What separates us from the beasts? What unites us with them? Did God create us a wholly separate species, to rule over the earth?
Many paople are confused over their true place on earth and their individual role.
The reason is that even though we were made in the "image of God", we are not God. Jesus ironically referred to this when debating some opponents, and quoting the Psalms:
"I said, 'You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.'
But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler." Ps 82:6-7
Jesus also quoted this passage in John 10, to defend his status as "son of God", but the Psalm shows that God intends that this sonship be shared among all people. The Psalm makes it clear however that the mortality of beasts is man's "natural" destination.
