17问：上帝如何创造人？

答：上帝造万物之后，就造男人女人（创1:27）；先用地上的尘土造了男人的身体，后用男人的肋骨造了女人（创2:22），赋予他们有生命、有理性、永存不朽的灵魂（创2:7；伯35:11；传12:7；太10:28；路23:43）；就是按祂自己有知识（西3:10）、有公义和圣洁（弗4:24）的形象创造他们（创1:27）；又将律法写在他们心里（罗2:14-15），赐给他们遵行律法的能力及统管万有的权柄，但听凭他们或顺命，或堕落（创3:6；传7:29）。

Question 17: How did God create man?

Answer: After God had made all other creatures, he created man male and female; formed the body of the man of the dust of the ground, and the woman of the rib of the man, endued them with living, reasonable, and immortal souls; made them after his own image, in knowledge, righteousness,and holiness; having the law of God written in their hearts, and power to fulfil it, and dominion over the creatures; yet subject to fall.
