"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with god, and the word was god, and the word was with god in the beginning."
My words are not that powerful, but I am not the author of the universe
"God said 'let us make man in our own image'. So he created him. Male, and female he created them"
You can create wonderfully beautiful things, because we are creations in the image of our God. This image is not just the physical, more a more wholesome complete image. We are reflections of god's nature, though through mistakes and our desire to have dominion we ended up being drawn away. Though Christ has come to restore us into his family. We can do nothing pleasing without Christ, because everything we do apart from Him is contrary to his design that we be submitted to the Spirit.
Because God is a creator/author/writer, we are reflections of these very same attributes
PS: My name is Jake. Nice to meet you!
P.S. My name's Rose. The pleasure is all mine.
I'm not one to entirely believe (or dismiss) Shakespeare in these matters.
"What's in a name? That which we call a Rose would smell as sweet, were it called by any other name."
Names are very powerful. Especailly in the archaic sense, as meant in scriptures. Name meaning legend, or weight of the personality. So "Seas bowing down at the Name of the Lord" are bowing down not because of a simple word but rather the reputation of the person.
Names in other cultures (especially older ones) held more meaning than they do now. But we still can use them as a means of invoking reputation. "Do you know who my father is?" sort of things.
