I think you may have a bad translation for none of the translation I
have looked at have the word flat in them. See other versions at
biblegateway.com and http://bible.cc/genesis/1-26.htm
and the original Hebrew http://biblos.com/genesis/1-26.htm
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
let them have dominion over the ce: We are all created in God's image.
The meaning in the Holy Bible can not be number 1.
So in light of your explination here that you posted, an image is not always the object seen but a representation of something else.
You yourself are saying that flesh is not what we were made in the form of God because God is not flesh. Right?
So Jesus must have been an image of his Father, Jehovah in another way.
What way?
It would be obvious that Jesus did not mean in a physical way but in a spiritual way. Right?
He never once said he was GOD ever. So his statement had to mean he fully supported his Fathers plans, objectives, wanted the same results and completely honored his Father in every way and as the WORD would speak to all as if it were Jehovah himself speaking to them.
This in no way indicates at all the Jesus is himself God.
I know you'll not see this as you refuse to learn as usual but here it is.

Well that's a new twist on the ole trinity issue. But you've said something before like he is a Man/God or still a man in heaven? This is getting better and better.
He had with God in the beginning, but He did not seize to be Deity. Upon
His resurrection and return to heaven He regained His glory and also was
given all authority plus He retained His glorified Body, which needs no blood.
So that is why He is referred to as both God and Man and He said upon His
return every eye will see Him because He will still have His body.

Originally posted by RJHindsLol. So if he's still a man and somehow living in space without air or food or water but yet he's now God then why wasn't he a God while he was a man on earth?
Didn't I just make it clear that He was both man and God. Of course,
He is still a man, but much more then that, He is still God.
Originally posted by wolfgang59The Christian doctrine declares that their is ONE God in THREE Persons.
There are TWO gods then (according to you); Jesus and the big guy upstairs?
The three persons are the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is
a mystery about God that has not yet been fully revealed. The JW's
deny the Christian doctrine of the Triune Godhead in favor of One true
God, the Father and a lesser god. This lesser god they claim was once
an angel that became a man, Jesus. Jesus, after the resurrection was
raise to the level of a god.
