truth John 4:23-24 and love all, not a few, all, everyone in truth, yes even those that have done us wrong, amazing I assuredly have not made that up, knowing the first born me can't do that , Love all as is done by God in Son first
Ask Father for Daddy's imputed Love of 1 Cor. 13:4-7, and be new seeing new and no more fighting in you too. The same as shown us all, when Jesus went to the cross without any flesh fight back, you think?

It was our immaterial, invisible souls that were created in God's image.
Later, came the bodies for those souls to inhabit.

The human soul was created in God's image.

Colossians 1


13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

That's a lot to read and i was trying to find a summary and on his website it says that we are participants in this war which started in Heaven.
I have heard this interpretation too from our church but i think the OP has an axe to grind maybe. Or maybe not.
I just offered my piece of the axe by saying that No Doubt in this world would take away my faith in God. He knows what He is doing and i'm okay with His mysteries.
So when people want to throw doubt, then this is my answer. Be at peace with God's mysteries.

What if Eden was really in The Hevenly realm and not on Earth ?
That would make many comments invalid!
Yes, i agree with this and it's my personal favorite. It's a realm where physical bodies are configured in a way to stand in front of God's Holiness just like Adam and Eve were and when they were banished, there was an angel with a flaming sword there to prevent them.
So they, were the only 'hybrids' if you will between dimensions.
Of course there isn't anything in the Bible to suggest this but it's my favorite thought after reading the Bible.

What if Adam and Eve were created in The Heavenly realm ?


Perhaps You need to read The 2nd. Surah of The Quran for Your answer.
Koran? My friend, i don't want to say a whole lot here but where i come from, Muslims and Christians live in peace and harmony, most of the time.
The Muslims did some burnings of the churches in the early 90s but they're forgiven.

I wounder how many condemn The Quran who have never read It ? ?
I'm trying to not do this with you but since you posted it here then let's discuss it.
The Koran is a bad Copy/Paste of the Bible.
Reason being, they say that the crucifixion of Jesus was a hoax.
This makes the Koran the first Flat-Earther in terms of mindset when they discount personal testimony of 500 people other than Jesus's closets friends and family.
Also, what do you think the Romans were? Amateurs who didn't know how to kill people?
Have you seen an analysis by Lee Strobel on this?

There's a lot to say here but i can't take a book seriously when it discounts personal testimony.
Wish you all the best and may God bless you in your journey.

It's worth it Brother. I was a calvie and it changed me.

If we want the truth, it takes time, dedication and humility.( not saying you don't have these.)
There is a free booklet available online.
The Angelic Conflict rages around us.

It is also good to hear it being taught one piece at a time.
It's like learning algebra after you had just mastered simple math.

It is a must for anyone who wants to have inner peace, by understanding why we see so much conflict in the world around us.
