Christianity IS Geocentrism.

RE: Christianity IS Geocentrism.
(May 25, 2014 at 1:01 am)Lek Wrote: The bible does say that God created the earth for mankind and we are his most important creation here, but it doesn't say we are his greatest creation anywhere. For one thing the bible says we are below the angels. Who knows how many beings he created throughout the universe. I don't see where the vastness of the universe would raise a red flag for christians. He's no more or less God, whether he created just our solar system or an infinitely larger universe, or if he created any other beings whom he also loves. Christianity is anything but geocentric as the christian's life is to revolve around Christ, not ourselves. We are to give up our own desires for God's desire for us.

It's all in Genesis 1:28 which says:

"God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.""

Man is God's greatest creation, even greater than the angels. Why? Because the angels have no choice but to obey God. Man has free will. He has a choice of either obeying or disobeying God, and when he chooses, out of his own free will, to obey God, he is greater than the angels. The Qur'an confirms this in Surat At-Tīn [95:4] which says:

"We have certainly created man in the best of stature;"


The best of molds. And in Surat Al-'A`rāf [7:11]:

"And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated."

Both the Bible and the Qur'an say that man was God's greatest creation. Who says it wasn't? Lek.

It is also mentioned in Ephesians 2:10 as "work of art" or masterpiece. "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
