Don't hide behind them, Stephen, they never claimed to see progressive
creation of the image of God. Paul merely thought I was saying that the
term "image of God" appeared nowhere else in the Bible. He never showed
me progressive creation of the image of God. And as far as I can tell
Paul does not agree with your thesis. Tell me why those verses, which I
examined in detail, show progressive creation of the image.
