Okay fr0d0 here is my "unorthodox" interpretation of the passage in question as taught to me by those stupid fundamentalists. when god states "let us create man in our image" he is referring to his truine self, namely the father, son, and holy spirit. I noticed that alot of people that have posted here have used the words spirit and soul interchangeably as if they were one and the same thing but I was taught that as god is of a truine nature so are we. In pentecostalism we say that man is made up of a physical body, a soul "eternal part of a living being, commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; distinct from the physical part, and spirit "spirit, like soul, forms a natural part of a being: such people may identify spirit with mind, or with consciousness, or with the brain". Those qoutations are taken from wikipedia but they pretty much describe what I am trying to say. fr0d0 this part is for you and it is from Catholic reference.net I thought I would define the word trinity and when I looked it up I was shocked to see that it was defined the same way I have stated at one time to be my previous beliefs as god being three distinct persons only being one in plan and purpose.
TRINITY, THE HOLY
A term used since A.D. 200 to denote the central doctrine of the Christian religion. God, who is one and unique in his infinite substance or nature, is three really distinct persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The one and only God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Yet God the Father is not God the Son, by generates the Son eternally, as the Son is eternally begotten. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son, but a distinct person having the divine nature from the Father and the Son by eternal procession. The three divine persons are co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial and deserve co-equal glory and adoration.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
