QUESTION SHEET God s Image Reflected (Genesis 2:25-30) "The crown of God s handiwork is human life" K.A. Mathews "Man is neither angel nor beast" - Blaise Pascal Reflections: 1. What do you believe to be the purpose for humanity? What informs your view on that? 2. Do you notice any differences between the creation of humanity and the rest of creation? If so, what are they? What does that imply about God's purpose for us? 3. How have we misunderstood the principle to 'subdue and have dominion' over creation? Are there some examples you can think of that humanity is currently caring for creation well? 4. How does Genesis 1:25-30 affect your view of the current human rights discussion?
