Actually it starts with a most common misconception of Trinity."Let us create man according to our image", God said.
This "image" is for you to find out. 🙂
The only thing scripture says is "Let make them in our image"...then
says he created them male and female....
Your talking about angel images....the bible doesn't exactly say what those images were....your talking your denomination, reading things into scripture.
"Let us create man according to our image".
"In the image of God he created Him."
Who was there when God was creating the man?
Who are these "us" and "our" He was refering to then? 😇
"Male and female He created them."
It didn't say that God's image is male and female. Yes, God is neither a male nor female ... or both male and female. But it is not what the Bible is refering to the "image" of God.

The Bible doesn't say what "The Image" was...It only says our image....That could be interpreted many ways....
It could be the image of being little creators....
Well one thing that I have heard that might help people out is the analogy of the egg. You see the Egg has its three necessary parts to be the Egg. It has the Shell the White and the Yoke. The egg cannot just have the Shell otherwise it would just be called a shell. As well as it cannot just have the white otherwise it would be known as well... a white thing.... and it also can not just have a Yoke. It also can not just work with 2 of the 3 parts! They all work together to make the egg. This analogy helped me understand how God can be 3-in-1. God has too be made of those three parts (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in order to be who he is really. I hope this helps some people.
God bless,
