It's the Tree of Life, which is supposed to represent the ten manifestations of God in our Universe. It is also a blueprint to the human soul, as that is what is meant by that passage in Genesis that states Man was created in God's likeness. It's the soul that it was talking about, not the physical form.
It's the soul that it was talking about, not the physical form.
That's not what I got taught when I was a kid going to Sunday school. But then again, the teachings of Christianity have become so confused and confusing that it's little wonder that nobody really believes in it any longer. Oh sure, people are supposedly more religious than ever before, yet I never see any Christians out on the streets giving aid and comfort to the legions of homeless people I see every day. They're too busy driving their cars past them while talking on their cell phones to notice or care.
If they really believed in the teachings of Jesus they would be swarming the homeless with offers of aid, handing over food and providing shelter while teaching the word, but instead they rush past on their way to work or on their way home or on the way to the shopping mall. Churches are no longer places of worship and contemplation, they are social gatherings where people network and show off their new clothes and their new cars, while the preacher/minister/poobah at the altar exhorts the faithful to contribute towards construction of the new playroom for their kiddies or a new roof for the auxillery building. This is what happens when a society's faith dies.
that is what is meant by that passage in Genesis that states Man was created in God's likeness. It's the soul that it was talking about, not the physical form.
And also the mind's ability to create. What man can create, man can also destroy. The creative capacity of the mind of man is indeed a double edge sword.
