Is it intellect that helps you to be a Christian? Is that why The Savior picked Fishermen, For Their Intellect. Most Mormons believe more of the Bible than most Christians I have had discussion with.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, let us make man in our own image, after our likeness. Chrisians say: It doesn’t mean that! Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam, in the day that God created man in the likeness of God made he him.
Genesis 5:3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image and called his name Seth. THE LANGUAGE IS THE SAME. WE ARE THE IMAGE OF GOD PHYSICALLY.
JESUS APPEARS 3 TIMES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, WITH A BODY, AND ATE WITH THE APOSTLES: John 23:5,14, verse 25 says there are not enough books to contain all that Jesus said. Why then is the Bible all we need of His word.
Why did Christ appear 3 times with a body and ascend into heaven with a body? What is the message, he did nothing without teaching us!!
OK, if this means a literal physical image, then ya wanna explain whose image Eve was made in? (Or are you saying, in some sexist sort of way, that only men -- and not women -- were made in the divine image?)
The fact that God & Jesus created both men and women shows that Gen. 1:26 cannot be referencing a literal male body of your god.
Did you even read what you typed??
Well I'll be, looks like you're right!
I apologize!
Did you even read what you typed?? in his own likeness, and after his image and called his name Seth. [elsie citing Gen. 5]
40 Abel, the first martyr, was there, and his brother Seth, one of the mighty ones, who was in the express image of his father, Adam. [Elsie citing D&C 138:40]
So, lawsone, you're in the Brigham Young - Joseph F. Smith teaching vein in believing that Adam was god, and we were made in his image? Brigham taught that for over 25 years, starting in the early 1850s. Joseph F. Smith's D&C 138 was written in 1918.
