: Footnotes and Supportive Scripture

After God had made all other creatures, he created man, male and female, with reasoning and immortal souls, rendering them fit to live that life for him for which they were created; being made in the image of God, in knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness; having the law of God written in their hearts, and having the power to fulfill it; and yet living under a possibility of transgressing, being left to the liberty of their own will which was subject to change.

Gen 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Gen 2:7
then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Ecc 7:29
See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.
Gen 3:6
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
Rom 2:14-15
14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
