God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Special significance of the creation of male and female in the image of God: 1. It is only after God has created man that He says of all He has made: it is “very good” (1:31). This is not simply because God’s creative task is finished but because mankind is the pinnacle of all He has made. 2. The creation of man is introduced differently than other products of creative work, with the personal and deliberative expression, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.” 3. The one God who creates man as male and female deliberately uses plural references of himself (e.g., “Let Us,” “Our image,” “Our likeness”) as the creator of singular “man” who is plural “male and female.” 4. The “image of God” is stated three times in 1:26-27 in relation to man as male and female but never in relation to any other part of creation (are angels created in the image of God?). 5. The special term for God’s unique creative action, bara, is used three times in 1:27 for the creation of man in His image as male and female. 6. Man is given a place of dominion over all other created beings on the earth, thus indicating the higher authority and priority of man in God’s created design. 7. Only the creation of man as male and female is expanded and portrayed in detail as recorded in Gen. 2.

INSTRUCTIONS

Taken from Vegetarian Times (I think)  Cut apart the chicken (to avoid
small bones, do not use backs or  necks); remove skin and make slits in
the meat. If you're using tofu,  cut it into 2-inch cubes, then boil
the cubes in a covered pot for 5  to 10 minutes until they puff up and
become spongy; this enables the  tofu to absorb the sauce. Rinse in
cold water and drain.  Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch
oven or skillet. Add  butter or margarine, melt, then add the onions.
Cook over medium heat  until somewhat soft, then add garlic. When
onions are translucent,  stir in tomato paste and about 1/4 cup of
water. Strain the berbere  and add it to the mixture. Add salt. Put the
chicken or tofu in the  pot, coat with the sauce, and cover. Simmer,
stirring often to make  sure the sauce doesn't stick or burn; add water
as necessary to keep  the sauce the consistency of thick ketchup. If
you're using eggs  (traditional in doro wat), add them whole to the
mixture after 30  minutes.  Simmer on the stove top about one hour. The
sauce should be a rich,  deep red. When the dish is done, hold in a
warm oven until ready to  serve. Posted to Kitmailbox  by
