Book Description
It is written that God said, let us make man in our own image and 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 creep 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 and called them man. There were standards that God set for man as specie called by His name and man, is expected to live by these standards. I know that you know, that when the word of God stated that God made man in His own image and likeness, it meant that He made man to be like Him in all ramifications. Therefore man can say, I am perfect because God is perfect, I am holy because God is holy, I am truthful because God is truthful, I am spirit because God is Spirit, etc. The Bible says that after the Lord God created man, He said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a help meet. And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept and He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh”. It was from the rib that God took from man that He made a woman. When He brought her unto the man, the man said, “This now is the bone of my bones and the flesh of my flesh, she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of Man”. They both stayed in the Garden naked and they were not ashamed. It was the woman that the serpent met at the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. The Bible story says that the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made and it took advantage of the weakness in the woman by encouraging her to take of the fruit the Lord God had instructed them not to eat and ate from it before giving to her husband and he also ate. After what happened between God and man in the story of creation and the failure of man to keep the dominion God granted him, God never stopped to love the woman in a special way. He told Abraham to listen to his wife Sarah and chase Hagar away. Then He went to Hagar and her son in the desert, to save them. God visited Sarah in her old age and she conceived. He remembered Rachel and she got pregnant. He answered Hannah, saved Rehab the prostitute, used Esther, Ruth, the widow of Zerepherth, Elizabeth, Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Samaritan woman and He must remember you. Yes you. When they brought the woman caught in adultery to Him, Jesus refused to look up for some time because He knew what men were doing. That woman was caught with a man, but he was not there and Jesus knew that those who brought the woman were sinners. He raised his head and said to them, let him who has no sin, throw the first stone. That was not what they wanted to hear.
