Re: Bird man!
Eh.....I'd like to propose that emotion is what makes us God's image, you could argue that some animals have emotion, but the emotions that make us human (I.E.) Guilt, Love, Hate, Care, etc. God does indeed have emotions, the main one being Love, the Bible says "God IS Love". The......Manifestation of the Love emotion probably feels love. The only reason we were created was to to Love god, and for God to Love us, so i think EMOTION is what makes us God's image, if you feel...otherwise....post after me.

Why Are We so Simple-Minded?
I Know it's Easy to Deny the Truth.............Search Your Heart for What You Believe to be True. Then, Considering Your Morals, Decide if this, in Your Heart of Hearts, is What you Truly Believe.

IamJoseph Says:
The bible does not say Gd is love; the NT says that. The OT lists 13 attributes, given by God, and this cannot be limited by one attribute. Its proof is that those who posit only the abstract and generic term of love, have displayed its reverse.
I never said God was limited by one attribute. I said that as an example of emotion being reflected in God as well as man.
This is why love per se cannot fix humanity's problems, and the reason 613 laws were poured unto humanity at Sinai
Never did i say that love alone could fix humanity's problems, although i could make an argument that it could, that is off topic. I only used love as a representation of an emotion that God feels that we also feel. Thats it.
Abram was the son of an image producer for the king of Ur. IOW, a good image worshipper is better than a bad non-image worshipper. We are judged by what we do - not what we believe.
I dont see how this is significant to the discussion. Are you saying that our actions is what makes us "the image of God"?

Truth is still Truth, Weather One or a Thousand People believe it.
