First of all, you are made in the image or likeness of God, (Gen. 1:26,27) and that gives your life dignity and value that sets you apart from all living things. Because you have been created by a powerful and loving God means you are important. Not because of your educational level, your bank account, your social position, or any other human standard. You are important because you are a creature of God. As one observed: "One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man." Being made in God's likeness gives you reason to live.

Girdlestone, Robert Baker: Synonyms of the Old Testament The Name ELOHIM and the Trinity. It is clear that the fact of the word Elohim being plural in form does not at all sanction polytheism - but we have now to consider whether it may fairly be taken as a testimony to the plurality of Persons in the Godhead. It is certainly marvelously consistent with this doctrine, and must remove a great stumbling-block out of the path of those who feel difficulties with regard to the acknowledgment of the Trinity in Unity. Great names are to be cited for taking a step further, and for adducing, as a proof of the Trinity, the words I Elohim said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness' (Gen. 1.26). Father Simon notes that ... in the plural form Elohim may be expressed more accurately by the word Godhead or Deity than by the word God; and there is certainly nothing unreasonable in the supposition that the name of the Deity was given to man in this form, so as to prepare him for the truth that in the unity of the Godhead there are Three Persons. ... ... https://www.bible.ca/trinity/trinity-Girdlestone.htm

Inherited Sin: definitions and official creeds ... We believe that sin is of two kinds: original sin or depravity, and actual or personal sin. We believe that original sin, or depravity, is that corruption of the nature of all the offspring of Adam by reason of which everyone is very far gone from the original righteousness or the pure state of our first parents at the time of their creation, is averse to God, is without spiritual life, and inclined to evil, and that continually. We further believe that original sin continues to exist with the new life of the regenerate, until eradicated by the baptism with the Holy Spirit. We believe that original sin differs from actual sin in that it constitutes an inherited propensity to actual sin for which no one is accountable until its divinely provided remedy is neglected or rejected."

Review: New International Version Bible: avoid ... for the reader what the passage really means. Any version that has as its primary goal to convey God's thoughts rather than His words will exhibit a strong tendency for man-made doctrines to find their way into the actual text, and that is exactly what we observe in the NIV. This can be illustrated using the NIV's well-known systematic mishandling of the Greek word sarx, which literally means "flesh." Consider Rom. 8:8. The Greek manuscripts agree that the text literally reads (preserving word order): "the ones and in the flesh being, God to please cannot." The literal versions render this into English as: "So they that are in the flesh cannot please God." ... In Rom. 5:14 the NIV has: "Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come."

Why Are There Different Versions Of The Bible??? A better word than "version" is "translation". The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament in Greek. If every man could read Hebrew and Greek, then we would have no need for an "English version". Most people can't read Greek, "It's all Greek to me"! We must rely, therefore, upon men who are fully fluent in English and Greek. These "scholars" read the original Greek Bible and come up with an English equivalent. This process is called translation. We have all seen a foreign diplomat give a news conference through the help of a translator. One translator may choose different words or sentences, but the message is identical. Translation is a reliable science of communicating between different languages. Remember, it was God Himself who created all the language barriers in Genesis 11 at the Tower of Babel. God is satisfied that His inspired word can be maintained although translated into over 200 languages.

Questions for advocates of inherited sin Why did Jesus never teach that man was depraved or blamed mans sin on Adam. Rather he always held each man responsible for his own sin.
