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. Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~03.04.16 image- (noun) form; appearance; semblance: likeness "We are all created in God's image." (Dictionary.com)
