She's heard that from me (in so many words). While I agree with you, I also find it necessary to build a bridge, and therefore, I seek legitimate apologetic advance, one way or the other.
I'm sure she'll like that answer.
@PaulMaul...
Thank you sincerely for your response.

God does not have a physical form (just look at the Jewish beliefs on depicting God); therefore, if humans are made in the image of God, "made in the image" applies to the spiritual and not the physical. They are granted the potential for Heaven because their spirit is ultimately from Heaven itself whereas the non-humans are solely of the earth.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
