Are you created in God's image?
Are you created in God's image?
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
¯ Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, his work is perfect
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Scriptures tell us to be like God and emulate all he does as we are to follow in his footsteps.
If you are a Christian, are you capable of following your God?
Would you be able and willing to do some of the things the bible shows God doing?
Are you created in God’s image?

you got wrong interpretation of the word, "perfect"...
Job was perfect -
"There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil ."
Job 1:1
and Job is righteous, fears God and turns away from evil... so is Noah -
"These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, and perfect in his generations : Noah walked with God."
Genesis 6:9
so when Jesus says we should be like the Father who is perfect, according to context, just four verses above:
"But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
That you may be sons of your Father in heaven ; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
Matthew 5:44-45
being perfect is being good, righteous and holy...

I believe that "God created man in his image" can be interpreted in different ways.
Spiritually or perhaps physically.

Science also can't explain Gone With the Wind. You see, science is not trying to prove or disprove anything about the bible. Science is focused on nature.

Well, Christians are also focused on money. However true that is, it has nothing to do with the topic.
