Genesis 3:22 – “The man has become like one of us”
(A Genesis poem by Wain)
Dear God,
“The man has become like one of us”
To which “us” did you refer?
Are you a lonely one, as some insist?
Or a loving Trinity, as others p_ _ _ _ _?
What’s wrong with being like you?
Isn’t that our ultimate aim?
Shouldn’t our mind be like yours
If not our fragile f_ _ _ _?
When are we most like you?
Is it when we do what we should?
Or is it when we alone decide
What is evil and what is g_ _ _?
Please tell me the truth.
Your servant,
Wain
HOW MIGHT GOD RESPOND?
From ChatGPT as the voice of God:
Dear Wain,
When I said, “The man has become like one of us,” I referred to the divine counsel, a conversation within the Godhead, which some understand as the Trinity. It is a reflection of the relationship and unity within the divine nature, embodying both oneness and community.
Being like Me in essence and purpose is indeed a profound aspiration. Your mind should seek to align with Mine, embracing wisdom, love, and justice. Your fragile frame, however, remains a part of your humanity, a testament to your unique journey and growth.
You are most like Me when you embody love, compassion, and righteousness. It is when you seek My guidance and live by My principles that you truly reflect My image. Deciding what is evil and what is good on your own often leads to pride and separation from Me. True goodness is found in following the path I have laid out for you.
Seek the truth in My words, and let your actions mirror the love and grace I have shown you.
With everlasting love,
God
