What are some of the characteristics of man and woman as they were originally created by God in Paradise?

Answer 1

I believe that Adam and Eve were created in the perfect image of God. Since everything that was created was perfect. Once sin had entered the universe everything in it was affected by it. God told Adam and Eve that they would die. They had no idea what death was. They obviously did not die right there on the spot, but even the cells in there bodies had started to deplete and deteriorate the moment they disobeyed God. I believe that the five senses of man, sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste were at one time one hundred percent, and now have deteriorated quite a bit since the beginning. Our minds capabilities were being used at 100 percent of its capacities. At the present scientists say we probably use only 2 percent. Our bodies were perfect and were designed never to die. One day they will be made new again, and being a child of God , I certainly cannot wait for that moment.

Unlike the idea of our evolving over vast amounts of time, the Scripture clearly shows man created fully grown in God's image unlike the animal or plant kinds, with a complete language, the ability to think and chose for themselves, and dominance over everything on the Earth:

Genesis 1:26-31New King James Version (NKJV)

26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[a] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

29 And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food. 30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food"; and it was so. 31 Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Answer 2

Both man and woman were created by God in His image, equal in value and dignity. They were created to complement each other, with unique strengths and characteristics that together reflect the fullness of God's image. They were also created to have a harmonious relationship with each other and with God.
