God's Image

The wise I asked: “Is it possible that whenever Man declares, God’s image to be, sacrilegious he becomes?"* “Not if Man, to his spirituality refers!”** Sharply, he replied! © Demetrios Trifiatis 16 December 2015 * “Men create the gods in their own image” Xenophanes, Greek philosopher, 570-475 BC ** John, Epist. first, 5: 12 “No man hath seen God at any time.”

This is not known to me my friend, BLD, but I am so happy for writing something the Lord Krishna has said, probably I am on the right path, since, as you know, I have studied philosophy ( Ph.D ). Thank you for your visit and your delightful comment!

I like the conversation that has ensued as a result of this piece. As for me I will wait for the day that I am blessed to look into my Savior's eyes.

So do I, my dear friend, Richard, so do I! Certain I am, He will not disappoint anyone who believes in HIM for HE can take any form He wishes! Thank you!

I ponder upon your musing words, Demi. I have never considered myself as being His image, but rather as being a shadow of His image! ~ paul

My dear Paul, the only thing we know(those who believe in His existence) about God is that he exists! People since ancient times perceive God as having a human appearance idea that Xenophanes doesn't accept and rightly so, therefore, if we have God's image in anyway then it must be spiritual only! You say, out of justified humility, you are the shadow of His image. Myself believe that I am a dim reflection of his reflection upon my soul. Thank you for your visit and pertinent comment!
