PROVING IDENTITY

GEORGE L. FOWLES

IN substance, "identical" may be defined as being exactly the same, or alike. From this it logically follows that to recognize, appreciate, or understand what constitutes one's identity, it would first be necessary to appreciate and understand what it is which we are identical to or wish to discern or establish a likeness with.

In St. John's Gospel are these words (1:1,3) : "In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." Herein the Gospel indicates God as the primal or First Cause of creation, the one or only creator, creating all. Also that the Word, the Christ, or Truth, and its divinely authorized ideas express the power and laws of God.

In Genesis we read (1:26,27) : "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness....So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him."
