"we are made in his image"

What exactly does that mean?

CP,

I have my own ideas on this which I am unwilling to share on a public Board. But you might like to read what Aquinas wrote about it. He talks about will, intellect, and reason, as attributes of the 'image' we have from our Creator.

DS,

Yes, that's what I was getting at. I aspire to emulate him. To me it's quite clear in the N.T. scriptures that we are to be more like him.

Fesarius, I agree with this as well. I do not think Jesus asked us to worship him but to follow him. I think we can purify ourselves to the point that miracles will be done through us as well. I also think we can follow Jesus to Heaven. These are, of course, my personal beliefs.

As others have said I wouldnt mind having the powers of a Q. Being God would simply be too big a job therefore I wouldnt want to be Jesus Christ. Like Fes though I would want to be like him.

Perhaps the poll should have asked about being like ______ since we are not that other character. How do you know what being like Jesus Christ is like and that it would be too big a job? It may be more work being you. B}

I think the movie Bruce Almighty kind of fit my impression what a day in the life of an omnipotent individual would be like. An amusing movie.
