Maybe. You'll find out when you stand before God.
Good luck.

No. HIS Image is the Prototype of the general look of man in a perfect state. Science has proven that - apart from the focus on the mother, due to something stronger than looks - a newborn baby gravitates toward a certain set of looks, regardless of ethnicity, and this is a universal preference. Likewise, a mask was made from the features of the person in various countries, even in closed communities uninfluenced by television, who was considered the most beautiful in the case of each community. While this doesn't mean all thought the person was most attractive, it means they had a general agreement on the scientific beauty of the face. The mask created in each instance closely resembled all the others made in the same way in all the other locals. This is a phenomenon reflecting an internal intuition of the original Image. JESUS CHRIST has that ideal Face.
The Image corresponds to what I said above, while the Likeness has to do with resembling GOD in Virtue.

Whatever our physical features are, our likeness to God is the spirit in our soul. This spirit is the breath of life that God breathed into us when He created us (Genesis 1:26). Our physical body is just soil, dust, inanimate, without life, not moving, that God formed. In order that it will move, He breathed into it. This spirit is the part of God in us.
Isn’t it that God is a spirit (John 4:24)? And so are we. We are spirits. Since this spirit is from God, it will live forever like God. There are only two places where we will live after our earthly life—in Heaven with God or in Hell to suffer there—forever. The choice is ours.
What can we do? Change your wrong beliefs now. Change our wrong and evil ways. Walk in the path of righteousness. Come back to God, our first love.

To be created in God's image doesn't mean a physical resemblence. Being made in God's image means to share other attributes of God that seperate humans from the animals. Humans are sentient (logical and rational), creative, capable of emotions, and have free will. It is in this way that we are made in God's image.

No no no my friend ... it is way away from that. When it says created in God's image then it means that you (mankind) are created with the qualities of God or, have the qualities of God i.e. love, mercy, generousity, greatness, honour, truthfulness, beauty, glory, knowledge and at least 50 other images or qualities BUT they are little compared to God's. Certain persons like mother Theresa are advanced in these fields more than you & me !!! Good luck and you are beautiful.

“GOD proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.” So says the inspired record, but what does it mean? How were the first man and woman created in God’s image?—Genesis 1:27.
Were they physically like God? No, that is impossible. Man is human, fleshly, designed to live on the earth. God is spirit, living in unimaginable heavenly glory that no human can even approach. (Exodus 33:18-20; 1 Corinthians 15:50) How, then, was man made in God’s image? In that man was given the ability to exercise God’s outstanding attributes—love, justice, wisdom, and power—as well as other qualities.

I think you have the wrong idea of "Image"
In this God means he gave man characteristics of him,Such as. Man wants to be loved ,so dose God. You can't make someone love you this is why God gave us free will.
Man wants to feel welcome, so dose God.
If you were going to a friends house for a party you want to be invited, God wants you to invite him in your home(By this I mean your body). I think you get the point now!
God has many of the same desires men have and I don't mean fleshly desires, I mean desires of the true heart.

Perhaps. But I side with C.S. Lewis on this, that what this statement means is that our mind/heart/soul/consciousness/etc is what is "in the image of god"; meaning that humans have a capacity for morality.

i sure hope Jesus is not a big fat slob, because the bible says he is perfect. But even if he is I will still love him the same and I am sure people still love you as well.
