Like others have stated he is using our as the trinity.
God is of course human form I mean if not we would appear to be apes.

Perhaps someone could actually define what "our image" implies.

Well If you think of it this way.
We all look different but have similiar charteristics.
We all have eyes but some are brown,blue,green,hazel,gray,and blue green etc.
I mean who is to say what "our image" really was. Maybe he just made a mold and went from there.
Adding different colors to his canvas.
We are God's masterpiece all of us.

Well since someone has pointed out that "no one has seen gods face", how do we know what he/she/it looks like anyhow?
We all have notions of what their personal idea of the appearance of god. We also have ideas about what angels look like, from art, and other media. We even have an idea about the appearance of the arch enemy, right?
My point is: How do we know any of this is anything close to being accurate? In fact, why would this celestial being, this enigmatic creator of all NEED a physical shell to begin with? And, if this creator doesn't need a physical, corporeal form, then why do we have one? If, indeed, we are 'in his image', shouldn't we be lacking in physicality, and be more akin to 'spheres of energy'?

Jmpd,
You are so correct. I mean no one has seen the face of God. We are only to interpret this with the basis of what the scripture says.
We created men in "our image"
I also believe that God is what one would say invisble. I mean aren't all things spiritual unseen?
Also there have been accounts of people seeing angels in the Bible. But I don't know if what a person sees is what is in their minds eye. I believe as mere humans we would not be able to look upon the true face of God until we are in Heaven.
I have personally seen a ghost or spirit. But I did not see the face. So maybe one can look upon the body but not the face.
Sorry if I am ranting.

Let's debunk it! It's a widely debateable verse, but here's some of the interpretations:1) It's a hint at the NT's talk about the Holy Trinity- the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
2) It's God talking to Himself in plural
3) God is talking to His court of angels.
What He's talking about in His own image is He created man in His own image- which is a special gift He bestowed to us. We could have looked like 3- legged giraffe necked flying banana muffins, but He chose for us to look like Him, which I think is pretty awesome
I must say I like this answer.

My understanding is from Baptist bible school. God made man in his image meaning with many of His own abilitys, examples.
1. The ability to either create or destroy.
2. The ability to pro-create or take a life.
3. The ability for un-conditional love. "Agape" you may want to research this unique hebrew word it does not translate well into english.
Not only did God create us in His spiritual image He created Himself in our image though Jesus. Now thats a compliment to us as humans and explains by action that He truly is Agape.
All the best

Most people do not want to know the truth they only want confirmation for what they think is truth.

That's what many people believe to be true. It's basically the theory that we made up God and the stories in the bible to better explain certain things and as a sort of guideline for life.

I agree with Mako on this one. We are debating on stories that are shown to be myths really. The Genesis story can be found, slightly different but definitely as the source, in Mesopotamia many centuries before the Bible was written.
If you follow man made dogma then you will not find the truth in your life time.
IMO of course.

My intention is not to debunk your religion but to correct the inaccuracies that have crept into it over the centuries. I can back my statements up with strong evidence. Incidentally TD, have your figured out when Jesus was born yet?
Thanks Boris, for the support
Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption are common, Children no longer obey their parents. Every man wants to write a book, and the end of the world evidently is approaching.

My 2 cents worth. Jesus died what when he was in his mid-early 30's. Thousands of people were their to witness this event. Why then did it take so long for someone to write about it. One would think that there would be hundreds of written scriptures? but there is only one book that tells of this ever happening why
