"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.Again, I don't think you understand the words you keep using, for this is not a simile, it is a metaphor.
Simile: a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, as in she is like a rose.Metaphor, now that is a little harder to spot, but only a little harder.
noun
a figure of speech that expresses a resemblance between things of different kinds (usually formed with 'like' or 'as')
nounThe metaphor of the "Chicks" is obvious, he is talking to the Jews about trying to lead them in paths of righteousness, and they will not obey. The metaphor will be obvious to all who read it, except for you apparently who thinks God is now a Chicken.
a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in A mighty fortress is our God.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.I would have to assume, since GOD commanded these words to be written, that 'he' would have to be a 'he/she', for it plainly 'says' Male&Female.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
So God created man in his own imageSo, God created Adam in his image, Adam, not Adam and Eve.
in the image of God created he him;So, Adam is in God's image, not Adam and Eve, just Adam, and BTW both Adam and Jesus Christ were created in the "Express image" of God, neither was a hermaphrodite.
male and female created he them.So, now God is speaking in the plural (sorry if I am moving to fast here) and is saying that he created mankind in both male a female genders, specifically, Adam is the Male and Eve is the Female.
Any one want to have fun with DU?
God the Father has a body and he’s posted Scripture to prove it.
I am at a loss; I may lose my faith over his evidence.
I may have to join the LDS organization; headquartered in SLC.
(No, wait; them ex-RLDS folks are closer and they don’t have an albatross of polygamy hanging over them.
