The term "man-whether" is not a direct phrase found in the Bible, but it can be understood as a concept relating to the nature and condition of humanity as depicted in the Scriptures. This entry explores the biblical understanding of humanity, its creation, fall, and redemption, as well as the moral and spiritual responsibilities of mankind.

Creation of Man

The Bible begins with the account of creation, where God creates man in His own image. Genesis 1:26-27 states, "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.' So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." This passage highlights the unique status of humanity, endowed with the image of God, which includes aspects of rationality, morality, and the capacity for relationship with the Creator.

The Fall of Man

The narrative of the fall in Genesis 3 describes how sin entered the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. This event had profound implications for all of humanity, introducing sin and death into the human experience. Romans 5:12 explains, "Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned." The fall resulted in a broken relationship with God, a marred image, and a propensity towards sin.

Redemption and Restoration

Despite the fall, the Bible presents a message of hope and redemption through Jesus Christ. The New Testament reveals that through Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection, humanity can be reconciled to God. Romans 5:18-19 states, "So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous." This redemption is available to all who believe in Jesus Christ, offering a restored relationship with God and the promise of eternal life.

Moral and Spiritual Responsibilities

The Bible emphasizes the moral and spiritual responsibilities of mankind. Ecclesiastes 12:13 summarizes this duty: "When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: Fear God and keep His commandments, because this is the whole duty of man." Believers are called to live lives that reflect the character of God, pursuing holiness and righteousness. The teachings of Jesus, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), provide guidance on how to live in accordance with God's will.

The Destiny of Man

Scripture also addresses the ultimate destiny of humanity. Those who accept Christ's offer of salvation are promised eternal life with God, as seen in John 3:16 : "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Conversely, those who reject this offer face eternal separation from God, as described in passages such as Matthew 25:46 : "And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

In summary, the biblical perspective on "man-whether" encompasses the creation, fall, redemption, and ultimate destiny of humanity, highlighting the profound love and grace of God towards His creation.1536. ei tis -- he that, if a man, whether any, whosoever.
