Hello Lee The word But is being used here as a conjunction. The word But is used to introduce something contrasting with what has already been mentioned. Have you ever informed someone you can make yourself at home, but do not go into my room and touch my things? This is what God did. If I can say it like this, he said alright now you can eat of everything but this tree. Do not eat of this tree of knowledge of good and evil. See when God stated that man was in his imagine he was not talking about skin color he was talking about some of his attributes. Do me a favor please read my comments I made on page 2 of Chapter 1 of Genesis to Anonymous on 10 10 14 at 1 18 pm. I cannot explain it no better than that. My point is this same God that made us gave us the intelligent to use the word But as a conjunction, then why can t God use it as a conjunction? When you think about it he used it first. We would not even have words or language if God had not given them to us.
