According to some beliefs, man was created in God's image. I'm curious to know what you think God's image is. There is no right or wrong answer. This is all opinion and how each person "sees" God.
My opinion is, the creator has no form. IT is a force of light, love and positive energy that keeps the universe together. If one could see love as a shape, then that is what God/IT/Creator would look like. So to be made in IT's image means to be made of love that we should be sharing to all.

God is spirit. He exists outside of time and space and is infinite, which means he has no beginning and no end, He has given man immortal soul and a body to house the soul. the soul he has given us , full of love, kindness and compassion for all inhabitants of this earth is Gods likeness. in a spiritual way. Man is finite, that means he has a beginning and end, except for the soul, who is immortal.

I am with Randy on this one...The soul. That is our connection to God and his Universe ... How God sees us, made in his image...
The communication happens there, here, inside our souls.
The outside skin is so we don't fall apart. Otherwise, we might bump into each other all the time...there would be no edges....." Hi Colleen....Whoops! I think you have my arm and I have your leg....tradesies!" and "Hey! Give me back my ear!"..."Oh my goodness...I nearly walked off with your nose."

I have to throw honey pots and garlic pots to make a living...the art is my indulgence. It truly is where I am most connected to God and his Universe.
Oh for goodness sakes woman...here is your toe!
Me! Me! Me! and You! You! You!
God = You, Me, Life, Love, the air you breath, the food you eat, everything that is, everything that is knowable, all of all there is.
This is it.
I am it . You are it… and so is this. He is it. She is it. and that is that.

God created man in his own image, does n't mean GOD is an image of man but what GOD perceives man to be.

Great question for discussion and no definitive answer. My pastor spoke not long ago about the Pharisees asking Jesus about what to do with some money they'd received. Jesus asked them whose picture was on the coins and they responded "Caesar's". Jesus told them to "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to God what is God's". In other words, the image of Caesar made those coins his; the image of God in US makes us God's.
I'm not sure exactly what part of "us" is in God's image, but I tend to go along with the concept of "soul", a part of us that is not visible, but certainly DOES exist, to some degree, in everyone.

Rev chapter one vs 14to 17, His head and his hairs were white like wool , as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters And he had in his right hand seven stars ; and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him , I fell at his feet as dead . And he laid his right hand upon me , saying unto me , fear not; I am the first and the last;

I am motivated by the Comment: "Who or What created God?"
It certainly is a monumental question, one that troubles all men greatly when the thought of death slips into the minds of men. For the "What" is the creature man and the "Who" is that which resides in him. God is in His own IDEA of himself, uncreated yet most creative by His Ideas of Himself.
And in turn the glory of men is in the Who of himself which is the very Life or that Divine Energy packing this pile of dirt (worldly body) around. Life is Gods Presence, most apparent in men, it is His Idea of himself on all planes, in all deminsions, therefore in all that is or is not.
Chuckles . . . and God bless - let them hear and receive it who can. ;-) Amen.
