Tonio, God’s firstborn Son, who later became the man Jesus, is in his Father’s image. - 2 Cor 4:4. That Son was obviously the one to whom God spoke in saying, “Let us make man in our image,” - Gen 1:26

Sorry MrGordon that's not what scripture says. Jesus is the only begotten Son and the only begotten God. The Word became flesh.

You believe that the Word was a god , an angel
Unless the Word is a true God, we are only made in the image of a True God and a false god or worse an angel. That same angel who you say only achieved the exact representation of [God’s] very being after the resurrection . At mans' creation how far short of Gods' image was this angel that we are the image of?
