MADE IN HIS IMAGE INVISIBLE AND VISIBLE By Rev.James R. Claypool

The question has always been who was God talking to in Gen. 1:26/27  He was not talking to anyone. He was about himself. In gen.2:24 we read, Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,and  shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. How could this be ? They had no father or mother. When God made this statement he was looking down through time when there would be a father and mother. This is what God was referring to when he said let US. He was looking down through time when there would be an us,that is God [spirit] and Jesus [body] Heb.10:5 .......a body hast thou prepared me. God is a spirit and has no image. Jesus is that image. Col.1;15 who is the image of the invisible God ,the first born of every creature. We are made in the image of Jesus and so was Adam Rom.5:14 ......who is the figure of him that was to come. There was never a son of God at the beginning. Matt.22:23-30 The Sadducees don"t believe in the resurrection, talking about a woman husband dying and the brother taking her for a wife and after the last brother died they ask Jesus who would be the husband in the resurrection. Jesus said there is no marriage in heaven we are like the angels....So how could there be a son when there is no way to produce one.  In St.Jn.8:58  Before Abraham I AM. Jesus was always God. Jesus only became the son of God after Mary brought him into this world,before that he was fully God and after he got his glorified body he became full God again meaning the flesh that could be tempted was changed into a glorified body.   After he arose He said in Matt.28:18 .....all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.   God would never give all his power away. Lets look at ,who i the father of Jesus is? Matt.1:20 .....that which is conceived  in her is of the Holy Ghost. This makes The Holy Ghost the father of Jesus. All this means is that Gods Holy Spirit [himself] over shadowed her, making God the father.There is only one God..  Isaiah 45:18 I am the Lord and there is none else. Read Isaiah Ch. 45 and 46 if you want to know who God is. If you would stand a person up and point to him and say [like Paul says many times] THE FATHER AND GOD AND JESUS CHRIST referring to one person. In Rev.Ch. 12:9 And the [1] great dragon was cast out,that old [2] serpent,called the [3] devil,and [4] satan,which deceiveth the world:.....i counted 4 titles how come people dont make 4 devils ? let us make man in our image, As i said at the beginning God is a spirit [invisible] body [visible] so we are made just like him. We are made [invisible] soul and [visible] body. You can not see a soul it is invisible. So we are  as David said, we are wonderfully made. God made us just like himself invisible and visible. JESUS said in Ats Ch.1:11 ....why stand here gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus , which is taken up from you into heaven , shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.  Jesus is coming back with { His body }God is good. When we look at Gen.1:26-27 in this light there is no contradiction in the scripture. It all is in harmony. Rev.James R. Claypool Cebu Philippines or em sirbones1@msn.com
