If we are made in god's image?

Question

Does god have a belly button?

Answer 1

Question was asked before. The chosen best answer was incredibly retarded. The person basically said "uh, duh deet deet dur.

So I say, uh, duh deet duh dur dum. Will I have the chosen best answer?

Answer 2

In writing my answer, I'm finding that this is actually a rather deep question (no pun intended).

We are made in God's image. What does that mean? God is spirit; God the Father, the Creator, doesn't have arms and legs like we do. He doesn't have eyes and ears and a nose and a belly button. He's not human; He's God.

We are in His image, then, in some other way, if not bodily. What else do we have that's unique? Our intellect and will. We can think about things and make decisions, and we have the will to (try to) carry out those decisions. In that fashion, we are like God; we are gifted with a share in His intellect and in His will.

However... Christians believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate. Being fully man, as well as fully God, He has a belly button. It could be argued that He only had a belly button since the day He was conceived in Mary. It's some somewhat weird, somewhat funny, and very interesting theology.

Answer 3

have you heard the story of 4 blind men and elephant? If not, in a nutshell, all the blind men after touching the elephant each describe elephant being like the part of elehpant's body he touched. The same is the case with most of us, having no knowing about God. Hence in the first step, try to find the God, Once you reach him, then you can see with your eyes, if he has a belly button or not. However, I hope the below will help you in your search:

Allah! There is no god but He, the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).

Answer 4

Hello Oneeye.

Well, if it is indeed true that we are made in the image of god, and we are looking like god looks, then yes, god would have a belly button.

Answer 5

The SEVEN SPIRITS of God have no need of a belly button.

Answer 6

lol

no he don't have a belly button.
He is a spirit. So being made in Gods image is having the same personality as he does. which is stuff like longsuffering, kindness, mercy and so on.

Answer 7

No. Your greatest happiness is found in making others happy. Seeking happiness for itself is self defeating. It is mankind (male and female) that is created in YHVH's image. Not man (in the sense of maleness). YHVH's greatest gift to man (other than salvation) is sex. That is why Satan has been so thorough in corrupting it. He has done a very good job, and it no longer appears to be the great gift that it was in the beginning-- that it was supposed to be. If you take something apart, you destroy it.
