Bible Explained: Genesis 1:27: So God Created Man in His Own Image, in the Image of God He Created Him
OK so here I’ll explain what the Bible means when it says that:
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him.”
(Genesis 1:27)
Long story short, it means that, just as God is omnipresent, so is man. Just as God is omniscient, so is man. Just as God is omnipotent, so is man. You my dear fellow reader are all that omni-stuff. You are God.
Now to elaborate a little. Like everything in the Bible, this makes perfect sense. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Yet why is it that some people don’t hear? They have their ears, after all. Well, it’s because they are afraid. Afraid of all that power. Afraid that if they admit they can do anything they wish, they will have no more excuses for not doing it. They will have no more excuses for being unhappy. Some people are afraid to be happy.
