    Validity of Scripture, the Apocrypha versus the King James

    I can’t think of a good reason not to thank God for all who copied the manuscripts, no matter what they did with them.

    Were Angels Made in the Image of God?

    What is the strongest argument against the angels having been created in the likeness of God? I think the author of the short article quoted (and linked) in the OP provided it: the Bible doesn’t say that they were. (Why it doesn’t is worth thinking about.) I’m open to hearing other arguments...

    Were Angels Made in the Image of God?

    The image and likeness of God - human beings - have the capacity, and are instructed in scripture to exhibit, to live, certain characteristics of God. Do the angels exhibit any of the characteristics of God? If they do, would that not be another way that they were created in the image of God?

    Were Angels Made in the Image of God?

    Interesting. I see Jesus - to greater and lesser degrees - in all people. I was wondering if the same could be said of seeing angels.

    Were Angels Made in the Image of God?

    We probably all have but weren’t aware of it. That you have and are aware of it is a blessing from above. Do they look like Jesus?

    Were Angels Made in the Image of God?

    Angels have the ability, the capacity, to reason. That would be one way that they are created in the image of God. Are there other ways?
