Gen.1:26 "God created man in his own image and likeness."Does it refer to the bodily or biological form,because God is a spirit and man is earthly,it is also true that the body does not belong to the image,since God does not have a body.

It is true that God made man in his image and likeness, but sin came upon the earth and turned man into mortal.

Talking about "in God's image & likeness" points to the tripite nature of God.

God the father (soul)
God the Spirit (Spirit)
God the Son (body)

Mind you, God is one but He manifests in different dimensions.

Man is also a tripite being because we are a Spirit, we have a Soul and we live in a body.

I have learnt to stay in my business.

If u dont wanna lose your sanity about the GOD symbolism et all. Just enjoy life.

Arguing about GOD and its form is a waste of time. Something wey we all know see. Its just a belief.

How Mr A wan tek agree say Mr B correct.

Are you saying that man exhudes the soul,spirit and body of God.

Let us (God +Earth) Make man in our own image after our likeness.... Man is made up of spirit from God and dust from the earth.. Sealed by God's breadth... At death everything returns to default settings...

GOD ALMIGHTY Is The OWNER of All Forms In The Universe........so, HE Definitely Has BODILY FORM(S)

It is important to note that, we are NOT the "man" created in HIS Image! These set of men Created in HIS Image are known as "Primordial Spiritual Beings"!!

We human beings on earth are the "men formed from dust"........genesis chapter 2 vs 7 would guide you!

Shalom!

Conciousness.. From God. And body from the earth..

Obatala made human figurines and God (eledumare) animated them..

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that [b]God created man, He made him in His own likeness.



Genesis 2:21-25
And the LORD[b] God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs,[/b] and closed up the flesh instead thereof; …

Learn to genuinely follow and obey The Fundamental Laws of GOD ALMIGHTY in Creation and you would clearly see all GOD'S attributes inherent in men; but it is extremely sad that majority of men still foolishly choose to follow the wrong path! Shalom!

Let's get this SCRIPTURAL facts straight.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit Being.
1 Corinthians 15:40. Spirit beings live in spiritual bodies.
Humans beings live in fleshly bodies.
God dwells in his spiritual body in the spiritual realm just as humans dwell in the physical realm with a physical body (flesh).

God made made man in his own image", That is Yahweh gave Godly attributes to Man.
For this reason, Psalms 82:1,6 Man is a god. (Compare John 10:34-36).

God made Man according to His likeness', that is, Yahweh made Man to resemble His Maker , act like his Maker.

Every child is in the likeness of his Father, looks like his father, copies from his father..
Yahweh CREATED everything in the physical and spiritual realms.
In the physical realm, man repeats God's creation in the physical realm - for instance, observe the aeroplane and see the wingspan of a Bird and the tail of a fish.

At creation, man was made to "perfection" until the fall. God even came down every evening to "gist" with man.

Don't compare the Man we have now to the Man God created and the Man that will rise to eternity in Christ.

Just so you know, Man is the only creation of God that is a Spirit, soul & body. Not even Satan or the angels have this.

Jesus is God in bodily form. If you understand this, every other thing will be clear to you.

The word referred to as "Image" there means the qualities not physic!

There are millions of creatures on this planet, God chose to create one specie that will "rule" all these creatures. So no matter how gigantic or fast any creature can be, God made man to control them.

That's why man has qualities like making things better and making better things, unlike all the creatures on planet earth man alone keeps improving in the way we do things, the whale is the largest animal today it has continued to live in the sea and it's lifestyle remain the same. But when you compare to man, we've changed a lot in fashion, communication, habitation, delicacies and so on. This is the image God is talking about but in terms of organizational arrangement and orderliness we failed woefully because our first parents turned their backs on the one who could set the standard for orderliness to reign.
Humans were created with the ability to cohabit peacefully without any problem, that's why God refers to those who are able to organize themselves in an orderly manner as his sheep! smiley

It seems you know Bible & know God more than His son, Jesus Christ.

Besides I didn't say God is three. Read the 1 John 5:7 to understand.

The truth will bring understanding and wisdom to you so you can comprehend the verse. God is an invisible eternal father. An invisible being can have no image because it does not conform to matter.

Like I said earlier, all your claims only proves that there is a Trinity.

The Bible clearly states that man was created from Dust. But then, it clearly states again that Man was created in God's image (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).

There's no explanation you can give against this.

You really need help. Jehovah Witness Doctrines are evil.

If you don't believe things as simple as this, then I am sorry - You simply are not a Christian.
