does it say man was made in gods image what does that mean?

Question

is it facial,, body type or spritual,, no it cant be spiritual because we have sin and god is without sin,, so what does it mean

Answer 1

We are a reflection of God in the fact that we can feel emotion, we have the ability to love, to show kindness and affection, to be angry. We have the ability to acknowledge his love. And we are liable for all that we do wrong.

Answer 2

I think it means both physical and spiritual. Maybe even mentally too. But it's potential, not actual.

People "become". (Not getting into the can o' worms of "can God change".) They start small looking one way, then grow up and look different. God doesn't start as a baby then mature.

People do that physically, so we're supposed to do it spiritually too: we do sin, but we have the ability to "become" more like God by maturing to a point where we make good choices instead of bad ones.

So maybe the image of God that we're made in is potential: we have the ability to become the images of God we were meant to be.

Answer 5

God's ways are not our ways... sin is a man made concept used to controll people. Being made in God's image means we have the capacity to LOVE unconditionaly just as God does. Few people choose to though.

Answer 6

The term "image" was translated from a greek word that when modified by different word modifiers in greek really meant the "characteristics of"

Those "characteristics" being loving, kind, just, compassionate etc. All the attributes we associated with God's personality.

As such we reflect those same "characteristics" or attributes.

I think you get the picture.

Answer 7

actually mirrors had not yet been created at that time that man was made in God's image

so to perceive his Image God looked within
--- you know, he sorta paused and pondered like in meditation and when the vision started he saw inside himself and there we all were!!!!!!!!!

well once God had observed us we thus became immortal thoughts of God
and God was most delighted - he had created out of Him/Her very self!

so then all of we just were.
...kinda like looking on each other and observing too
and thus between a lot of "you" and "I" we bean to create and space and time for all of our creations came to be

eventually in all our interactions came to be a plane of light
you know: *Polarity* = right and wrong and positive and negative and up and down and in and out and all those superstring circuits that make up our manifest world

but our designing those superstring circuits took experimentation and exploration
and some of them did not work out right
those 'OOPS" were called sins
sins were supposed to be looked at and learned from and replaced by a new future creation
but some looked instead on the 'oops' as failure and created guilt
master superstring manipulaters s
came and said hey just give your oops to the future - with us co operating things will be taken care of - you are a valued member of what is called 'Us' - lets get off our arses and move forward into the forever eternal changing Now and forget this wallowing in the pasts of our learnings

so yes God is without sin
but the parts of god need to sin
sin is the observation of that which brings inspiration for more and better out of the abundance of the whole
it brings on our tomorrows and gives movement to the harmonies that are our Universes and dimensions to play Life in

Answer 8

God must look like human beings if we are made in his image. Think about the image in a mirror - it's the same. Jesus came and he was a man so god must be a man.

Answer 9

Gen. 1 God says Let US create man in OUR image.
Gen 2
God formed man from the dust (flesh)
God breathed in life (spirit)
Man became a living soul (soul)
God made man in his image above the animals which are mere flesh and perish with their flesh but gave man an eternal spirit.

Answer 10

It means that God has a physical body like ours. The whole enchilada. We look like him, we have a physical body too. Before we came to this earth, we were in heaven as a spirit. Then we came to earth to get a physical body. Here on earth is our test to see if we can make the right choices, receive the Holy Ghost, live our live right so we keep the Holy Ghost (Spirit) and return and live with Heavenly Father.

Answer 11

since God created universe by faith, man is His true image should also do likewise. Outside of that, man is said to be in fallen image: capable to create outside of faith, which is by intellectual wisdom, as you can see this world around you.
