As he finished reading this verse, he laid the Bible down and said, "I now wish to call your attention to chapter I, 26th verse. Therein is stated that God made man in His image and likeness. Chapter I, 27th verse, reiterates this statement so as to more fully emphasize this great truth. We now come to the question of what is God. We all agree that God is Spirit. If this be true, then man must be spiritual and not material, else he would not be the image and likeness of God, Spirit. In chapter I, 31st verse, we read that _God saw everything He had made, and behold, it was very good._ Now I want to ask, is sin, disease, trouble, affliction, or death good? It has been said that under certain conditions sickness might be good. I also thought this at one time, but in no way can we conceive of sin as being good. Then God never made sin, neither did He make disease and death; then whence came they? Is there an evil power that creates these dreaded things? If we believe this, we will have two creators, or gods, which cannot be true. Let us see if the Bible will not throw some light on this seeming mystery. Chapter 2, 1st verse, reads: _'Thus the heavens and earth were finished and all the hosts of them.'_ Now this is all of creation, God has finished His work, yet in the same chapter a little further along we read: _'But there went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.'_ In the next verse we read: _'And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.'_ But God had finished His work some time before, at least so it was stated in some of the preceding verses. Is there a second creation, or is this simply one of the contradictions spoken of by some of our Bible critics? We can not conceive of an all-knowing God having made a mistake when He created man spiritually in His image and likeness and then later making another man materially from dust. "I wish to call your attention to the fact that the Bible does not state that this _dust man_ is made in the image and likeness of God, in fact it does not state that he was made at all, it simply says: 'And the Lord God _formed_ man of the dust of the ground.' Then this dust man at best was only _formed_ and never made. Neither does it state that God had anything to do with the forming of this dust man, as it does of the spiritual man made in His image and likeness, but states the _Lord_ God formed him.
