This section is about created beings - people, heavenly beings, etc. -
which have the ability to make moral decisions, and which have the
ability for conscious reflection in a way that surpasses other created
entities (such as plants, animals and rocks).
The focus here is on the nature of these beings, as created entities.
This greatly limits the number of articles located here. Articles that
deal with human activities, moral obligations,
relationships, etc., would be found in their respective places
throughout the rest of this website.
About People: Our focus here is on people as created beings. Other sections
focus on our spiritual condition, our obligations toward other people
and God, etc.
About Angels, Spirit Beings, Demons, Heavenly beings, etc.: Contrary
to many false religions, all of these beings are created beings.
None of them co-exists eternally with God, in an eternal conflict
between "good and evil." Evil began when created beings chose to sin;
and at the Day of Justice, everything that is evil will be cast out of
the presence of God, and away from everything that is good.
How God Created People |
This is part of a commentary on Genesis 1 - 3. The
end of the first chapter and all of the second tell us about how God created
people. Note also the "Introduction" lesson,
which looks at the reason for the modern-day opposition to the Bible's
account about creation. [The link
will take you to the title page... look for the sections on Genesis 1:26+
and all of chapter 2.] |

An Examination of Fossil Man |
|
This is an older research paper (written over 30
years ago, for a high school English class) that examines some of the fake
"evidence" that has been used to "prove" the evolution of humans. By now, they
have probably invented more "evidence" - and you can do your own research to
debunk it. This paper shows that it can be easily done, if you're willing to
do the research. |

Humans, as the Image and Likeness of God (Also: The
Changes that Take Place when a Person turns to Jesus) |
|
This is part of a study on the relationship between
God, Jesus Christ and people. This specific section focuses on the
relationship between God and people (as being in the "image of God"), the
changes that occurred when sin entered the world, and the changes that occur
when a person turns to Christ - changes which make the person become
"Christ-like." The PDF file (and other articles that are part of this large
study) can be accessed on the "Title Page" (through a link at the top of the
article). |

- This individual is not actually an angel (the way we normally
understand the word), but a physical manifestation of God himself. (A
few comments about "normal" angels is also included.)

The Bible says (about people)...
- When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
- the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
- what is man, that you think of him?
- What is the son of man, that you care for him?
- For you have made him a little lower than God,
- and crowned him with glory and honor.
- You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
- You have put all things under his feet. (Psalm 8:3-6)
