Made in Gods image?

i cannot percieve how man can be made in Gods image


i look at my own deteriorating body and consider its many faults


I look at the skin growths, the irregularities, the failing


i consider my youth and my bodys failure to meet


even a small amount of beauty requirements,


big belly


no butt


fatt hips


no boobs


bow legs


big feet


knobby knees


horse teeth


big lips


pug nose


small eyes


hair where there shouldn't be


i look at man kind in pictures and see


an almost garbage heap representation


haggard miskept mishapen, foul in appearance and foul in smell, and foul in deed and thought


in all aspects foul and most often...hopeless





There are men and women of every race who look like Gods


there are those who think like Gods


there are those who act like God


and there are those who love like God





they are very far and few between.





more often than not


i recoil from the entirety of mankind and the visage I see in the mirror


and something within me says


how can man be made in Gods image


and represent such apathy, unkemptness, and regrettable miscreation


how can this be Gods image





is the fall from grace so destructive that it turns man into this


tortured gargoyle representation of God





and i can't wrap my mind or heart around it


my understanding is too limited.





Where what when and how can I find an exact representation of man


made in Gods image,


does such a thing exist


or is it a mythical what was once.





it disturbs me


because those I am to have mercy upon


repulse me completely,


their mind, their heart, their vision, their bodies


fill me with a nihilistic horror


wrapped in twisted hopeless dread.

Reply:I think it's more likely that God was created in the image of man. Why else would he have such a violent temper?
Reply:God gave us a Spirit thats what it means in the images of God to me. We have a soul.
Reply:You have to understand that we are made in Gods image, but when Adam ate of the fruit, that brought in sickness and diesese, because Satan then became ruler of this world, so the corruption that he was came into the world.
Reply:If that's true - he must be well hung - look at John Holmes.
Reply:you are made in God's image, the upkeep is all up to you. and from listening to all that babbling drivel its clear you haven't been getting your oil changes regularly.
Reply:God ISN'T A PHYSICAL MATERIAL BEING...I THINK WHEN IT SAID IN HIS OWN IMAGE I THINK IT IS THE IMAGE OF THE SOUL, OR LIGHT, COMPASSION AND EMOTIONS AND REASONING, CONSCIOUSNESS...ETC IT THINK IT IS A SPIRITUAL IMAGE NOT SO MUCH A PHYSICAL.
Reply:You are looking only at your shell, your body.. You are more than that. You are mind as well, and spirit too. All three of these are needed to make you, You.. You can't be you without your mind. You can't be you if your body is not there. And you can't be you without some spiritual being... You are a triune person. Three that make up one.. That is how you are in the image of God.. He is also 3 that are one... IHS Jim
Reply:people who created god were not very creative, so created god in human image, well atheists have better imagination-just think about the invisible pink unicorn or the flying spaghetti monster!
Reply:Yet another person who apparently believes beauty can only exist on a magazine cover. You know what? Get some SELF ESTEEM! Stop worrying about being pretty, you obviously we're not born with a movie star forte, so live your life as a way you like. And maybe god is ugly, so what? beauty is subjective, no?
Reply:Spiritual image not physical. I think people like to think God looks like us physically. Once again, man creating God in his image. God is Spirit. Spirit is not a corporeal being.

John 1:3,5,24;


Col.1:15-17;


The one we know as Christ Jesus is the first creation created in the image of


God and a heaven being same as God. Gen.1:26; God said,"Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." We are born in the imperfections of sin and dying from birth so that death and desease can happen any time, as we are the offsprings of Adam and innocent of all this. Christ Jesus will save all from this in the time frame given, we can know all but the day and the hour that this process begans. 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53;
Reply:“God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.” (Gen. 1:27) Being made in God’s image does not mean that we were made so as to look like God, but, that God put in the first humans the potential, the ability to exercise His own qualities. They became God's children. And most children to to act like their father or mother. In fact, sometimes a son is so much like his father that he is called “a chip off the old block.” And so it should be with us. Remember we are urged to “become imitators of God, as beloved children.” (Eph. 5:1)
Reply:Lighten up on yourself.


Yes you and I are made in God's image we are designed to be able to fellowship with God unlike the animals. Did you know that the Bible says that Jesus was not good looking at all? It describes Jesus as someone you would totally ignore in a crowd. The thing that drew people to Jesus is His love and concern for people from all walks of life. His GLORIFIED body IS beautiful as will be yours.
Reply:You are still able to reason, be articulate, and be creative. So indeed, you are still in the image of God, though marred by sin. Indeed, fall from grace is very destructive. But note: "Image of God" is not limited to the physical. Bible says, "God is spirit..." (John 4:24) and not limited by space. You are not your body.





As to "exact representation", look to Jesus who is said to be "the radiance of God's glory and exact representation of the Father" (Hebrews 11:3). In him alone there's salvation...Not only of your soul, but also of your body in resurrection (Romans 8:22-23; 1 Corinthians 15:53-57).
