Appreciate your point. I’m going to post on this distinction, probably on Friday (maybe next Monday). In summary, while it is true that God’s creation is unique, most theologians do also speak of creatures creating (and cultivating), though in a different and lesser way. I’ll try to explain/defend this in more detail.

Thanks for your continued interesting, encouraging, and edifying blog posts.

In seeking to be careful as God’s servants with our language and speaking the truth in love:
Would it be better to say that we as Christians “Cultivate” rather than “Create”, as God has created “all things”, but then we take what he has given/made and then “cultivate” it? God made the Garden he put Adam & Eve in, but then they were to “cultivate” and have “dominion.”

I remember Pastor Needham (he is a stickler on correct use of words) teaching a fellow believer that only God creates anything, man doesn’t. I see his point, but I wonder how far I should go with that. Should I encourage other christians to see that distinction?

Out of curiosity have you read John Flavel’s “Husbandry Spiritualized” and if so what did you think?I have only read snidbits of it.

In the love of Christ,
Stephen
