Thanks for taking the trouble. I guess I can make a mental note to suspect translation differences on blatant apparent contradictions such as the one in my little aside about "in His image" versus "omniscient, etc."

Thank you so much for your reply!

Again I return to the point that my eyes read the Bible, but the Spirit within me reads the Word.

The difference is breathtaking, because those of us with the indwelling of the Spirit are parts of one Being and read it all the same, i.e. the mind of Christ. Those of us who are reading with the eyes have disagreements.
