Hey chuck, on the coattails of what you posted I think I rely a little idea I once heard (and then read in Dutch Sheet's
Intercessory Prayer...another GREAT book

)
Bible says we are made in God's image. Nobody will argue that point...what they do like to 'discuss' is what exactly "in God's image" means. *I don't *think that it means we physically look like him in any way...but that we are spiritual creatures, like he is and that we desire love, and relationship. (Yes the bible
does however say that Moses what shown God's "back parts" so take that as you will.) Before the fall, when we were complete and as God intented, that is in perfect communion with him, it would have been very hard for the animals in the garden to distinquish between Adam and God. NOT saying there will ever be confusion on who the true God is, but more of a situation like the tiger thinking to himself: "HEY, God is...no what...is that Adam, oh, Adam's coming this way!!"
Just thought I'd drop that in here... we really should have 'something' about that draws men towards wondering "What is it about [insert your name here] that is so different...so good?" Jesus certainly did. When/if we reach that place here on earth...be forewarned, that there will likely also be men trying to kill us
