Anthropology
Need to explore the anthropology side of this too. What does Scripture say about man and how does that compare/contrast with what Scripture says about God?
Creation not self-existent but reliant totally on God
Rev 5:11–14
Rev 5:11–14 probably belongs on this page because it distinguishes Jesus from created beings. All creatures (created things) worship God and the Lamb, which implies that neither God nor the Lamb are creatures.
Creator-creature distinction a pastoral doctrine
Dane Ortlund in his book Gentle and Lowly, chapter 17, cites passages like Isa 55:8 (in context!) to compare and contrast God’s nature and human nature. It’s a good reminder: God is not only wholly different from us; he’s infinitely more good than we are.
Categorical Distinction
R. Scott Clark in his Heidelcast refers to this as the “Categorical Distinction”.
