An Image Does Not Make One the Being

Man, though he was made in God's image
Is not God, for the image cannot be the Origin.
An image is a replica of something or someone.
Valid Reason tells us it is not that someone
But a replica or an exact likeness of him.

A son may be the the replication of the father
But he is not the father, no matter how close the likeness.
Twins are two persons with the same image and appearance-
Look the same, may dress the same, but are not the same.
A likeness does not make one the being.

An image in the mirror is not you inside glass
But a reflection of you, looking back.
The image is a likeness that appears like you.... but is not you.
Therefore,  as God said "Let us make man in Our image
And in Our likeness,"  Logic tell us God did not make Man
Another God, but made an image or likeness of Him.

If Man, an image, would have God's Being, He is then "God."
But Is he?   Logic tells us God would then have said
"Let us make Man a God like us."

But the Truth is, God made Man, an image of Him
but not as God like Him.
Simple Logic.
