One day -EVERYONE- will know how simply, magnificently, beAtiful they are, and that one's capabilities are immeasurable.

That, being they are THE IMAGE AND LIKENESS of immeasurable intelligence, immeasurable STRENGTH, immeasurable potential, man shall experience what is FACTUAL, Heaven is EVERYWHERE, and that which IS real, not that which man has invented for the past 6,000 yrs., no, let me restate that, as we have DONE THIS ALL BEFORE and failed last time, and 4 other experiences of what appears to be Life, HOWEVER

You would not say nor believe that if you ever glimpsed at my naked body.
Try and guess why I don't like mirrors in the bathroom.

Ahhh, so I am already there.

This heaven isn't as great as it has been portrayed.

Yeah, its not a location,a destination. Its a state of mind, hence the saying" heaven is within"
(not that I subscribe to the christian notion of heaven)

In my Father's HOUSE (EVERYWHERE) there are MANY MANY MANY mansions (realms, galaxies, universes, stages), and earth is what mankind find's to be material, however, that is the illusion, the dream.

Still dont get that one, you christians.

What image? And then you go on about the spirit(which is not phemenological as far as I'm aware)

So whose image? An overwieght, ageing,Jewish,negro woman with down syndrome?

reason, self consciousness, the ability and desire to create, etc

not physical appearance. maybe it was a mistranslation of the original text. maybe the authors lacked the language to describe what god was conveying. (assuming of course that god influenced this thought).

it is logical that, should the verse be true, that we are indeed made in god's image, image is understood as not physical resemblance but spiritual, intelectual resemblance.

Yes, dear fellow traveller, but when most christians hear " We are created in Gods image? " Do you think they're thinking physical or intellectual/spiritual?

i mean the word is "image", like the one in the mirror. Yes maybe the authors couldn't translate properly. I prefer "essence".
