What a telling excuse in any case. Here comes Jesus, jesus says to us "Hey yall, all that shit I did and told you to extoll and emulate, all those things I commanded before....you don't have to do any of that anymore."
The mind wonders why, often we hear "because we are incapable of following the law, we all fall short"...but clearly we're capable of genocide, and slavery, of sheathing our swords in blood... of carrying out whatever violence we might imagine a god has commanded us to carry out.....of extolling the righteousness of any of it (look at our own boards). If we fall short, it isn't on any of those "laws", we're ready, willing, and able to carry out those commands. If this is what is meant by being "created in his image" I'd be compelled to entertain the notion at the very least.
But, as with everything about this god, there's a far simpler, well-evidenced explanation for the entirety of it.
