By creating us in His own image (Genesis 1:27), with a godly soul and free-will, God has given us the capacity to reflect His qualities and moral standards; His sense of right and wrong.

How would you use the old testament to reply to someone who says that in all religions we make God in our image?

The Bible says God was in existence before man: Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. and man was created in God's image. Genesis 1:26,27 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.


What happened on the sixth and seventh day of creation?

Why did god create human being?

Gods did not create humans. All other gods are false gods and are not living gods except for Satan who is the god of this system of things, however he is also a spirit creature. There is only one God who created humans and his name Is Jehovah. He is the creator of the entire universe not just humans. He is a living God. God is a spirit and humans cannot see spirits, the angels are also spirit creatures.


Did God make man in his image or did man make God in his image?

Clearly the standard answer from the Bible and most other historical and literary sources is that God made man in His image. However the wording of the question, and the fact that the author failed to capitalize "god" though it was used as a name, indicates that this person most likely disagrees with this answer and is instead raising a philosophical question. In other words, is God real, or did we make him up? (the questioner is clearly interested in the existence of the monotheistic God of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, etc..., as the question refers to "god" in the singular and uses a familiar biblical phrase) It certainly sounds like a reasonable hypothesis to say that humans could have made up a god to suit their needs; Needs for security, purpose, love, immortality. Of course most people throughout history and today, both educated and not so, have concluded that this hypothesis is incorrect. One cannot say this with scientific certainty, but one also cannot support this hypothesis with scientific certainty. In the end this question has been argued in one form or another for most of human history. A wiki answer will hardly be capable of touching on more than a small sliver of the evidence, which would not do justice to the question. Good luck in your search.

Well, since people have created god as the embodiment of all the things that they wanted to aspire to (an ideal image of humanity), you can create your own god by creating your own image of the perfect you.
