God, in creating man, said first, "Let us make man in our image [or, shadow, semblance], according to our likeness." (Genesis 1:26, 27, ftn) Since God's Son stated that his Father is "a Spirit," this rules out any physical likeness between God and man. (John 4:24) Rather, man has qualities reflecting, or mirroring, those of his heavenly Maker, qualities that positively distinguish man from the animal creation.

there are 354 words that mean god in the bible
Living image of Amun, who is an Egyptian god.
Imago Dei is a Latin phrase meaning "image of God". That is, humans are created in the image of God. And it doesn't mean "the physical image", because there is nothing like God, no shape or place can involve Him, but it means that God gave us some of His characters, eg: we hear, we see, we c an create, we can be merciful, we can be strong,... etc, but not with the same degree and form that God has, nor can be compared with His.
Jesus isn't the image of God, He is God. His nature is Holy.
'To be made in the image and likeness of God' means that God created humans to how He wanted them to look like, and that He made humans as His imperfect reflections. Basically, God made humans based on Himself and how He wanted them to look like.
No, because God isn't physical. Being in God's image refers to our soul, our conscience, our self-awareness. See also:Can you show that God exists?
We humans are made in God's image. Genesis 1:27 says, "And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him, male and female he created them." Being made in God's image does not mean that we were made to look like him because he is a spirit person, John 4:24 says, " God is a spirit." When he created us in his image it means that he created us with his qualities, and the ability to use them.
If you are a true CHRISTIAN follower of God then his image is not needed at all.

It depends on what you mean, "just an imagination"... If you mean religiously, then yes... God created us in his image, god has no image, he's everwhere, so how could he 'build' us to see everything he does? we're just a mere remnant of something much greater....
It means that ; God thought that we would be the most evovled and smart, so he said that if humans(the smartest and most evolved) were to be in his own body image, we could better succeed
Tutankhamen means "Living Image of Amun" (Amun being the Egyptian god of creation)
These are two different words for God. It means God the Lord.
We can understand about God the Mother through the Bible. Let us study through the Bible to discover the existence of our God the Mother. Gen. 1:26-27 『Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.』 The above verse states that God has two images-a male image and a female image. Until now, we have only known and called upon the male image of God: "Father." Then how should we call upon the female image of God? Logically, we should refer to God's female image as "Mother." This is why God had said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness."
AnswerThere is only one 'The Word' which is why it is written as 'The Word' and not 'a word'.This Word was God and is God eternally.It is this one and only true and living God that man is not only in the image of but to whom man will have to give account. Since man is in God's image, He will also have to account to God for what He does with himself.AnswerThe word is a part of the GOD EXISTENCE and there are many words in Existence just as there are many people in Existence each has it's own originality yet there are many words the same but used in different ways with a different meaning that is the words that man is in the image thereof and by the words we were created. My word may be my name for all will receive a new name or word where by he may enter with it as the pass word to eternal life, righteousness has many words faith, trust, hope, obedience, love, humility etc.
TO BE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE MEANS THAT GOD IS VERY MUCH LIKE US. GOD HAS A BODY OF FLESH AND BONE.
In Genesis, the Word of God states that God created man (singular) in His own image, in the image of God they (plural meaning Trinity) created him (man - singular). Read the first chapter of Genesis.Answer:Yes.God created man in Their image [Gen.1:26], originally.Then, man began to make gods of other men [his own image]... as well as most every other thing that God created.
Well, it depends what u mean does it have words in it if this is what it mean great. it does have words in it like god,fog and to
Man is the creation of his own image and not the image of any thing or any one else he is his own god
It means that no one can top God. He is superior to all.
Here it clearly says that god created mankind in his very own image.
Deity, Supreme Being.
Christ is God> His blood is called the blood of God. Acts20:28 His physical body is the visible image of his invisible Spirit. Like how our body is the visible image of our invisible soul.
Well...I would have to go more in depth for you to understand. We are made in God's likeness and just like how we have a soul spirit and image(body), so does God! God's soul = the father, spirit = Holy Spirit, image = Jesus. The soul, spirit and body makes up one being, just like how our soul spirit and body make our being. If you didn't have the image(body) you wouldn't have any identity (if you know what i mean) and if you didn't have a soul you wouldn't have feelings, emotions etc etc. So nothing should lack. Still, your spirit is YOU, our image is YOU, and your soul is YOU. Same with God, His spirit is GOD, his image is GOD and his soul is GOD - and altogether they are God, just like your soul spirit image altogether is you. I hope you understand what I'm saying. So anyway, back to the question, if you mean that does Jesus look like the Father, no He doesn't. The Father (soul) is invisible. Collosians 1:15 "He is the image of the invisible God". Well I hope you have a better understanding of the trinity and of the image of God etc! Answer Yes, Jesus looks very much like God--on a spiritual level.
