1. Are you created by God?

We are not all formed by God. Only Adam was actually formed (created ) by
God. We are all offsprings of Adam.
But why this:
Jer 1:5
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth
out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations.
KJV

2. What about our soul? When did it come into existence?


3 Theories
a. Pre-existence - It was created long ago (argument: why dont we
have no remembrance of such pre-existence)
b. Creation Theory The soul is created at conception, birth or
somewhere in between.
Eccl 12:7
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it.
KJV
Isa 57:16
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for

which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of
the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
KJV

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us,
and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in
subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

KJV

generation. All sould since Adam being mediately created by God
as the upholder of the laws of propagaton which were originally
established by Him.

hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Acts 17:24-27

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is
Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any
thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him,
and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

How would you explain the following verses?


1 Cor 11:7
For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and
glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
KJV
2 Cor 3:18

18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
KJV

The Bible says that men have sinned. Does it mean that God is also a sinner?
What man is now is not man ought to be, nor is it what he once was. We see a
fallen man, whose image-bearing nature has been marred although not erased.

Gen 1:26-27

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the
cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the
earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male
and female created he them.

and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and
