If you believe Genesis we are."So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27
So if we are created from the image of God, does that mean God is man or woman? Or both at the same time. I think an omnipotent being can be more than one thing at the same time. So I will go with both.
But gender identity is not my biggest issue with the idea we are created from God's image. If we were really created from the image of God we would all have omnipotent powers. Without omnipotent powers, we are very much NOTHING like the image of God.
No having omnipotent powers brings some interesting questions to my mind. If we do not have omnipotent powers, are we really morally responsible for what happens in our lives. It seems to me without omnipotent powers we have no control over our moral choices. If we have no choice over our choices, then what if all our choices are all immoral ones. Many times people are force to make choices that are clearly immoral choices because they have no choice but to choose the least possible evil from limit possible set of immoral choices.
So the question is without omnipotent power are any of us morally responsible for our lives if our choices prevent us from acting morally?
My God is far above my understanding. Considering man is imperfect, I doubt I am even close to his image.
Jesus was the son of man. Christ was Son of God. If we have any connection to God, it is spirit, not flesh.
