mankind has been made in the likeness or image of God. Seeing as we all look different this likeness must refer to the soul. ------------- Thank you Wafflehead, How did you ever choose a name like that? Your comments are certainly not waffle. To understand what it means to be in God's image please consider these Scriptures. (Colossians 3:9, 10) Do not be lying to one another. Strip off the old personality with its practices,?and clothe yourselves with the new [personality], which through accurate knowledge is being made new according to the image of the One who created it, An accurate understanding of God's qualities can enable a person to reflect God's personality. Ephesians 5:1 Jesus who perfectly reflected God's personality could say:"Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also." John14:9
