Why God Became Man
Strauss’ background of having been a teacher for several years, a great Pastor from 1939-1963, and a well-known author of the at least 19 biblical books; by far gives such a strong foundation, of his thorough knowledge of Gods purposes for and on the earth as a Man! In the article WHY GOD BECAME MAN Strauss in the onset attempts to reveal the incarnation of the person of God, not only being Son, He also was God, who became a fleshly being. Strategically, Strauss compiled his article by beginning to define and defend the incarnation to set up a foundation to examine God’s reasons for coming to us in human form. Through John 1 we see God’s reality being transformed into a man. The Word for the Old Testament people wasn’t just enough now we have the word walking among us, which now is within us. The incarnation through Strauss article is proven to show his readers the importance of why God Himself had to experience are temptations and order to really know what we as humans feel. The fall of man, in Genesis 3 can only depict but so much but it gives great detail and solidifies the quality of Gods sovereignty but His un-acceptance to sin. Therefore; the second Adam comes in the person of Jesus which is also God in demonstration on how to live but not being unaware of the human feelings. Satan is defeated forever salvation is now available according to Hebrews 2:9,14-15. Finally the process of restoration to humanity through the work of incarnation is being set into motion; and Jesus throne is now what we strive for because we have been given the invitation to sit at the right hand of the father God along with Jesus ephesians 1:20.

The incarnation is and was created to have direct access to the Father, through the Father Jesus who is God; though, this can only be seen through salvation and the Holy Spirit of truth again found as read in John 14. However; throughout the article Strauss displays this on and off orthodoxy riddled with odd rhetoric and

    According to Soloveitchik there are two Adams in Genesis, one for each account of the creation of the earth. And these two Adams are representative of two aspects of the human character. Adam I and Adam II are each archetypes that teach a lesson to the readers of Genesis, which, according to Soloveitchik, is why they are both included in the Bible. Carrying Soloveitchik’s approach to reading Genesis to the rest of the book and applying his Archetype theory to other characters in the scripture yields a very interesting take on the stories of the Bible.…

    As many of us know it today as the Bible states, God created man, "he formed him from dust and breathed into his nostrils to bring him to life. He planted a garden in Eden and put the man there. Out of the ground God made every tree pleasant to see and good for food." (Nietzsche) For the serpent had told Eve that the tree of knowledge of good and evil would not harm her or Adam, they chose to eat from it, without listening to the command of God. By eating this fruit, it imposes the knowledge of good and evil on Adam and Eve and now it causes the risk of making a sin against humanity. This is where the comparison of Adam and Jesus Christ come in for it explains the sin of Adam and how Jesus Christ maybe have cursed humanity through Adam according to Nietzsche.…
