isnt it arrogant to say that god created man in his own image?

Question

when we dont know what god looks like

Answer 1

Yes, I think that sounds about right.

God doesn't have an image.
He is not something physical like us.
And the reason we say 'he' is just because we try to create something in our minds, to be able to picture a God for ourselves, and be able to communicate with him.

Because we have never seen God, we cannot not have an image in our mind. Maybe it's just like an image of wind. We have feelings of what God feels like, but not what he looks like.

We definitely are not images of God.
He has unlimited power.
We are just weaklings, thinking and imagining that we're the best.

God is nothing like us.Only our spirits are the same, because they are a part of his spirit. They are of the same kind.

Answer 2

If you were God and was playing around in the mud and clay of life. You might come up with a creation that you decided to call man. Therefore man was borne or created from Gods imagination and perhaps not in his own personal image. I don't like to think of God being anything like us impure, imperfect human beings. He is much greater entity than that. Anyway dose it matter what he looks like??????

Answer 3

humans are a very self-centered, egotistical and arrogant creatures. it seems that "being make in God's image" has given some people the idea that they can act like god and have the god given right to do to the earth as we deem. we forget that we are COPIES of the creator and don't have his power.

Answer 4

The anthropomorphic concept of a God sitting on a throne in the sky looking like a super human even many pastors do not accept.

Answer 5

God looks like John Merrick

Answer 6

God spoke: "Let us make human beings in our image, make them
reflecting our nature
So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea,
the birds in the air, the cattle,
And, yes, Earth itself,
and every animal that moves on the face of Earth."
God created human beings;
he created them godlike,
Reflecting God's nature.
He created them male and female.
God blessed them:
"Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take charge!
Be responsible for fish in the sea and birds in the air,
for every living thing that moves on the face of Earth."

Genesis 1:26-28 [The Message version]

God is spirit, not flesh - so we don't look like God, but we have a spirit part to us that is like God.

Answer 7

Actually is a privilege to be God's image; which means we have his main qualities: love, wisdom, justice and power, even when we don't use them right. God is a spirit n those who worship him must do it with truth and spirit. (john 4:24)

Answer 8

Genesis 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.

I would say God said that and he never lies!
