Again it all goes back to a book written by humans. Why should I believe the bible?

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 [b]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... 🙂 [/B]

That would mean that God is not perfect as scriptures say he is.

In Job2;3 God says that Satan moved him to destroy without cause showing himself to be an evil sinner.

Not too surprising as he is the father of lies and creator of evil.

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

Spiritually or perhaps physically.

Well, God has a satanic spirit and our bodies are what they are thanks to our environment. God never lived in this environment so I do not know how he could have bodies like ours.

Further, you have sexual organs. What would a non-reproducing God by doing with what, both male and female sexual organs.

I guess it depend on how much woo you want to swallow.

If ours can then so can his. And as you can see by how God id rightfully described, he strays quite often. Right?

do you know the story of Job? if so, your post is inappropriate...

If God is a psychopath, then yes.

I know the story and my post is the truth even if you do not like the truth.

For a God to do or allow evil on a bet is quite immoral. Live with your immoral God if you like. Moral men will reject such a vile God.

if there is a god i would say we're created in its image in the fact that basically the rules it set up dictated the path that our evolution ultimately took and the strategies and personalities we have adopted as a result.

God would work as men and women alike.

The setup is entirely anthropocentric.

Great men have suffered for trying to end suffering.

But wouldn't that be true with every other animal?

I think the point of being made in the image of a god was to raise humans above other animals.

Of course it's human arrogance to place ourselves above other animals.

yea, i would say it's true of nature in general. i'm not saying that's what the bible was trying to say.
