I was just thinking how the Bible says " Let US make man in OUR image and OUR likeness -" in Genesis 1:26.

Interesting.

I asked a lady who is a pastor about this, and she said God was talking to Jesus Christ.

What?

But Jesus Christ is apart of the Holy Trinity, which clearly is representative of only ONE God. Father, Son ( Jesus Christ,) and the Holy Spirit are all the same one God.

So then, why would God be telling Jesus Christ ( whom is himself,) to create mankind with him?

Jesus Christ was just God in the flesh as confirmed in John Chapter 1. Even Jesus said he and the Father were ONE.

Jesus = God

God = Jesus

God + Jesus = Us in Genesis?

That's illogical.

Even she was stumped when we talked more about it.

I truly believe that there are actually two God heads; a male and a female.

Even looking at what God created in the image and likeness - was a male and female - Adam and Eve.

There is another verse in Revelations in which it says, " Do not harm the land or sea until WE put a seal on the foreheads of God's servants."

Again with the plural form.

If everyone accepts Adam is the male image of God, why do they reject Eve as representative of the female image of God?

Some people automatically assume that two Gods here is like paganism - but actually there is no other God like God - and pagan gods are just gods.

Meaning, the nature of God, there is only ONE, but that doesn't mean there is physically only one God necessarily.

Not to mention people say that God calls himself " he " only - but women are automatically assumed with men.

Like the Bible says all men sinned - but then, women are also sinners on this planet. Was it only physically men whom sinned?

Not at all, women did too, but we are automatically incorporated with men.

When people reject a female God - head, I feel kind of ashamed; like why weren't women good enough to be made in the image and likeness of God? Do we not have a soul too? Did we not have our place in Eden alongside Adam?

Where we unworthy of the same Breath of life God breathed into Adam?

A guy told me that women were pretty much just made as companions for man, and that's pretty much it.

You really think God is just lonely up there all by himself? And if so, what really was the purpose of God creating women? To give life?

Female animals give life too - are we just as good as they?

Do the men with the Breath of Life blown into his nostrils, made in the image of God get to ascend to heaven, yet the women who somehow didn't receive the Breath of Life nor were made in the image of God just get to go back to the dust of the Earth?

It makes no sense whatsoever according to the scripture that female is not an image of God. Bible actually emphasized this twice from Gen 1:26 to Gen 1:27

" In the image of God he made them - male and FEMALE."

FEMALE
FEMALE
FEMALE

Why does the Bible say the female is in the image of God if there is no female image of God?!

Very contradicting isn't it?

Another thing -

God calls himself the " Father." His people are referred to as " Children."

Father + Mother = Children.

Is that illogical? Am I just talking hot air right now? Does a Mother not fit into that equation?

There has to absolutely be two images! Two entities of God in the nature of male and female!

And no no no - no more of the " he's talking about Jesus Christ -"

THAT MAKES NOOOOOO SENSE, Biblically or even just logically looking at the situation the Bible presents here.

_

I know the Bible says stuff like, have no other god before me, or there is only one God - but look at the phrasing of those sentences;

For starters the lower case gods in the Bible always refers to pagan gods, but the uppercase God refers to true God. It never says not to have any God before me, but rather any god before me. Talking about false gods as opposed to another entity of God.

I believe there to be a female God, it is what makes the most logical sense given the case.

Not to be disagreeable nor disrespectful (I DO respect your thoughts on this), but I find find that logic to be grasping at straws.

Yes, though He created Eve from Adam. Also, He is consistently referred to as "He/Him", in a masculine context.

...the nature of God, there is only ONE, but that doesn't mean there is physically only one God necessarily.
Could you expand on this? As I see it, there is no "physical God". There was God embodied in human form as Christ (which some even debate that), but God and the "trinity" are metaphysical. If it's said that we as humans are in the world, but not of the world, then how could God be physical?

In the image of God he made them - male and FEMALE.
That sounds like a paraphrase. What translation are you quoting? King James Version states it this way: "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." The phraseology here alludes more to God creating man in His own image, specifically.

Most people who look at this seriously say the Holy Spirit is the female aspect of God.

Their case is from language though, and its nothing like what you're saying here. Siberian covers quite a few of the problems with your approach nicely.

Actually in the OT you see 'lord' and 'Lord'. Lord refers to God, lord refers to Jesus. Didn't Jesus pray? To who? Goddess? Nope. Father God. Do you ever see Jesus praying to Mother Goddess? Do you ever see any mention of God in the feminine? There is no mention in the bible of a female god. This is not a Christian teaching. Your attempts at scripture sounds more like trying to turn scripture to fit your view, than scripture supporting your view. Again, no point in the bible is there any direct reference to Mother God. Why do you think that is?

