Did God Really Create Man In His 'Image' And 'Likeness'? by Rapmoney(m): 12:43am On Aug 30, 2015
The Book of Genesis says man is created in God's 'image'. Not just image but also 'likeness'. The aspect of likeness, I think, means that man has the nature of God!

If man was really created in the image and likeness of God, why do we have evil people such as murderers, rapists, armed robbers, fraudsters, etc? Does it mean certain humans have God's image and likeness and others do not?

Now, if man has, truly the 'likeness' (nature of God) of God and man is evil, does it mean God is likewise?

What do you think happened when man ate the forbidden fruit? ?? The God nature died, and man became evil. Man was never evil at the beginning.
