When the Bible says, when creating, what kind of Bible (Genesis 1: 27) tells, "Are we images of God?" I've heard this repeatedly, but I really do not understand what that means. Can you explain this to me? Have the guilty people keep "the statue of God" or have Eve lost to Adam, did Eve ate the forbidden fruit of time?
This is a good question. Today, the church sometimes stops quite a few people asking myself what Imagodai really is. If you taught them about the doctrine of that belief in the blasphemy, who can come up with even fewer answers
You say "possession" of the image of the people of God. We replied that the image of God is not what human beings are given. In the point that Biblical scholar DJA CLINES in his original article "The image of the man of God" (Tyndall Bulletin 19, 1968, 53-103) claimed, the Hebrew preposition ("middle") phrase betsalmenu, An example of an image in "betsalmo," an essential Beth of Bess' essentiae "or" (Genesis 1:27) should be considered as "in the image". We noticed that you are hard to figure out if you do not know any Hebrew, but the focus is not, but "God creates human as his image" and easy to translate "God made a man with his image." Klein so that he said in his conclusion remarks: "So, according to Genesis 1, people are God You can say that you do not have the image of God, and that it is made with the image of God, he is an image of God. "And human beings were created in the Creator" copy "or" graphic image " It's an official, visible, understandable form, showing who the god is or what he is,
Whether mankind will destroy sins or eliminate the image of God? There is not - it just damages or destroys it. That is an important difference as Imago is different from the rest of the creation as we are. As theologian Luis Berkov put it, because the image is the most unique expression, human beings relationship with God, "The doctrine of the statue of God in human theology is most important, It is an image and the difference between away animals and all other organisms (systematic theology, p. 206)
In other words, it is human image to be human, human image is not human, can not lose his image not seen. In addition, just because he also breaks and distorts the shape, it not only stores it, but also a man can deserve redemption and redemption. Without it, there is no reason to force God for his son to die for us. This is the critical point of view, not just from the strict theological point of view, but also to practical problems such as sanctity of human life and so on.

Discussion needs to start with the sense of the image of God. Christian faith acknowledges that all human creatures of God are made with the image of God. This means that they provide maintenance and security, they must be treated with dignity. Discussions over the texts of the Bible are of little use. The only way to change the view of the people on this is to let them know that they happen to be gay or bisexual people, they are just like us you find. To overcome our fears, I think that this is basically afraid, as people know it means to confirm that they are not a threat. Some people may have a gender difference that we like, or we do not like people, but they are made with images of all Gods. Among its negative fixed ideas, in my opinion, this is perfectly a misunderstanding of Christian faith
Often, we have a fundamental misunderstanding of the meaning of the image of God. This is not to "create" to "create" as an image of God. Our ability, created with the image of God, is not our identity. To the image of God we are originally default for us, our very creative. We are blessed with a unique position on behalf of God, there are no biological or other information that can be copied. A unique identity is the reason for
