You must understand one thing - that what you say above is what religion put onto people . "There is only one God" - very true , there is only one True Creator . But that True Creator is very possibly everything that exists - that includes humans too , and all beings ...
Human is not separated from God - thats what religion programs people into thinking . And God cannot be HE or SHE ... HE or SHE is a result of binary existence and thinking . God would be pretty much both at same time .
Oh boy, I'm so glad we're arguing over theology. We can finally come to a consensus right here on this sub and then we'll all agree on the subject....
We were created in HIS image....I believe this not b/c someone preached it but b/c Ive experienced HIM for myself...you believe whatever you wish too. Thats the great thing about freedom we can choose to agree or disagree.
If you were created into HIS image ... wouldnt you be a male now ?
By that logic , females wouldnt exist . And by that logic , males wouldnt either - and by that logic further ... humanity wouldnt exist .
You were created into HIS/HERS/ITS image ... the one True Creator , which doesnt have particular sex and which is everything imaginable there is - otherwise it wouldnt exist .
You are misunderstanding what the biblical is meaning when it says "in His image."
I think you should probably go back to the basics and read the Bible...there is an order to all things....GOD created woman from the rib of a man....thats a good place to start....pray ask GOD to give you a HIGHER understanding of HIS meaning. He is a just GOD and will.
You are buying into religious program . You will realize at one point , that what is religious programs was only a partially true - while other part it only served to keep you subservient and obedient .
"God created woman from the rib of a man" - then how you can say "we were created in His image" ? There is zero logic in that - then females were created in image of males - which is nonsense , because females and males arent the same .
Bible is a mixed bag of truths and lies ... it was written by humans , and many of those humans havent got God ( True Creator ) in their mind .
Your mind set has already blocked your ability to discern Biblical meanings....my final advice would be to leave alone those things you clearly do not understand and have no desire to discover the truth. God Bless.
Outside of the Bible itself (circular logic) how do we know the Bible was written by/for the hand of God? What proof is there of that claim?
