No, image means REFLECTION!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...........
Again, do you think per Isaiah 9:6, the human nature(child/son) and the divine nature(Mighty God) are the same nature?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
Was man made in the image of an omnipresent Spirit, God?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.
No, image means REFLECTION!
God REFLECTS Himself to the world THROUGH Jesus.
Was man made in the image of an omnipresent Spirit, God?
Are you?
No, the word was MADE flesh....God spoke a sperm cell into Mary's egg.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....
In Mary's ovaries without her egg cell involved?YES, the WORD, who created ALL things, BECAME ( made for Himself) flesh(HE took on human form= of a man).
In Mary's ovaries without her egg cell involved?
To assist in producing the son of man.What was Mary's purpose in God's Plan?
To assist in producing the son of man.
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!
To assist in producing the son of man.
Was Mary his biological mother or not?To assist is not correct.
Clue: Genesis
I know all that.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.”
Great post.
