God has made Mankind "In His Image"

This article provides scripture references that prove humanity has the same physical attributes as God.

God made man in his image — But from the beginning of the creation **God made them** **male** **and** **female**. (**Mark 10:6**)

The Bible references below demonstrate that God (both in the form of Jesus Christ, God the Father and the Holy Spirit) have the same bodily features as men and women do.

The only significant difference between God and mankind is that God (the Father and the Holy Spirit) have godly (or spiritual) immortal bodies, whereas humanity has bodies of flesh, blood and bones that are mortal—meaning, we eventually die.

I encourage you to click on the links below to see for yourself that we have each been created in God’s image.

Summary

Isn’t it easier to believe what the Bible says about God, rather than to falsely imagine who God may, or may not be, as depicted in the illustration below?

If God had said that He did not have physical parts, soul passions, and spirit faculties as revealed here, then the subject would be closed. But when He repeatedly reveals in scripture that He has body parts and soul and spirit faculties as we have, then we should believe what He says about Himself.

If we refuse to do so, we are guilty of unbelief:

“…for WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN”. (Romans 14:23)
