This is the main answer: Because he loved us and knew things would go wrong, because he's God, but wanted us to make our own decision to love him even though there would be a lot more hurt, but unforced love is better than forced.

What are the philosophy of man and god?

Man's philosophy explores topics like existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. God's philosophy typically addresses questions about the nature, characteristics, and existence of a higher being, along with the implications of this entity for human life and society. Both philosophies have a rich history and continue to inspire deep reflection and debate among thinkers.

God said "good" twice on the sixth day of creation when he created animals and then created man and woman. He saw that it was good when he created the animals and again when he created humans in his own image.


When a man finedeth a wife he finds a good thing?

This Scripture is found in Proverbs 18:22. God created Man and woman and marriage is sanctified in God's eyes. If God had not created a woman for man there would be no humans on earth today, with the exception of Adam and he would probably be miserable.


What is the Greek meaning of image of God or likeness of God?

God uses figures of speech throughout the bible to call attenention to what is important. If the ground was dry you could say 'the ground is dry' which would be fine. If you wanted to call attention to the sentence you would say 'the ground is thirsty'. This is a figure of speech. An image is representation of something greater (i.e. a picture of the rocky mountains is a represenation of something greater) and is used as a figure of speech. John 4:24 says 'God is spirit'. The 'image' of God is spirit. In the begining God formed man's body out of the dust of the earth. He formed our body because the earth was already created. He made man a soul, which is breath life, because a soul was already created (Gen 1:21). He created them in His image, which is spirit. When the bible says 'God created man and woman in His image' He means He created man and woman to have a spirit, which is the image of God. I encourage you to read Genisis chapter 1 and see for yourself the defitnitions of formed, made, and created.


Who was the first person born in the Earth?

AdamHe was the first person God made.ANSWER 2:Possibly a trick question... Since Adam wasn't "born" but according to Judeo-Christian belief was created fully formed, then according to the Bible (and same beliefs), it would have been Adam's firstborn named Cain. Also, he would not have been born IN the earth."In the beginning, God created 'man,'that is, mankind's ancestor-Adam. He was with form and image and full of vitality and vigor, and even more had God's glory with him. That was the glorious day God created man, God created man. Then from Adam was 'roduced 'Eve-who was also the ancestor of man. So, the men God created were full of God's breath and laden with God's glory. So, the men God created were full of God's breath and laden with God's glory."
