1. Genesis 1:28 supports dominion mandate.
And God blesses them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

2. God gave us dominion over ever living thing that God has created. I believe cloning is wrong and that we dont have the power to start a life. Only God does.

1. Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
2. Yes, i think there is a limit on dominion mandate. You should make people way he intended them to be bu sexual reproduction. Not cloning.

1.) 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

2.)Yes because cloning humans is against Dominion Mandate. Cloning is actually trying to go against God's laws and creating your own sort of human.

1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

2. Yes, because even though the bible doesn't specifically say no cloning, i don't think that its what God intended when he said to multiply the earth. We should be multiplying by mating not cloning.

The two scriptures that reference that support of the dominion mandate is "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth". Genesis 1:28, and
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth". Genesis 1:26.

2.There are no limitations to the dominion mandate, God gave man to rule over the animals and He gave us a mind to think on our own and He gave us other people to be together and cloning others to have another self, but God gave us our own individual body, not another us , but our own.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

I don't think cloning is a limit to dominion mandate. But i do not think that human cloning is right because God made each of us to be individual and not have a clone that has our same DNA.

1. Two scripture references that support the dominion mandate are:
Genesis 1:26
"ge, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Psalms 8:4,6
"8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou vsitest him?8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:"
2. I think that no matter what humans will have dominion over the earth, but I also think that doesn't mean we should abuse our privilege and thats we should still take care of our animals.

1. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth , and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28

2. No, because God said that we have dominion over every living thing but you shouldn't clone people because God wants use to reproduce in the right way.

rene said...

1.) Genisis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


2.)yeah i think that there are certain limitations that we should take because we dont need to be messing with cloning and stuff so we should prevent it from happening.

1. Genesis 1:26-28

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.” And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Matthew 28:18-20

And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

2. I think that God should be the only person that has authority over man and the only one that can create us. Man creating man is like we are trying to be as high as God and He clearly states that we do not have the same authority that He has.

1) Genesis 1:26-And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:28-And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

2) Well i think that God might not want us to clone humans and each other because he told us to be fruitful and multiply in subdue but in the right way not artificially. He also told us to have dominion over the animals and the earth but he never said that we could have dominion over each other so he never said we were suppose to clone. In Genesis 1:26 God says to let us make man in our own image in our own likeness. So it basically tells us right there the limitations of human clothing; that we should not make artificial humans.

1. Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Genesis 1:28, And God blesses them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

2. Yes, God has a plan for all of us and we should stick to the plan he has for us even though we may not know we should not clone cause we are who we are.

mathew said...

1.)genesis 1:26-1:27 are scriptures that support the dominion mandate.
2.)its limited to humans.

1. Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

2. There are no limitations but there is a line to dominion mandate because God gave us free will and gave us superiority over the animals, plants, etc. The line I think is just your personally beliefs to something like cloning some think it's wrong so think it's right.

1. Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."

Genesis 1:22
God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."

2. Yes, although God did command us to rule over the earth and multiply. Cloning humans is taking the dominion mandate a little far. God is one who creates life not us.

1. a) Genesis 1:28, And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

b)1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.


2. No God gave us ou dominion over the earth. Since God put us there we can never depart.

1.)genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

genesis 1:29 "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."

2.) Yes we only have control of things that are made naturally we are in control of every living thing, not everything. we cannot play God and create new life.

2. Cloning is a limitation to the dominion mandate because when God said to multiply and replenish the earth he meant to multiply hte way he originally planned it, he wouldn't want clones being made when they wouldn't have a soul and no chance of heaven, or dying of a disease at a very young age.

amy said...

1. a. Genesis 1:26-28
b. Genesis 9:1-5
2. Yes, i think there are limitations to the mandate because cloning is not natural. it goes against everything God talks about. cloning is messing around with the way God intended things to be which is never smart.

1. genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

genesis 1:28 - And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

2. No, the bible tells us to have domminion over everything, so we can do what ever we want.

sisco said...

1. Two verses-

Genesis 1:26-28 and Genesis 9:1-5 are the principal Biblical passages used to prove the validity of this mandate. The key question to be answered is whether these passages teach the dominion mandate as understood by Christian Reconstructionism. The thesis of this article is that these Biblical passages do not teach a social or cultural domination of the world by Christians before the bodily return of Christ.


2. there definitely is, God gave it to us as a sign of his glory and mercy and that life is only through him.

1.) 26 ¶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

2.) yeah, the limit is that we are to reproduce by ourselves, and let the animals and plants do their own dirty. but we shouldn't have to get all sciencey and clone them, how do you think they like it?

michael louder said...

1. Genesis 1:28. I think that gen 1:28 supports the dominion mandate. "God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth.

2. I think god gave us a dominion over every thing that god created

i dont think that cloning is a limit to dominion mandate. i think that human will always have dominion. but we shouldnt abuse our priviledges

pazialondon said...

1. In Genisis it provide information on dominion mandate. In Genesis 1 God tells Humans to be fruitful and to multiply so that we can replenish the earth. same thing with animals.

2. We have dominion over all living things. Cloning and slective breeding are wrong because it is messing with God's creation.

2.Yes, you shouldn't be able to clone and mess with what God created. So you should have limitations to he dominion mandate.

jordy said...

1. Nehemiah 9:37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

2. God gave us the power to rule over everything except man just animals
.

michael herrington said...

Genesis 1:28 tell us how god created man not that man created man.This is a verse that clearly supports dominion mandate.


also in Genisis 1:27 it sais that God created man in his own image.

I believe that cloning is wrong because it clearly sais in the bible that god gave life to man no that man gave life to another man.

Genesis 1:28 supports dominion mandate.
And God blesses them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

God told us to control and care for all living organisms.

Genesis 1:28 "be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth".
2)yes, because i think that God created us in his own image we should not clone humans because that makes us higher then GOD.

1.)Genesis 1:28 not only supports the dominion mandate it is the dominion mandate.And God blesses them, and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: Have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26 gives us dominion over the seas land and air. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

2.) I honestly dont know...God gave us dominion to take care and rule justly with the animals and the earth.Saying that i do believe that there is a limit.

1. Psalm 8:4,6 "Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands."
Genesis 1:28 "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

2. Well, God gave us dominion over everything, so I don't think there's any limitations.
