I fail to see where we are made similar in appearance to God just because of the words " in our image". The word image has multitude meanings, one of which is the repensentation of an idea of a persons mind. If I draw on paper something in my own image, I could draw anything, for it is drawn in my own image of what I wanted it to look like. Is this not just as likely what God meant?

I agree that we cannot be made to appear like God, because God can appear to be anything that God wants.
I feel that God is the formless, genderless, omnipresent, eternal energy source which is the process of life itself. Not a being, or an old guy with a long white beard and flowing robes sitting in a throne in some heaven in outer space somewhere.

When the Old Testament mentions God making man in his own image, it is not in reference to a physical image. God made man with the full capacity to be intelligent, merciful, kind, just, and loving. He endowed us with the knowledge of what is good and holy, but we CHOSE to separate ourselves from Him.

I have been told that when God said "our image" that he meant that we would have a body, soul and spirit like him, not look like Him.

WE WERE CREATED IN GODS IMAGE IN THAT SPIRIT, WE WERE LESSENED WHEN WE WERE INTRODUCED TO SIN AND ONLY THROUGH JESUS CAN WE BE CLOSE TO GOD AGAIN, AN IMAGE CAN MEAN ANYTHING NOT JUST LOOKS.
