iMAGE OF GOD *

In the bible there is a passage that states " What it means to be created in the image of God is that we have been created to be like God. There is a little bit of Gods personalitly, and characteristics in us. God wants us to follow him. He wants us to good. Just like he did. He us created through his perspective of how he wanted us to become. It is just our choice weather or not we want to make the right choices for ourselves. We are our own person in the image of God.

God's image? wat does it mean?

I think that to be created in God's image means that God was creating us not to look like him but to have his traits. Everyone is different and created differently but were also the same. The ways that we are the same is God all gave us a free will its just how we choose to use it. He created us to serve him with that free will. Were also different at the same time because God created us with different personalities. So in all what it means to be created in God's image to me is that were all created by God by were all different.

Created in the image of God ;] !

When asked what it means to be created in the image of God, you think of what he looked like, his personality, his flaws and his strengths. But who knows exactly what God looks like? God was a man right? Then how do women look like him?

The answer is not as complex as you might think. We, as Gods people have the superior knowledge that he shared with us. No animal, bird, plant,or bug will ever have the knowledge we have, because we as humans are created in the image of god. Who's to say that bugs weren't created in the image of God? Maybe bugs know more about life on earth as we know, but have no way of communicating it to us. We also have to think about sins. If everyone were created in the image of God, would there be sin? Was God a sinner? No, we aren't exactly like him, but in his image of himself, would we be sinners ; with chances of killing his people and going to hell?
Being created in the image of God is not looking like god, or smelling like him, but understanding him, and having his knowledge and qualities, yet shown differently.

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. - (Gen. 1:26-27 NIV)

Made in God's image

Christians believe that people are made in the image of God. A passage in the Genesis says that God created Adam in his likeness. Many people only think that he meant his physical image, but that is not so. The truth is that God has not physical image, but he is the unseen force that created the universe. If God created us in his physical image, we would all be invisible. When the writers of Genesis said we were created in his image, I think they meant he gave us one thing that he didn't give to any other creature on earth - the ability to reason. God gave us reason, and we became the dominant species of the earth. How many other creature could invent and figure out math formulas. He also gave us his emotions, which we use to feel the world on a whole new level.

Made In God's Image???

I think we are made in God's image because we have the power to do whatever we want to. From driving a car to killing people, there is nothing God can do to stop us. There may be laws and God may tell us what would be good to do and not good to do, but he can't control us. We have control over our own actions.

made in gods image

I feel that it being made in God's image means we have a soul just like God's and we have freewill. God is not visible and neither is our soul but they are both there and that would mean they have the same image. Also we have what is called a "rational soul" we can figure things out that require alot of mental capacity. If we did not we couldn't do algebra or geometry God has a rational soul too. God doe what he feels is right and humans do as they please (but we have laws) too. Animals have instincts, humans can use logic to overthrow instincts. I feel these are some things that are made in God's image.
