Episode notes
Humans as God's Image
- Humans are uniquely divine image representations of God, responsible for stewarding the world.
- This distinguishes how we treat each other, setting us apart from other species.
Sacredness of Human Life
- In Genesis 9, God permits humans to eat animals after the flood, differentiating animal life from human life.
- Shedding human blood is a violation against God because humans are made in His image.
