Hi Michelle, Welcome to the Forum. God has forbidden the worship of ALL images (Exodus 20.4-5). Jesus Christ as the Son is described as 'the image of the invisible God' (Col 1.15), that is, an exact representation of Him (Heb. 1.2-3), but not in His manhood. He is in God's image as the Firstborn (the one with authority over) all creation, as the One Who made all things. As the Creator He is the image of the Creator. When man was made in God's image it does not mean that man looked like God. It means that man was given spirit, as God is Spirit (John 4.25).That is why, unlike all animals, man worships. When man sinned his spirit became corrupted, which is why it is said that Seth was made in Adam's image. But God is the invisible God Whom no man has seen nor can see, dwelling in unapproachable light. There is nothing that can truly portray Him. And to seek to do so would be to demean Him |
