Humans vs animals

by David Long

"And 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 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Gen. 1:26-27). Animals weren't created in the image of God. Human beings are superior to animals. Human beings are of much more value then animals. "Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not Ye of much more value then they?" (Matt. 6:26). Human beings aren't animals and animals aren't human beings. Let's don't get those confused.
