上帝的形象

《The Creation of mankind》被造的人類
※The sacredness of human life人類生命的神聖性
After the Flood, God made an unconditional covenant with Noah and his descendants. This covenant was very significant. Not only was the sacredness of human life established for the first time, but it was clearly based on the fact that God made man in His own image. Therefore, to shed another man’s blood (Gen 9:6), shows not only contempt for man, but also contempt for God.
洪水之後，上帝與諾亞及其後代簽訂了無條件的約。這個約非常重要。人類生命的神聖性第一次被確立，這顯然因為人是上帝按照自己的形象受造的。 因此，流人血的（創9：6），不僅是蔑視人，更是冒犯了上帝。
創9：6凡流人血的，他的血也必被人所流，因為神造人是照自己的形像造的。
※Is it the image or the shadow of God? 上帝的形象
The Hebrew word for “image”, צֶלֶם (tzelem), is a beautiful example of how Hebrew, being a root language, works. This word צֶלֶם is related to the Hebrew word for "shadow" צֵל (tzel). A shadow is an imperfect image resembling the real thing which casts it. The “image of God”, tzelem Elohim, can therefore also be understood as tzel Elohim, “God’s shadow”, in the sense that it is an imperfect copy of the perfect real image.
希伯來語中的「形像」，צֶלֶם（tzelem），是「希伯來語根變化」的一個很好的例子。這個詞צֶלֶם與希伯來語中的”shadow”צֵל（tzel）有關。 陰影是一種不完美的形像，類似於投射它的真實物體。因此，「上帝的形象」，tzelem Elohim，也可以被理解為tzel Elohim，「上帝的影子」，因為它是完美真實形象的不完美副本。

※The illuminating power of knowledge亮光
Now we understand what exactly it means to be created “in the image of God”. Even though man’s nature is different from God’s, man is capable of resembling God’s actions: His love, His mercy, His justice.
現在我們明白「以上帝的形象」被造，是意味著什麼。即使人的本性與上帝不同，人也能夠行出和上帝的愛、憐憫、公義相似的行為。
