Image of God? This has been debated at length for quite some time. We should note that it is not express image like Jesus.
Heb 1:3
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
(KJV)
It doesnt mean in physical form because God is Spirit. It doesnt mean with all his attributes because that would be express image and Jesus alone posses that. It must mean with a spirit and moral conscience.
Eccl 7:29
29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright;
(KJV)
God had made animal, then made a distinction of making man in our image. Along with a spirit and moral conscience he gave us reasoning capabilities and all this was good.
Gen 1:31
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
(KJV)
