|
|
God = Omniscient
Man = made in God's image
Made in God's image means that we look the same as God does. If our body is in Gods bodies image, and our brain is part of our body, then our brain would be made to be the same as gods brain. So if our brain is the same, then the capability of both would be equal, correct?
Does that mean that man has the mental ability to become omniscient?
How did God become omniscient? |

The brain has nothing to do with image.
Perhaps God doesn't exist within the rules of time and space, ask Him when you die. |

First you have to ask, "How did God become?" |

| What do you mean "No"? What does "made in Gods image" mean, then? |

Many things, depending on who you talk to.
However, if God is all-powerful, then does He really have an image? Considering, of course, that He has the power to alter his form (as He has done all throughout the Old Testament), then can we really say that God has any form of His own?
What is the image of a shape-shifter? |

| He may be a shape shifter, but it says that it's in his "own image". So he's got to have one main image that he copied humans with. |

No... Genesis 1:26 says "The God said, 'Let us make man in our image'".
God never says that man is made in His image. |

we only use 10% of brains.
it's quite possible that other 90% is omnipotence and omniscience. |

No...we use 100% of our brains. We only use 10% at a time. That means that, say, when we're daydreaming or perhaps drawing a picture, that part of our brain that would crunch numbers and do our taxes is not in use |

I don't think this necessarily means physical image.
What else would image mean? As simplistic as that sounds (I'm sure you're thinking "ha ha, what a simpleton. He only thinks image applies to physical features. Ha ha"), is there really anything else? Anything like spirit or thoughts or philosophy or morals is not an image |

What is god, schizophrenic? Besides, if he says "our", that's still including himself |

It means that we were made perfect, like God, with a free will. You have to remember that the bible has been translated so many times that it's probably not a perfect translation. |
