Ok. Now that I've shown that Christians could easily accept, before the Apostasy of course, the we were created in the image of God, I'd like to show the same with Judaism, since this is the source of the Old Testament.
First, early Christians came from Jewish communities, so it would make sense that they would have a similar belief in God as the communities from which they emerged. Judaism had a very strong influence on Christianity. I hope that this can easily be admitted by Christians and Jews.
Alon Goshen Gottstein stated in "The Body as the Image of God in Rabbinic Literature" (Harvard Theological Review) the following:
The word used to discribe image in Genesis 1:27 is tselem (or tzelem as I was corrected by Binjamin). This word is translated as "form, image, or likeness." The same word is used in Genesis 5:3, Exodus 20:4, Leviticus 26:1, Psalm 106:19, Isaiah 40:20, and Isaiah 44:9-17.
Concerning this word, Gottstein stated,
He also continues to try and explain why there is such a drastic difference between current Christian and Jewish teachings.
Compare Gottstein's interpretation of these teachings with Joseph Smiths in Doctrine and Covenants 93:33 - "For man is spirit. The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, recieve a fullness of joy."