In the gospel of John it says: John 4:24 God is spirit and those that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

We are not to try to fit God into our human reasoning and give Him only human characteristics, but fit out human understanding into understanding God as spirit.

God has many characteristics that belong to God and God alone. God can show himself to us with a body, but God is spirit, without a body.

So far removed from believing the bible, shun female pastors, they will always give you perverted blasphemous doctrine (GALATIONS cpt 1 verses 6 to 9) The goal of the hireling wolf in sheeps clothing pastor is to get you to question the bible which is GODS word, the deliberate flooding of different bible versions has been done by Rome/Satan to destroy the KJV bible ( Rome hates it ) stay away from this witch, Eve should have never engaged Satan in dialogue. The bible is the truth (JOHN 17 vrse 17) this feminist devil wants you to shipwreck your faith (HOSEA 4 vrse 6) the church is falling away from the bible (2nd THESS chapter 2) please make a decision to just trust GOD and his perfect and HOLY word alone (ROMANS 3 verse 4) you cannot trust men or women (JERIM 17 verse 5 to 9) An audio ALEXANDER SCOURBY KJV BIBLE might be a good place to start if you have trouble reading the bible, also when the devil papists and anti christ worshippers attack the KJV BIBLE, they are firing darts at you, put on the shield of faith (EPH chapter 6 verse 12 to 18) the devil and false hell bound christians want to destroy your faith and remove the shield of the bible so they can attack you with false doctrines and take you to hell with them. THE LORD JESUS bless you, and keep you from these evil tares.

Jesus is the express image of God. He says if we have seen Him we have seen the Father. Jesus was here as a MAN.

Asexuality is not one of those characteristics

Ummmm. "The Shack" was just a book. Gos is NOT a southern black woman who bakes fresh bread and sews. Nor is the Holy Spirit feminine that sorta glitters and flitters around the place.

I had trouble reading The Shack because of those female representatives of God. I know there was a narrative reason for it but I worry God might have felt unhappy over it. Not that there is anything wrong with women but I feel these days people try to shove God in a feel-good PC box.

I know the Bible does Say God is like A mother so I don't deny God has both male and female attributes. Just portraying God as all female denies that He is father and King as well

That is what the poster is implying I think. That belief just stinks of new age thinking that we can make God who or what we are all comfy with. In the beginning He said," Let us make man in our image". Adam was created first...then Eve.

That's interesting what you say about the male and female heads of God, I know visually God is something no one can possibly know or imagine without seeing, and while i do not necessarily agree, in some way I feel your on the right track.

I think God, Jesus and the Holy spirit are one in the same but at the same time separate bodies, it's confusing.......:p lool but it made me think of this song from the Lion King hehe We are One

I always wonder, when someone tries to convince themselves/others that God is female, what purpose that serves for them? Like, would it change the fact that Jesus saves? What's the purpose?

Also, I don't get why women can't be content to have been created at all; why do some women have this burning need to be constantly equal with not just men, but now God?

I'm not saying women are "beneath" men, just that men and women were created very differently so each could fulfill very different roles, so why do women want not just their own roles, but men's also?

And if God WERE female (which He isn't), would that be some kind of triumph for women?

Yeah, I don't get it.

These are all very perplexing questions. Perhaps we should consult Oprah and see what she says?

Satan will try to drag people into idolatry anyway he can. Goddess type worship is one of the oldest kinds of idolatry actually, god only knows how many souls have been dragged to the pit over that nonsense.

No this has nothing to do with women being beneath anyone, it has to do with the fact that the Bible says God created two people in his image, a man and a woman.

Adam had the Breath of Life, and so did Eve; both were created equally, and God declares that both were made in the image of God.

It's not so much a triumph for women, as it is logically putting two and two together.

Adam and Eve were made the same; people admit men and women are physically equal - so why is there suddenly this discretion of the image that God was made in, as if it is impossible for there to be both a Father God and Mother God.

It just doesn't make since in respects to how God keeps saying ' us, our, we' in plural text throughout the Bible; Genesis is the first main one, but in the book of Isaiah, in Revelations, Deuteronomy, there are these instances of " us and our," before Jesus Christ even came into the picture.

And if Eve did indeed come from Adam, the Bible says that her and him were ONE flesh, meaning the SAME entity of being.

If Adam is the male image / likeness of God, and Eve is the SAME entity of Adam, then logically this means that both male and female originally came from the image of likeness of God, hence why God is stating to the other God to make man in both their ( let us,) ( our) image.

It's pretty straight forward.

The trinity is representative of only ONE God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit function more like titles than three separate Gods which would be tritheism.

Besides, only Jesus was made in the image of Jesus lol, and the Holy Spirit has never been formally declared in the Bible to have an image; some believe it to be just a mist or spirit of God.

The trinity makes no sense for this.
