"created in the image of God", think about it....what would God look like if we are in his image? what U think

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.

The moment u can give any image to God, he is not God. God is actually NOOR (i.e. light). Be logical, if the God would be just like u and me with 2 eyes and ears, whats the use of worshipping him? God is not physical...

Nope! We were created in the image of God.\n\nYou evolved from Neanderthals, probably from the retarded offspring of retarded fishmonkey beaver-things.

God is the CREATER of all as well as human being; HE create everything we can see in this Universe and as well as those that can't be seen. HE is the one who create all kinds of POWER; SHOWING, and SEEING. HE is the one who give power to all those leaders. Human has no ability to see the CREATER of SEEING. HE have given us this life and all things in this Universe to let us know that HE exist!!!!!

If god existed he had to be made of something. What???\nAtoms, Energy, or maybe some thing beyond our imaginations.\nIF IT WAS ENERGY or ATOMS THEN WHY IS HE SO DIFF RENT FROM US.\nNOW IF he was MADE OF SOMETHING EVEN BEYOND OUR IMAGINATIONS then there has to be someone who created those things which make god up.\nAND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD JUST HAPPENED TO EXIST, BELIEVE THAT GOD IS FUNDAMENTAL, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU what is the problem with treating the universe the same way ???

I believe that GOD (much like anything in the Bible that Looks impossible) is a metaphoric representation of something that matches GOD's description. You have to ask yourself....\n\nWhat is the most powerful force you can think of?\nWhat creates?\nWhat is merciful?\nWhat is vengeful?\nWhat looks like a Human?\nEct.\n\nNow this being the case, I guess it would be possible for other Religions and Mythologies to also be heavily metaphoric and also have a representation of the exact same element. Hell, they may even call theirs King, too!!

If I had to pick one of your options it would be 5=> God is present in our own self and enjoying his creation through us.\n\nWhile I am very uncomfortable with a personification of God, I do believe that there is divine energy that runs through each of us and everything in this existence.  I believe that our consious mind is tapped into that energy and that we can direct it as we navigate through this life.  \n\nI think that when we die we will return to source as it were and be reunited with this energy source.  I believe this energy source is commonly called god and the reuniting is more commonly called heaven.  I think after a brief rest at home (heaven) we will set back out to learn more things using a new lifetime to learn new lessons.

No. God createth and God taketh away. If you're going look at everything from a human or modern perspective, you'll run into much error.

Same god. different perspective. we haven't seen even our solar system from all sides yet. The god I believe created universe can not be understood completly ever.

My description of god is summed up in saying God is a grown ups makebelieve friend.  Don't know if its right or not but seems logical seeings how we don't ever see the guy.

Man created God in his own image

Great Question!!  I bet you are really observant, great attention to detail.  I would have to say yes because all men are supposed to be created in gods image right? So we are created in the same image as Adam and Eve. So following that strain does god have a belly button? hmmmm I bet he is an inee. LOL Is that blasphemous?

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.

You have to understand first that we are not on the same realm as God.  God is higher than us.  His ways and his thought are higher than ours.  We should never question anything that God has done\n\nAs for where God came from...God has always been.  It is hard for us to imagine this because we think only as humans.  To us,  there is a beginning and an ending to all things.  Not to God.  God always has been and always will be.

Wow:  Thanks for the info about the DNA.  For those readers that wondered how the world comes into being without God creating what He alone is able and willing, such info as the DNA, let alone the rest of the whole complex of Created mass and masterpieces, it rests on this issue.  You see, you think, and you understand.  OR you see, and refuse to see, you think and you refuse to think, and you refuse to understand.  Part of that matter of Free choice.  The simple fact is, what you choose to believe is also part of the gift you were given in Creation.  You believe or not, and amazing, it gives you a part in the rest of the community.  There are adequate numbers of unbelievers, that will all affirm your faithlessness, just as there are adequate numbers of believers who will affirm your believe in pagan cult, just as there are adequate numbers of believers in Islam, or Christianity or any other form religion.  Numbers however, doesnt affirm factuallity.  Flat world theorists believe it.  Round world hanging in space believe it.  Sun circling the earth believers affirm it, as do earth circling the sun believers affirm their bit of observation.  \n   Did Noach go searching for the animals?  No, the Text says, according to Moses, affirming that GOd instructed him to write, that God caused the animals to come to the ark.  Noachs job was to build it and stock it with grain and grass, as all the animals would eat vegetarian while aboard, including Noach and family.  Is that possible?  Depends on how you view and believe.  Impossible for those who refuse to believe that GOD was involved.  Possible for those that choose to believe in such miracle process or natural process.   It is all amazing, no matter what you believe.  If you believe God created, thats amazing.  From my point of view thats acceptable.  What would be more amazing is to try to figure out how all this world in all its complexity came into being without a Creator God, since it is obviously more complex than any human can contrive.  Heck,,,we cant even create a blade of grass from nothing, let alone a human eye..or the rest of a human being.\n   The story of the group of scientists who were all working on a grand assignment, to duplicate life...and one day they all agreed, they had done it.  Accomplished the grand impossible,  they had developed a life form in a petri dish.   Eureka they shouted...we did it.  We dont need GOD any more.   THEN GOD SAID :  Now, try it without anything:  No dirt, no fire, no water, no air and no petri dish.

