THE IMAGE OF GOD

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 28, 2022

            EARLIER THIS WEEK I WROTE A COMMENTARY ABOUT WHY PEOPLE USE THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AS A CURSE WORD. I SAID IT WAS SATAN WHO CURSES THE SON.

            TODAY I WANT TO MENTION ABORTION. WHY SO MANY? WHAT WILL THE SUPREME COURT DECIDE AT THE END OF THIS SESSION. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAD A GOOD EDITORIAL YESTERDAY, URGING THE COURT TO LET VOTERS DECIDE AND OVERTURN ROE.

            I AM NOT A THEOLOGIAN – AND THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING GIVEN SOME OF TODAY’S THEOLOGIANS —  BUT I THINK THIS POINT MAY BE TRUE. WHEN JESUS WAS ASKED IF HE AND HIS FOLLOWERS SHOULD PAY TAXES HE SAID “SHOW ME A COIN” AND “WHOSE IMAGE IS ON THE COIN?” “CAESAR’S” THEY REPLIED. “THEN RENDER TO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESAR’S AND TO GOD WHAT IS GOD’S.”

            WHOSE IMAGE IS ON US? IT IS GOD’S IMAGE. GENESIS SAYS WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. SO IT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT SATAN IS ATTACKING THE UNBORN AS A WAY OF ATTACKING THE IMAGE OF GOD. IT IS THE SAME WITH DIVORCE, BECAUSE MARRIAGE REFLECTS THE SPIRITUAL UNITY OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

            AGAIN, I’M NOT A THEOLOGIAN, BUT IT SEEMS A REASONABLE EXPLANATION TO ME, DON’T YOU THINK?. I’M CAL THOMAS.
