Thanks for the response.

I assumed you just make a mistake,and was offering you a chance to correct it.

Now, you provide the quote from Genesis, where it has both... ‘our image, after our likeness’.

This totally destroys your assertion that ‘Adam was made “in the Image of God” but Seth was born in the “likeness and Image of Adam…” .

Do you see what I am talking about ?

I’m not criticizing the rest of your piece. I enjoy reading your articles. I just don’t understand how I am supposed to accept a contradictory argument in support of the main theme of the article.

Thanks UCANSEE2, I appreciate your comments and can see where I would appear contradictory. Communication with clarity is a difficult but worthwhile pursuit.
I was trying to say in the rest of the article that Seth, and all of the children of Adam, have indeed inherited the Image of God from our first father, but we have also inherited Adam’s fallen nature,(ie the Image of Adam). This is the human condition since the fall, and can only be remedied by the work of the “Last Adam” through the new birth. I hope this helps. Thanks again!
