Part 8 – What is the difference? Animals vs Human being
What is the sixth sense?
Sixth, seventh, not about the numbers.What is the difference an animal and human being?
Remove all the complexities. Let’s get at fundamental level.
Look at a bird.
- It is born.
- Grows,
- learns to gather,
- Finds a pair,
- Builds a nest(house, just the complexity and scale differ to humans)
- Makes kids (kutties)
- teaches its kids to fly and to gather
- grows old
- dies ( I remember vadivelu comedy here:)
We can say the same for a man (and woman).
What is the difference?
Is there a difference?
Make a guess…. and there is a difference and will say from Bible. But want to from you.
Make a guess..
Is there is a difference?
If so, what?
Some have suggested Cognitive thinking separates humans from animals.
What is cognitive thinking?
Cognitive processes include
thinking, knowing, remembering, judging, and problem-solving.
And this crow exhibits all of this.
Sees a problem (gap analysis), and see an opportunity, and innovation.
Is that not called innovation today?
So, what is the difference?
Genesis 1:27 English Standard Version (ESV)
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
John 4:24 English Standard Version (ESV)
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Genesis 2:7 English Standard Version (ESV)
7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
God is Spirit, We are created in His image. God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living creature. Bible does not say that for animals.
HE breathed and we became alive. Who breathed?
God breathed in Adam and adam became alive. Adam sinned and death came.
Who breathed in again in our nostrils?
John 20:22 English Standard Version (ESV)
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Who breathed in us?
Risen Jesus Christ. RISEN JESUS CHRIST.
That is the reason, Jesus says in John 3, unless you are born-again. The second birth.
Your sin did not seperate you from God. You were born dead in the sin of Adam. You became alive by the breath of second Adam, the risen CHRIST. My Lord JESUS CHRIST.
I love you daddy, you are a good God. I love you.
Amen
