companions for man

In the last blog, I wrote about how God viewed pets. And used a passage in the bible that illustrated this. How is it we humans have a love for animals ? If you observe babies and young children, they always reach out to animals. What fear they show in childhood is always taught to them by adults..who had negative experiences and who pass it on to their children. So here again, I will pick passages from the bible - in fact in the very first book of the bible - the creation verses. Yes, right from the start ! Lets look at:- 1. Genesis 1:26 ' Then God said,"Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 2. Genesis 2:18 '

Then God said" It is not good for man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him". v19 and out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.'
