What does "ancient language" have to so with anything? Seriously, stay on topic.

It has EVERYTHING to do with what was actually meant. It is the translation of those languages that changed the meanings of it. Learn the ancient language and you'll understand what was actually being conveyed.

In this circumstance I believe the question has already been answered, but there are many others.
This being "off topic," also says that "god changes not" If that is so, then why is it wrong to have many wives and concubines. David was the apple of gods eye and he had hundreds.
But that is for another time.
Look up certain words in your concordance and you'll see the true meanings of what is meant. Also look at Jewish writings, since they were the ones that would certainly understand the meanings.
They wrote the Bible, so to say, except for Luke.

Very well then, if you do not believe in souls then there still is the fact that humans were made in the IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD. That also explains why God views humans as special, for they are to closet creations to Him.
Where do you get the idea that humans were made in the image of some god? I bet it was a human that said something like that.

By the very nature of the question asked in the first place, we are assuming that God exists, and that he created all creatures. Because of this, we can further derive that this is referring to Genesis, where it explicitly states that Adam was made in the image and likeness of God. So your point is completely off-topic and senseless.

And who wrote the bible?
My point is not off topic, but it is not yet reviled.
Animals never had a say on this topic. It has always been us. We make the rules, and we always have. We made it up, and excluded animals, as if we were not one. This is because we have gained something that makes us more like a god then other animals. We can manipulate the world around us.

That doesn't necessarily mean a physical image. It could mean image as a concept It could mean almost anything including just symbolic.

Y'know, that could probably be a thread unto itself, but I'll ask it here to the group at large (I don't think it's too off-topic)...
What is meant, exactly, by man being made in God's image? Anyone interpret that literally? What are the "image qualities" being referred to?
