He graces them with all things that are unique and common to all humans.

Like what? Two legs, two eyes, speech, reason, etc? The fact is they are predistined by the Reformed God to be evil. Is evil imago dei?

Apparently our Reformed friends believe so.

No, of course evil is not the image of God. But neither is eating or sexual reproduction. What's your point? :) I was trying to say that God gives good graces to the reprobate that He does not give to lower animals. That's just true.

I know you all don't believe in original sin, but you do believe in something like it, right? Is whatever THAT is imago dei? I'm sure you'd say no.
