With the authority of Christ

to reject is to reject Christ

lk 10:16 he who hears you(THE 1st century church APOSTLES ONLY) hears me
He who rejects you rejects me
Yep, the original Apostles. Not anyone that claims to be one.

Image of God means HE is ELOHIM Son who is ELOHIM Father who is ELOHIM Holy Spirit.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

5Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

6Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

8Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

No one can fully understand this nor even wrap their head around it.
WHY? Because HE is God and we are not...........
No, image means REFLECTION!

God REFLECTS Himself to the world THROUGH Jesus.

no the father son and spirit are three persons with one divine nature

The father
The son
The spirit

is God

but individuals separate persons

like you, me and pearl are three persons, individuals, unique
Yes the same human nature
Again, do you think per Isaiah 9:6, the human nature(child/son) and the divine nature(Mighty God) are the same nature?

NOTICE: The Scripture does NOT, in any way, denote that THEIR Image was flesh.

NOTICE #2: Figure of Him to come again does not denote flesh but something else - find out what that is.
Was man made in the image of an omnipresent Spirit, God?

Are you?

Yeah - When the WORD became flesh - NOT Before.
No, the word was MADE flesh....God spoke a sperm cell into Mary's egg.

And here is the result...

19 To wit, that God was in(INSIDE) Christ, reconciling the world unto himself(GOD)....

Reflection....

Ancient prayer and hymn to the Holy Spirit

Come Holy Ghost, fill the hearts which thou hast made, and enkindle within us the fire of divine Love!

Come Holy Ghost creator blest and in hearts take up Thy rest!

Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid and fill the heart which Thou hast made!

Here is another prayer/ hymn
  1. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
    Fill me with life anew,
    That I may love what Thou dost love,
    And do what Thou wouldst do.
  2. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
    Until my heart is pure,
    Until with Thee I will one will,
    To do and to endure.
  3. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
    Till I am wholly Thine,
    Until this earthly part of me
    Glows with Thy fire divine.
  4. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
    So shall I never die,
    But live with Thee the perfect life
    Of Thine eternity.

To assist in producing the son of man.

Clue #2
Then Mary said:

“My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior! 48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant.

From now on all generations will call me blessed. 49For the Mighty One has done great things for me.

Holy is His name. 50His mercy extends to those who fear Him,

from generation to generation. 51He has performed mighty deeds with His arm;

He has scattered those who are proud

in the thoughts of their hearts. 52He has brought down rulers from their thrones,

but has exalted the humble. 53He has filled the hungry with good things,

but has sent the rich away empty. 54He has helped His servant Israel,

remembering to be merciful, 55as He promised to our fathers,

to Abraham and his descendants forever.”

I know all that.

Now, did Mary assist in the conception of Christ?

Was Jesus pre-conceived by God alone and inseminated in Mary?

1
Our blest Redeemer ere He breathed
His tender last farewell,
A guide, a comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2
He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,
While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
3
And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each fault, that calms each fear
With peace of heav’n.
4
And every virtue we possess,
And every victory won,
And every thought of holiness,
Are His alone.
5
Lord, in Thy purity and grace,
Our weakness pitying see;
Oh, make our heart Thy dwelling place,
And worthier Thee.
