No, there is disctinction. We are not equals with Adam, and Eve. Not at all. Just as we are not equals with Jesus His Pre-Eminence.
We are all unique, yet all the same at the same time. So yes, we're not equal to others, such as Adam and Eve, or our own parents either. But at the same time, we are all the same. We share a similar nature.
And that is the point of the Adam and Eve story. They were human, and we are human, both with that same dual nature where spiritually we will do to God's Will, yet our fleshly nature and its desires of the world draw us away from God. That is exactly what the story of Adam and Eve symbolizes - our very own spiritual struggle.
We all have that dual nature, as did they in the story. Why else would they have sinned? Why else do we?
Yes, GOD created all that is in HIS Logos, it doesn't mean our bodies were coupled by HIM. They were formed in a womb, by sperm and egg by Man in a fallen state; its not the same.
Oh, I see your mistake here. You think the womb of your mother is not a miracle of God? It's an imperfect creation? It was not intended that life come into being that way, but instead each person fashioned by a lump of clay by God's hands Himself?
Was that the intention in God's original creation, to hand fashion each of us, and leave us under a cabbage leaf for our human parents to find and raise? I'm not sure what other mechanism for human children there was originally, do you?
GOD is not a humanoid person, but HE has HIS own body.
He does? You mean a physical form, like flesh and bones? There's a lot of issues thinking of God like this, not the least of which is scripture itself. "God is Spirit", is the first of countless others that comes to mind.
But aside from that, logic alone has a problem with that. If God is Infinite, then how can he have an outside to Himself? How can there be any "outside" to Infinity? The Infinite includes everything, and excludes nothing.
To put God into a form, like a horned bull, or some other idol of the mind, throws Infinity right out the door on its ear, and instantly brings us back to the golden idols of the pre-monotheistic world, where YHWH was a local deity amongst the other gods of the other tribes. That image of God, is not one of the Universal God, the Omniscience, Omnipresent, Omnipotent God which is understood as Infinite in being, nature, and power. You can't put God into a body, and keep Him up there at that level.
The heart is a different issue entirely. Put simply, a person who made in the image and after the likeness of GOD does not have the nature, or the heart to sin. Jesus HIs Pre-Eminence was talking about tares there.
What Jesus was specifically taught was that these religious people who thought they were pious people because they did not break the law (or eat that fruit in the Garden), that they we not sinful in heart. They thought it's what you do that is sin. Jesus said to them, no, it is what you think in your heart, what you ponder and consider to do, is sin already. The sin has happened, even if you would never in a million years actually do such an unrighteous thing yourself!
So yes, the heart is the place where sin takes place. It's the place we need to look to judge sin itself. That's Jesus' message.
Then you are saying they were not in GOD's image and likeness.
No, not at all. I believe we are all created in the image of God. God creates humans in His image in every birth that occurs. But within that creation, is this dual nature that divides itself from creation, yet sees itself divided from the Source, a creature created between two worlds; the manifest world, and the Divine Mind.
The story of the Fall in the Garden, expresses that self-awareness in humans of this dualistic reality we live in. They sinned, because we sin.
