Ge.5:1 "After our image and after our likeness" (2 of 2)
"After the likeness" is settled by the word of God . Thus Adam is qualified as the son of God.( Luke 3:39) As a living soul it is correct. But after he sinned what he produced "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:" (In his likeness is different from 'after our likeness'.
After our image and after our likeness is illustrated by Adam after the creation of Eve. "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."(Ge.2:23). She is taken out of Christ. So church included both 'after our image and after our likeness'
In the genealogy we see Adam had other sons and daughters besides Seth. "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters."(5:3-4) The Spirit makes a distinction between what is holy and what is not. Sons and daughters of Adam are after the flesh while Seth sets himself in place as the double for Jesus Christ.