Ya mean exactly what he looks like? Basically it just says stuff like we were created in his image... in fact, half the Bible's just a metaphor, so we dunno if we can trust it. Yeah, but we were created in his image and stuff. Soooo... he looks like a regular human being, except not so regular.

"If God is good and all-powerful, why does evil exist in this world?"\n\nTime to bust out the big words:  Theodicy.\n\nTheodicy:  "an explanation for the presence of evil and suffering that is consistent with the nature and character of God."\n\nBoy, I'm not sure where to start.  There's so many points to make and I'm not sure how to organize my thoughts....but here goes nothing.  This is my theodicy:\n---------------------------------------------------------\nFirst, let's start by defining "evil."  Evil is not a force or a created thing, so it would be faulty to use the circular logic that either God created evil (meaning God isn't good) or that God isn't the Creator of everything (since He didn't create evil).\n\nEvil is the absence of good, much like rust on a car.  God, by giving us free will, allowed us to "create" evil by choosing against Him.  For, if God is good, then to choose against Him would by evil and the consequences would be death (since God gives life).  Just as darkness is the absence of light, so evil is the absence of good.\n\nSometimes evil is the perversion of good.  Cancer is a good non-moral example.  It's a harmful mutation of otherwise healthy cells.  Whether evil twists good or flat-out rejects it, the results are the same.\n\nEvil is not God's fault.  He created only good and we distorted it, which is evil.\n\nEnough on this topic.  I'm leaving a few loose ends and there's much more to say on this, but I would be getting off track.\n\nSecond, let's point out a major implication of the question.  Anyone who asks our topic question for today is demonstrating the influence of Christianity on western thinking.  Hindus don't ask this question.  Animists don't grapple with it.  To them, the gods themselves are evil and corrupt and evil is to be an expected, embraced part of this world.  Suck it up and live with it.  It's the ying and the yang.  The Dark Side and the Light Side of the Force.  It's still the same Force.\n\nBut by asking the question, you are saying that there is a definite "evil" in this world that can be defined and identified.  There's something wrong and not right.  There is injustice.  And you presume that whoever this God fellow is, it's supposed to be His job to oppose this stuff and He's doing a lousy job.\n\nThis is a Christian worldview:  that evil is not normal and should be opposed.  The Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. are Christian influences in our society.  There is something in us as human beings that desires to fight injustice, help the suffering, etc.  This would make sense if we are made in God's image... but I'm getting off track again.  Let's move to the third point.\n\nThe question is usually vague and impersonal.  What I mean is that people who ask this question usually have in mind for God to go over and fix that mess in Iraq, or do something about sweat shops and child labor in China.  Why doesn't He oppose child pornography, or hold to account genocide in Africa?\n\nBut they don't want God to interfere with the sin and evil in their own hearts and lives.\n\nSee, for God to come in judgment, He would have to be fully just and judge all...  and this brings me to my final point.\n\nThe question neglects another key element of God's character.  Yes, He is good.  Yes, He is omnipotent.  But He is also merciful.  This may seem like a contradiction (i.e., why would He then allow suffering?), but let me explain.\n\nGod holds back His judgment with patient love in order to give us time to repent and be set right.  The painful side of this is that we also then have more time choose evil.  But the day will come when He will judge the earth.  The sweat shop owners will be held to account...and so will you and I.  God is good.  He is perfect, holy, and righteous.  He is pure.  He opposes evil.  We all have evil in our lives:  the t
