1) It's a foolish Ideology that humanity is created in the Image of God.
2) No one knows the Image of God but He claims to have ears, legs, eyes. His hearing, seeing, legs is not like that of any of His creations. Come to think of it, will God be a male or female, if His eyes were to be like ours(let's assume it's bigger than ours) it means He will only see what is in the front and see not what is behind. We have intestines, which is only available to animals that only eat for digestion. Such a blasphemy against God Almighty is a reprehensible claim which must be strongly shun and avoided.

Question
1. What does it mean that humanity is created in the image of GOD?

Answer
God is a spirit, if God create anything like Him, it's a like His Spirit Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

But one thing many people don't understand here is, God has not formed man. It's like an Os (operating system) the man in Gods image and likeness had the ability to do exactly what God could do, he could reason and know things as God would have done it.

Yea, about the formed man, so God took the spiritual man and gave it a body and a breathe-Gen2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and[b] there was not a man to till the ground[/b]. 6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.



Question
2. What is the image of GOD?

Answer

Continuing from above,

Assignment /natural ability 1
Gen 2:15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

here, Adam didn't go to a school to know how to dress but by default, he knows what to do

Assignment/natural ability 2
Gen 2:19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Adam was not told the names, but by default, he knows by the spiritual being in him the name God would call them, and he called them that

Natural ability 3
Adam was asleep, God took the rib out of him, and when he woke, he knew this woman is

Natural ability 4, if you watch movies, esp this, cyborg or robot movies, I personally believe if Adam looks at you, he will scan everything and his spirit will be able to tell him, the right action to take next.

Yea, do not eat the forbidden fruit, they ate and they knew they were naked. You mean, I have no money or cloth, but I have it already. Adam had no cloth, but Adam saw cloth, Adam had needs, but Adam sees no need, because he was not just programmed to notice lack or wants

So, God said, the day you eat, you shall die, so they took their bites, and they lost that ability to see the way God sees


3. What does that have to do with our every day living?

We lost many things to the devil, especially the true worship, John 4:23-24, and God is coming as Jesus in form of flesh to return us back to default. I just summarized the Bible for you, so, having denounced the spirit of sin and death that came because of the devil, by accepting Jesus

www.nairaland.com/3877374/what-must-know-before-accepting

You start doing that which and growing in that which Adam could not do or complete. So, Jesus said, when the spirit of truth comes, He shall know more than you do, and guide you into the best that is written concerning you.

Sis, there are so many lies out there, Jesus(God) is truth and only through God can we know the truth to follow.

John16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

We were created in God's image and likeness according to the book of Genesis. Means God created us to be like him loving, kind, peaceful, merciful, patient according to Galatians 5: 22-23 (the fruits of the spirit). Therefore we are to have all these attributes which qualify us to be like him.

It is not an ideology. It is the truth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen 1:27.
If you want to confirm, give your life to Christ and get prepared to see God.
