3. God's Purpose For Creating Adam And Eve - 1
In Gen 1:27, it is written that according to God's external character, God created man, male and female. Inductively, we can conclude that God is a being of masculinity and femininity.
God, as a being of this nature, could not live alone. Therefore, He needed an object and created this universe. Therefore, what God created was one male and one female. (29)
God's internal character is formed from masculinity, God as Father, and femininity, God as Mother. Therefore, human beings and the universe created from God can be described as embodying God's dual characteristics of masculinity and femininity. (30)
God created Adam and Eve first in order to have physical being, and second to perfect His love. If Adam and Eve had become perfected substantial beings of love, God would have dwelt in them and they would have become perfect parents of love for all human beings. Then, if Adam and Eve had become the substantial parents representing God's external character and multiplied through their substantial children, they would have realized an ideal world. When an ideal world is realized through human beings, the physical world and the spirit world are connected. This was another reason for God to create man and woman.
Therefore, God would have dwelt in Adam and Eve, becoming a true and substantial Parent to all humankind. God can still use the external character of Adam and Eve to appear as a parent even when they go to the spirit world. However, you must understand that because of the fall of Adam and Eve, these ideals were not realized. (31) |
