To God's Image…

                                       

God authorized to us and qualified in an amazing way; there exists an intellectual capacity and a rational faculty in the man that only is a result of the God's work, all that is registered, stored and executed by what the science calls memory, but for too much that we exercise it; this one is limited, because though it guards and registers fragments of our life, it is not capable of storing and registering the whole same one; but as well as it is limited, inside his limitation it manages to be surprising, guarding in it imaginations and dreams, of which we never manage to be a part physically.

 

The writing says that we were done to image and God's similarity. What beautiful privilege to us; to know that though only we are similarity or God's image, we take with us features of his divine genetics, origin and source of our powers and capacities. Certain that we are not the God's only creation and that there exist other forms of life that were before that the man, as the animal and vegetable kingdom, but for most that are A God's creation, exists in the man a great difference in comparison to these kingdoms. For more precise being we will refer only to the animal kingdom.

 

Though the members of the animal kingdom are born with certain capacities like: recognition, instinct, reflexes and others, has a limitante before us.

But: What is that distinguishes the man in comparison to other species? What does communicate and interacts? What is protected? What does one organize? Certainly they to his way also do it.

Only it is necessary to look at a herd of birds that furrow the sky with the organization that sometimes we lack, to observe the reaction and the instinct that the deer has when he feels the trap of a beast, or to be spectator of the plan of the viper to swallow to the rodent, beside to astonishing at the capacity that has the eagle to measure the flight and the speed of the decrease on to having taken to the viper that it victimized to the rodent.

What distinguishes us, goes more there of an intellectual capacity and a rational faculty; there exist certain attributes that we have received of our God that they locate us far below of a secondary plane before Him, but that simultaneously  themselves us place very over any other form of life.

 

There exist in God three classes of attributes, the inherent ones - those that he alone possesses, are incommunicable, intransferible as his eternity, inmutability, immensity; there exist others that inside his nature belong infinitely superior to any mortal being, as his omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, sovereignty and wisdom, so called active attributes. But moral attributes exist also in him that unlike previous, these are bequeathed, reflected and deposited in the man - as the love, the kindness, justice, honor, mercy.

This is a clear example of which the alone man received features, sparkles of his essence, which endorse the affirmation of his word - " We Do the man to our image, agrees to our similarity. We understand the man as image and similarity because this one is a blurry projection of the real essence.

The animal kingdom certainly has a creative capacity, but the difference takes root in that while the bird continues constructing the same nest that the birds of centuries ago were constructing without this one modifies and assures of a better way to his pigeons; the man constant modifies and assures his survival, reconstructs and looks for better standards of living, takes now major precautions thanks to the mistakes that before committed this one or his ancestors.

 

 

What distinguishes the man of other creatures, is the use of the reason!

 

Thomas Hobbes in epochs of the renaissance [XVIth century]:

We unlike this kingdom, not only were born with certain capacities but besides we acquire others. For example: the man to acquired the aptitude to fly but not for having born with a couple of wings as the birds, but has invented the way of doing it by means of airplanes, to submerge in the water and to be transported by her did not need to suffer an evolutionary change as mammals of warm blood, but learned to construct boats, ships and submarines.

This indicates us the limitation that the animal kingdom has in comparison to the human being, but as these has a limitante before us, the same rule is fulfilled in man in comparison to his Creator. The man affirms that reason cannot exist without effect, and is that on having observed the order and the big of the creation, we cannot deny that before so immeasurable work, there has to exist a wisdom and still major intelligence that gave effect.

 

Beautiful is to know, that though we have a limited image we have an image simultaneously Superior.
