'Man was created in the image of G-d'

[Desert Snake]

'Man was created in the image of G-d'.
The G-d that is the likeness of man is Jesus, not an "invisible' god.

Jesus is The Creator G-d.

If I remember correctly, man was created in the image of God and whoever else was around before the fall. So, humanity as we know it need no necessarily be the form we see today. It is also worth knowing that Jesus was not around or even thought up at the time Genesis was written. Further, God said "let us make man in our image", implying others were around who may have been humanoid physically.

Pretty flawed statement.

What are we to debate? Which is best--imagined or imagined?

X is like Y
Y is like Z
Therefore Y is Z.

Um, nope.

It says humans - were created in the image of Elohiym, both male and female.


Is Jesus a hermaphrodite?


Just kidding. LOL! No Jesus in Tanakh.

Are we talking about Gozer the Traveler? My sources inform me that he will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. For example, during the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

You don't think it would be a little odd for that vagueness in The Bible? I agree that not everything is literal in Scripture, but if we assume that much metaphor etc. then what exactly can we tell with certainty.

Eh what?

Hmm I think you might want to study Christian doctrine a bit more if you think that.

Well, sure if you think the Bible is all fiction. But many of us don't.

The way I understand it is that it's referring to our souls/minds. We are capable of self-awareness, abstract thought and free will as God is. It's not talking about our bodies.

I didn't realize that the Bible was the topic. My bad.

Oh, you mean 'in the image of'. The thing is, perhaps we should be ascribing those qualities to Deity that resembles us more. it's a tricky question.

Which Deity resemble us more?

I'm not sure what you mean. if you use the word "imagine" it evokes the idea that we aren't dealing with real Deity. If, as you seem to be, saying 'does it matter' because of Deity sameness, I'm not sure what the answer to that would be. Since I agree with Deity sameness, I guess we agree.

The one worship? I'm not a Trinitarian.

I just thought the topic was Deity, rather than the Bible.

Deity that is "invisible" would be squarely imagined. And Deity that is a man, as Jesus was, would be imagined (because "man" is the obvious form).

It just seems we're comparing oranges and oranges and concluding oranges.
