Homem
A Bíblia fala sobre o homem como criação de Deus — feito à sua imagem e semelhança, mas também frágil, mortal e necessitado de redenção.
Criado à imagem de Deus
Deus criou o homem à sua imagem. Mas pelo pecado, o homem caiu e passou a depender da graça para ser restaurado.
And God-Elōhīm [Messiah Pre-Incarnate - The Living Word - The Many Powered – The Creator] 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 creeps upon the earth.
So God-Elōhīm [The Living Word of GOD] created man in his [own] image, in the image of God-Elōhīm [The Messiah Pre-Incarnate] created he him; male and female created he them.
And they heard the voice of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam (Man, ground; red; earthling) and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm [The Living Word - The Many Powered] amongst the trees of the garden.
For what reason, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
And so it is written, The first man Adam (Man, ground; red; earthling) was made a living soul; the last Adam (Man, ground; red; earthling) [was made] a quickening Spirit [Ruach].
However that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord - Kurios from heaven.
As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Fragilidade humana
O homem nascido de mulher é de poucos dias e cheio de inquietação. Deus conhece nossa fragilidade e cuida de nós.
Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble.
Shall mortal man be more just than God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
What [is] man, that youi should magnify him? and that youi should set youi heart upon him?
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that youi are mindful of him? or the Son of Man, that youi visit him?
Man’s goings [are] of the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; how can a man then understand his own way?
Renovação e chamado
Despojados do velho homem e revestidos do novo, somos chamados a buscar a justiça, a piedade e o amor.
That you2f put off concerning the former Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the Spirit [Ruach] of your mind;
And that you2f put on the new man, which after God-The Father is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Having abolished in his flesh the hatred (being an enemy), [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of two one new man, [so] making peace;
But youi, O man of God-The Father, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and he ponders all his goings.
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
A confiança errada
Maldito o homem que confia no homem. O homem de duplo ânimo é instável em todos os seus caminhos.
Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Cursed [be] the man that trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord - Kurios.
A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain) not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren;
