God made Man in his own image. Does this mean God is a man?

I don't believe that God has a gender. In animals that reproduce sexually, the purpose of gender is procreation. If  you're Christian, you believe that God has a son, Jesus Christ. However, Jesus was supposed to have been the result of an immaculate conception.God didn't have sexual intercourse with Mary.God isn't human and He/She/It is beyond all human understanding.

I believe that God is neither male nor female, but rather a Spirit. He has both male and female qualities. For example, He has the protective, strong side that can be classified with males and the caring, compassionate side that we identify as feminine. He created both man and woman to be like Him, not only externally but internally as well. Jesus, however, was male. In order to come down to earth and become human, He needed to have a gender. But God Himself is neither. Hope this helps, God bless!

we are all gods. Each of us have 'god' like powers just waiting to be found. God was created in the image of man. So yes, I believe in me and you.

from dust to dust... God create as from dust to remind us without HIM, we are nothing... All perfect things come from GOD... from meaningless to a glorify creature, because people are created in HIS Image... without HIS image then we're nothing.. He's planning not by coincidence... I put some verse, hopefully help us...\n\nThe LORD God took a handful of SOIL and made a MAN. God breathed LIFE into the man, and the man started BREATHING \n(Gen 2:7)\n\nGod said, "Now we will make humans, and they will be like us. We will let them rule the fish, the birds, and all other living creatures." So God created humans to be like himself; he made men and women. \n(Gen 1:26-27)\n\n\nGbu

Of course its not, I think everyone has a mental image of what God may look like.  Remember our Bible was written by man and therefore has many contradictions and confusing parts about it.

This is an excelent question! \nat Genesis chapter 1 verses 26 and 27 it says\n\n26 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." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.\n  \nto know the answer to this question, it is important to know what it is meant when it says that we were made in God's image and likeness. of course this does not mean that we have the same substance as God or angels but perhaps the same attributes. God is a spirit says the bible at \n\nJohn 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."\n\nso when we read that we are made in his image, we should not imagine that we have a body like his. instead of thinking this way, we know that God has attributes like \n1.)Power\nJob 37:23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;\n2 corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.\n2.)Justice\ndeutoronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are justice. A faithful God who does no wrong, \nupright and just is he.\nisaiah 61:8 "For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity.\n3.)Wisdom\nromans 11:33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!\njob 12:13 "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and\nunderstanding are his.\n4.)Love\n1john 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.\nexodus 34:6 And he passed in front of Moses,\nproclaiming, "The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.\n\nwhen we examine this attributes and try to compare them with the rest of creation it is almost impossible to match them all in one of this things. for example if you try to attribute all of this qualities to the stars. certanly you could say that a star has power but what about the other three? or lets take a closer example, like the one of an animal. an animal is powerful and wise in instinct but it lacks in justice and the capacity to love. is this not incredible that only humans like you and me match all of this qualities, one by one. yes both man and women have the capacity to use their physical power to work and do good. also they have the wisdom to use it correctly and to know what is right and wrong and what pleases God and what he dissaproves. then we have a sense of justice that no one else has. I have never seen a dog not eat the food of the other less strong puppy because it would not be just to take what is not his. we have the ability to help each other and to set rules that benefit all in the house hold or community so that it will be fair as far as we can. and last but most important of all we have the ability to Love. God gives us each and every single day the opportunity to show our love toward each other and most importantly towards him. do you remember that Jesus said? to love our neighbor as ourselves and to love God.\nwhen adam and eve were in paradise, they had a perfect start and opportunity to benefit from God directly and cultivate their, wisdom, justice, and love and make this qualities grow. they could have learned directly from God, but after they sinned they lost favor and were thrown out of paradise.\ngenesis 3:22 And Jehovah God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 So Jehovah God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove

Jesus was the God made Man... He is the Son of God, from all eternity he existed... and became a finite man regulated to the limitations of our human species... for a few short years to fulfill our redemption and open Paradise to all believers... and the Holy Ghost is the spiritual mindal binding unit that God the Father and God the Son share to become ONE... Don't try to use your human limited finite mind to understand a deep DIVINE MYSTERY OF DEITY... Do not put yourself up on the same level as GOD... Just admit that you are a finite man with a limited mind and let some mysteries lay until you gain Paradise to be able to understand them... it keeps you HUMBLE... I hope you know what that is... HUMILITY?  Deity-God is a mystery, not understantable by a human limited mind...

It doesn't mean we are created in his actual physical form, it refers more to our very existence, or our spirit. Parts of us hint at what God is like, but of course because of sin we are a stained image.

God is not a created being. In the Bible God says to Moses... "I am".

I don't know and I don't think no one dose!.. but I do know one thing the bible tell us about this is:\n"God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."\nGenesis 1:27

Yes, they believe that God once was a man, and they believe that men can become gods, themselves.

The GOD is the same FORM as YOU are...........\n\nI will give you a simple explanation.............\n\nHave you ever thought GOD to be a dog or elephant or shark or a tree ! We humans think GOD as a human being only......isn't it ? Even a man will see GOD as a MAN and a woman will think GOD as a WOMAN.......true isn't it ? \n\nProbably a Dog will see his God to be a Dog only.........I tell you why this is so...........because no one has seen GOD and it exists only in our mind.........so we make a picture of GOD like ourself. \n\nI think GOD is nothing but a "Driving Power" that gives us inspiration to live ahead........

Yes. That scripture you quoted tells alot. In Genesis, God said, Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness.  Also, refer to I John 5 : 7:   For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

To start with, "all" means human beings -- not animals.  Secondly, in context with the theory of evolution, I don't believe it was a physical image in which He created us, but perhaps our souls that resemble Him.  As far as gender goes, God is neither man nor woman.  The male figure in early literature was always considered the dominant gender, so to represent God's dominion over the world, He has always naturally been assimilated to masculine terms.

Man created God in his own image

D and E. A bit of a contradiction, true. Cognito ergo sum. I think therefore I exist. Man thinks of God, therefore he exists. Which points to the fact that if the God is a product of man, then the supposed God of (A) does not exist. Therefore I motion that a god, or gods, do not exist at all. How can a god exist and de-exist, through the thought of man? Logic101. My weak point in college, but a great tool in regards to faith, religion, and gods.
