Religion / Re: Is Man Truly In The Image Of God? by Thorns: 12:57pm On May 07, 2010
Mudley313:

sorry to burst you bubble cos "GOD" (the christian god i.e) was created in the image of "MAN". . .by man, same as other (man-made) gods




this he why he possesses "human" attributes, like anger, jealousy, bias (having a favorite people) etc given to him by the "humans" who created him (ancient jewish normads, in the case of the christian god). Its also why he lives in a "kingdom" (remember how the ancients were ruled by kings) with humanly like chararcteristics like road paved with gold and mansions (this is a place dat is suppose to be spiritual, but its described more physically/materialistically by man) n he sits in a throne (like human kings) n passes judgement to the guilty n all dat bullsh.t. there was even an uprising (an unsuccessful coup d'etat) sometime, initiated by some guy called satan




*shake my head* @ full grown adults taking all these cock n bull tales seriously


COCK AND BULL STORY MAN. Lol. lOOKS LIKE U DONT BLIV/LIKE GOD. Ok. LETS HEAR UR OWN STORY. WHOSE IMAGE ARE U? LOL LOL LOL

Based on de sripture cited, man was created in d image of God. Ds image transcends de corporal, the flesh though not all excusive 4 Christ also took our flesh. The image is more of spiritual for God is also Spirit. There certain qualities in man dt is not found in lower animals of which we sometimes qualify(though insufficient) God: will, love, freedom etc, and d concept of soul & conscience (though i dont think God has any).
The 'whys' goes back to the original state of man be4 d fall and what happened after it when man's will has become distorted so dt man can choose anything he likes even to d abhorrence of God. Deformity is left foe God.

First of all Jesus came into ds world not 2 assert his divinity but 2 redeem man. Ds thgs cropped up as d jews needed 2 be convinced.
1. Jesus is a divine being wt two natures divine and human hypostatically joined 2geda (see Jn 1:1,14, phil 2:6-8 the Word was God, took flesh; tho he was in the FORM of God, taking the FORM of a servant, reconcile that
  Jesus was of d same being  wt the Father Jn1:1, Heb1:3, Col 1:15,19. So while jesus was on earth as man it is reasonable dt he submit himself 2 his Father phil 2:6
2.the statement does not imply blivin seperately 4 2 bliv in God is to bliiv in Jesus and vice versa Jn 14: 7,11,22
3. God is a whole being not comprising of parts. Jesus said dt 4 de man did not acknowledge him as God/Lord but as a master - an appelletion given 2 d rabbis of his time. D4 it is 4 d man 2 kno dt Goodness is an attribute of God of wch he is an not of man, an later he would call himself the GOOD SHEPHERD jn 10:11
4. See Phil 2: 6-8. Do u not distinguish the personalities there- the One on the throne and the Lamb. That a husband and wife joined 2 become one flesh (matt 19:6) does not mean dt d man has become a woman (ANALOGY).
Dt they were praisin The One and d Lamb. How would u like em 2 sing d praise?
For d H.Sp see verse 6
5. How can you bliv in God whom U hav not seen Jn 1:18, wtout blivin in Jesus his Image Col 1:15,19, whom He sent Jn 14:7,11, JN 15:23, Jn 3:16 and yet there is doom 4 those who do not bliv in d Son Jn 3:18.
6. The water there is d symbol of d H.Spirit. See Jn 7:37-39 ' if anyone is thirsty let him come, the rivers of livin water shall flow, he was speakin of d H.Sp  wch will be given , '
Concernin d throne, how many throne(s) did u read there? Where is d Lamb sitting? On a stool?
7. The H.Sp-will not be teachin a new doctrine ( read well and reasonably); and how can Xt teach thgs dt contradict his Father's will?
On authority, see mt 28:18, mt 5 - 'u av heard,  But 'I' say, ' in Israel only God address em as such. See also Mk2:10,  The authority of God the Father is that of Christ but Jesus said dt in order 2 bear witness 2 his father.
8. Dt is because He is God. -Trinity
jn 10:30,  your explanatn of dt is irrational.
Jn 14:20. Who taught u dt? Where is your soul if u bliv u hav any? And yet it is mysteriously joined 2geda tho both are seperate entities wch are seperated at death? And to be reunited at the end time? (ANALOGY)

Man looks like u're a J.Witness. One thing is clear, if God reveals/ed 2 man everything about Himself (God), he will cease 2 be acknowledged and no man will worship Him and therefore, He gave us much dt is enough 4 our ackowledgement of Him and 4 our salvation. Jesus is God. There is Trinity. If U say dt Jesus is the Son of God, in wt sense do u mean? Born of a woman? And be4 Abraham he was. How can u acct 4 his existence pre-creation? See Jn 1

Cockie:

She was born with a 6th finger and a dreadlock(dada) hair.she is christian.there was this dream she had;she was playing a ball game on a beach with some people and they disappear one after the other.afterward,forces held her legs and pull into the river.while down there,she shouted JESUS And she came back to surface.what could all this mean?.Please serious comments only.
born wt a 6th finger means notin - can be mutation. The dada has bn linked 2 occult world Wt fears surroundin d death of d person if barbed , But if in doubt, may go 2 a COMPETENT minister 4 prayers be4, De dream is a sign dt sm dark forces are tryin 2 lay hold of her. She's a xtian - baptized? If not should be baptized in xtian way- baptism consecrates one to GOD ALONE and no other. Should go along & pray. If catholic see a priest.

sinequanon:

OK, I am not religious but I am interested in understanding the sense in which Christians say Christ died for all of mankind.

My question is this. If Jesus had not have died on the cross, what would have happened differently to mankind?
from ur question u made us understand dt Christ's death brought a difference in d world. Those differences would not av been there had he not died. Thats rational.
