God Created Mankind in His Image And Likeness
Human beings are not like any other created thing on the Earth, because we were created to have dominion over the other created things on the Earth. God created us to be like Himself, whom have dominion over all things, visible and invisible, flesh and spirit.
No One Like God
Exodus 9:14 (KJV)
For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
No Aid For Adam (none like him: Adam was like God)
Adam was like God in the sense that there was no created thing on the earth that was like him.
Genesis 2:20 (KJV)
And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
Help meet: `ezer,ay'-zer; from Hebrew (`azar); aid :- help.
Image And Likeness
Genesis 1:26 (KJV)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Image: tselem,tseh'-lem; from an unused root meaning to shade; a phantom, i.e. (figurtive) illusion, resemblance; hence a representative figure, especially an idol :- image, vain shew.
Likeness: demuwth,dem-ooth'; from Hebrew (damah); resemblance; concrete model, shape; adverb like :- fashion, like (-ness, as), manner, similitude.
Dominion: radah,raw-daw'; a primitive root; to tread down, i.e. subjugate; specifically to crumble off :- (come to, make to) have dominion, prevail against, reign, (bear, make to) rule, (-r, over), take
God Breath Life And Mind Into Adam
Genesis 2:7 (KJV)
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
What God breath into Adam was more than the physical breath or air into his lungs, He breath life and intelligence/self awareness into man him.
Nostrils: 'aph, af; from Hebrew ('anaph); properly the nose or nostril; hence the face, and occasionally a person; also (from the rapid breathing in passion) ire :- anger (-gry), + before, countenance, face, + forbearing, forehead, + [long-] suffering, nose, nostril, snout, × worthy, wrath.
Breath: neshamah,nesh-aw-maw'; from Hebrew (nasham); a puff, i.e. wind, angry or vital breath, divine inspiration, intellect, or (concrete) an animal :- blast, (that) breath (-eth), inspiration, soul, spirit.
The Spirit In Man
Job 32:8 (KJV)
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Spirit: ruwach,roo'-akh; from Hebrew (ruwach); wind; by resemblance breath, i.e. a sensible (or even violent) exhalation; figurative life, anger, unsubstantiality; by extensive a region of the sky; by resemblance spirit, but only of a rational being (including its expression and functions) :- air, anger, blast, breath, × cool, courage, mind, × quarter, × side, spirit ([-ual]), tempest, × vain, ([whirl-]) wind (-y).
Man: 'enowsh,en-oshe'; from Hebrew ('anash); properly a mortal (and thus differing from the more dignified Hebrew ('adam)); hence a man in general (singly or collectively) :- another, × [blood-] thirsty, certain, chap [-man], divers, fellow, × in the flower of their age, husband, (certain, mortal) man, people, person, servant, some (× of them), + stranger, those, + their trade. It is often unexpressed in the English Version, especially when used in apposition with another word. Compare Hebrew ('iysh).
1 Cor. 2:11 (KJV)
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Spirit: pneuma,pnyoo'-mah; from Greek (pneo); a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figurative a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implicaiton) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, dæmon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit :- ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Compare Greek (psuche).
Once God imparted nesh-aw-maw' into the first man Adam, then all who came from him and his children and so on would have nesh-aw-maw' in them. God only imparted nesh-aw-maw' directly into Adam, the man, yet his wife had nesh-aw-maw' in her as well, beacause she was taken from him.
No Nesh-aw-maw' , intellect Breath Into The Woman
Genesis 2:21-22 (KJV)
And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
God did not need to breath nesh-aw-maw' into the woman because He had already done so to the man, and because she was taken from the man, she had nesh-aw-maw' intellect/self-awareness in her as well.
Sin To Murder
Exodus 20:13 (KJV)
Thou shalt not kill.
Kill: ratsach,raw-tsakh'; a primitive root; properly to dash in pieces, i.e. kill (a human being), especially to murder :- put to death, kill, (man-) slay (-er), murder (-er).
Matthew 5:21 (KJV)
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Kill: phoneuo,fon-yoo'-o; from Greek (phoneus); to be a murderer (of) :- kill, do murder, slay.
The Hebrew wordraw-tsakh' and the Greek word fon-yoo'-o are the only words that are used when refering to the taking of a life of a humanbeing. When killing an animal the Hebrew wordshaw-khat'; is used and it means; to slaughter.
With this understanding in mind in relation to an unborn child, it would be murder to abort the fetus of a pregnant woman, since the human fetus not only have all the genetic make-up of its parents, but the most important thing of all nesh-aw-maw' . What determines our humanity is not having a perfectly formed hand, toes, feet or face for example. What determines our humanity is that we all have nesh-aw-maw' in us because that is what God breath into Adam, the man, and what Adam was so are we, the new born baby and the unborn fetus alike.
