Genesis 1:26-31 - The Image of God

Genesis 1:26-31

NOTE: The First five minutes (or so) are missing from the recording.  What was emphasized at the beginning is that the word translated in verses 26-27, "man" is the Hebrew word transliterated, "Adam," and that word is used in these verses as a collective noun for BOTH the first man and the first woman.  Both male & female are created in God's image & likeness, emphasizing a perfect unity and harmony.  I prefer the New English Translating the word as "humankind."  Later in the Bible, "Adam" is used as the personal name for the first man.  Otherwise, the message helps in understanding what it means to be created in God's image.
