What does it mean?

[Ovedya]

I have a question on a particular scripture and hope that I have placed this topic in the correct forum.

My question is simple. What does this scripture mean?

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27

I have a question of my own. Why would one who is obviously well versed in Scripture ask such a rudimentary question?

Agenda?

That is why I am asking in the opening post what that verse in Genesis means. Especially since 2 Corinthians 4:4 shows, to me, that it is Christ who is made in the image of God: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

"God created man in his own image"

"Christ, who is the image of God"

Not to be insulting, but does it take an English teacher to explain to you the difference between "created in the image of" and "is the image of"?

I am truly baffled by your line of reasoning.

Nebula,

No insult taken. As a matter of fact, I rejoice and thank God that you notice the little words! The defining words.

I wrestle a little with whether to go into my reasoning or not, but perhaps it would be helpful.

I think it may have been you and I who spoke briefly in another thread about the meaning of Christ. That it came from the Greek word, christos and it means: anointed, or the anointed one. The word messiah means the same thing.

This anointing enables the serving of God in a position of responsibility and sometimes will also provide divine enablement.

When Jesus made His proclamation, or announcement, of who He was, He said:

18

Grace to you,

Christ is not the Holy Spirit although the two are One.

Christ did not merely have an anointing or portion.

Christ was God come in the flesh. He was and is incarnate.

Who do you say Jesus is Permie?

Peace,

Dave

Permie,

You are making this way more complicated than it has to be...

To Everyone that has replied recently,

I have a few things that I need and want to do today that will require postponing replying to your posts right away.

Except, I do wish to one out of order.

Permie,

Are you going to answer the question?

Who is Jesus? Is He God come in the flesh, incarnate?

Peace,

Dave,

I regret that you did not see my earlier post that informed that I had things that I needed and wanted to attend to today. And that I would be replying to the additional posts later sometime as I prefer not to be distracted when replying. I have family from out of town here. Nevertheless, with your insistence that I reply immediately, I told my brother... hang on, there's this person....

Yes. Jesus is not only my God, but He is also my Lord, Savior and High Priest. Jesus is Lord.

Peace be upon you.
