DNA - Uniqueness in Creation and in Humankind
No one cares to see clones or monotony and neither
d
oes God! That is why the Almighty God created
within the genes of our original parents, Adam and Eve, the unique differences that would be found in
the billions of their off-spring, and within each and every human being! Notice this in the following
Scriptures:
“The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His
habitation, He looks over all the inhabitants of the earth; He FASHIONS THEIR
‘HEARTS’ INDIVIDUALLY; ...”
(Psalm 33:13-15).
The meaning of ‘heart’ as found in Strong’s Concordance
(# 3820)
, and the New Bible Dictionary
(page 509)
, is used widely in Biblical usage for the feelings, the will, and even the intellect, it is likewise
found in the center of anything, such as the mind, understanding and wisdom. It is the heart that makes
a man what he is. The heart comes the nearest of the New Testament terms to mean “PERSON.”
When we connect the meaning as given here with the above Scripture where God fashions their
HEARTS ‘INDIVIDUALLY’, we can know it means the DNA found in each and every person, his and her
blood, fingerprints, facial features, speech, – everything about the person!
This individual uniqueness will be retained with that same spirit that God preserves after leaving the
human at death
(cf. Ecclesiastes 12:7).
The awesome greatness of God is beyond human comprehension!
The Spirit in Man
In a taped sermon played in the Church by Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, he said
when God blew into the nostrils of Adam the breath of life this was also the spirit
in man
(Genesis 2:7)
. This connects with the human brain, and thus: a living and
thinking mind of a human being. He then said the spirit in man was then passed on
to all of Adam’s descendants from him.
Please note the duality found here:
"As the physical male sperm finds its way to, and unites with the
nucleus in the ovum, so God’s Spirit enters and combines with the
human spirit and MIND.”
MYSTERY OF THE AGES,
Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong, Pages 257-268:
“Within each spirit of all human beings is the pre-designed DNA that
determines the uniqueness of each and every person in every part of his or her
very being that comes through the genes.”
THE INCREDIBLE HUMAN POTENTIAL
, Mr. Herbert W. Armstrong,
Excerpts from Pages 78-88
“This spirit acts among other things, as a COMPUTER, adding to the brain
the psychic and intellectual power. . . This ‘computer’ gives the brain instant
recall of whatever portion of millions of bits of knowledge may be needed in the
reasoning process.
