Genesis 5

Genesis 5 talks about how God made Adam in the likeness of God. Verse 2 talks about how God intended for both male and female to be blessed and become mankind! I watched this one show that talked about this fictional religious group that believed that the Bible meant the man to be worshiped over a woman. Not quite so, it's not even the other way around. The Bible made it pretty clear in the New Testament that there is really no male and female in heaven and that both men and women are meant to be equally children of God.

While on this planet, guys can sometimes be pretty much idiots and just get carried away with a pretty girl who dresses up all nicely. It's after you get to know her as a friend for awhile that maybe, she's a little bit more different than you could have imagined. One of my buddies was not quite gifted with a large brain and hasn't been too successful; he's a nice guy, but someone you would have to train for thinking more properly with pretty women. Yeah, I know what's on my mind like other guys do too with attractive women, but I choose to not act on it because the Bible says to wait until you are married to do all the fun stuff with your wife!

These guys in Genesis 5 got married while they were literally really old- like the average age for them was around 100 years old. For them, they had only lived 10% of their children-producing lives and the fun that goes with enjoying your life partner while worshiping God. Hey, it was a privilege for them, but we have something better offered at our table. We may live only about a third of our life before getting married and having kids, but it's a faster ticket for strong believers to get into heaven!
