If we are made in GODs image, answer me this..?

Question

Ok, so the basic layout is 2x arms & legs, right? Plus, being a "he" there must be sexual organs, yes?
SO...... Why would God need arms and legs? Where would he walk? How would he trim his fingernails? A hundred such Q`s occur!
Where, if `he` is the one and only, would he put his pen*s? It is there for reproduction.... or is God sexless? Should we refer to God as " IT "?

Answer 1

That isnt what it means when it says that we were made in God's image and no God does not have sex organs. He is not human. When the Bible says the we were made in his image it means that we have the capacity to choose. We can think on mutliple levels. We have freedom.

Answer 2

We were not created to be shallow, empty vessels. Nor were we created to focus on such shallow things as outer appearance.

Or would you rather slither and crawl?

How else could we have dominion over all the earth? Or would you rather be swept up by everything with claws?

You ask the unanswerable as some form of challenge. Or are you just having a bad day, or mad at God about something?

Without supporting the Theory of Evolution, man has evolved quite a bit from the Stone Age, don't you think? Don't you think God evolved from something? Don't you think that maybe, He had a physical existence at one time?

Whether or not, it makes just as much sense as your presumption that God has never had need of arms and legs, or that He has always been a Spirit, if indeed we can define Him as such.

How do you define a being made of pure energy, that would destroy a mere human by our laying eyes on Him? Rather than trying to apply your immature definitions of sex, you should rather try to apply polarity to energy.

Answer 3

Spike,
You keep tossing out these God questions.
Okay, the people who were writing this needed a way to relate to the Divine One. The highest form of life they could think of was, ironically, a big one of themselves. They made him or visualized him as a male because they were male.
This anthropomorphism goes way back before either the Old or New Testaments. It was something that they thought would make sense to the worshipers.
But one could also see the "in the image of" as being made in the image of God's mind or soul and not the image of his body.

Answer 4

God is our heavenly father. Jesus is the son of God who became man but is now made perfect. i'm not fully sure how to explain, but Jesus mentioned all three as one, God the Father the Son and the Holy spirit, In the beginning Jesus was the word and the word was God. Thats in the bible. But you will have to ask God when you see him, or pray for an answer or a guide. Maybe god is a more perfect form, we are in the image of God, who knows what perfect looks like.

Answer 5

If you read the "Book" you would know that some time ago in the past our ancestor became human and at that time we were made in Gods image. It was choice that was in his image, not his arms and legs. Its great to belive in the fact that we will go to a better place after we die. To take that away from someone is an act of crulty.

Answer 6

God is neither a man or a woman. He created us in his own image the way he thought man should be.

He is neither 'he' or 'she'; God was only put into the Bible as a 'he' because of the culture back then; The male was dominant, so God was thought to be a man.

I believe that God should not be referred as a male or female but as God.

So many questions can arise, but not all can be answered. If they could be logically answered, then it would be a lot easier to prove to people that God exists.

Answer 7

I think that man created GOD in his image...This is not to say that the remedial concept in most peoples heads that they refer to as God doesn't have an actual true counter representation in reality. Of course there is a creative source that we all emanate from but ii is not a man or a woman...it is actually beyond the comprehension of the human mind....but you can feel and dwell in the presence of the realm of the sacred...

Answer 8

i believe that god is whatever you imagine him/her/IT as you so kindly put it, to be. if you imagine him as a certain ethnicity, then that is him for you. if you imagine him as a her, than that is your god. i believe that it (coz its simpler) would walk in your vision of heaven with you when you die. i dont think it has to trim its fingernails, coz its the essence OF life, not living, so i dont think they grow. i dont think god is sexless, i just dont think it reproduces. so many people envision it as a male just coz back before women's suffrage, men were the elite. but i believe that god can be whatever you want it to be. he/she is the almighty, and being such can mean that there are infinite possibilities. you have only poked at the surface of the cauldron of steaming questions about god.

Answer 9

Interesting questions Mr Spike but there are more important things you should know about God especially since they concern your eternal destiny.

I leave you with the most important thing and that is that God gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but will have everlasting life.

Answer 10

When it says we were created in Gods image, it meant the
spirit. Seers claim that when one can see spiritually, even our
physical body looks like a glowing mass of energy.
