Herbert W. Armstrong reiterates that God is reproducing Himself, giving human beings minds(with free moral agency)with which to plan and create (reflecting godly characteristics, which animals have not been given.) The physical creation is only a clay model or prototype, an unfinished piece of God's workmanship. The spiritual creation requires the development of character, in which free moral agency coupled with the impregnation or begettal of God's Spirit,enables us to develop into His Spiritual image- members of the God family. Character development is accompanied with a great deal of stress and suffering. The Ambassador College Correspondence Course was offered on this program.
