yeah, i saw the scriptures says that. So what is the image and likeness of God that we possess?
I try not to speculate...I just believe what the Word of God says about creating an image, a likeness of himself and calling that likeness Adam... ^_^
You obviously have a more to say on this subject...and I anticipate that you will elucidate further...please do...
Shalom!

Well i'll leave it for you to reason on. You know Adam is called a 'son of God' So Adam has been likened to a child of God. We know what children are like, they have the tendency to imitate their parents.
Can you think of any ways that mankind attempt to imitate God? Ephesians 5:1-2 Luke 6:36; 1 Pet. 1:15, 16; Matt. 5:44-45 might offer you some clues.
