Lets Have a go at reading between the lines shall we?

The bible does indeed say that God created us in his image. However people have different ideas about what that means. The literal interpretation would be that God has a physical form and that this is the image in which OUR physical forms are created. Hence the butthole.

Perhaps if we could refrain from calling one another poopy head, we might examine this question because its actually quite a good one.

Drich, what do you believe this passage means? I presume you don't agree with the idea that god has a physical form or he really WOULD have a butthole, so what do you think this passage means? What is gods image in this context?
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."

Swedenborg goes even a step further by saying that the whole of heaven is organized in human form.

The passage that says we are made in Gods own image is found in Genesis 1 the Hebrew word used for "in his own image," is: צֶלֶם tselem

It refers to a likeness or similarity as between a sculpture or drawing and the model.

Whether that means we are physically alike spiritually alike both or neither, don't put all your eggs into God has or doesn't have a butthole or any other specific attribute basket.

That said I believe we share a basic shape, and emotional qualities as per various other passages.

So do you believe God has a physical form somewhere, or that it refers to a spiritual likeness.

Christ was resurrected in a physical form, and we have been promised to be resurrected in kind to live in a new heaven and a new earth.

Nitpick... Christ was resurrected into a glorified state.

Why is it so important to be resurrected with a "glorified" body after death? You all secretly want to be immortal super humans, amirite?
