Re: [asa] The image of God- question for Lamoureux

Does it matter? It's absolutely critical.

The ancient science described the moon as "a light (created by God)" and we know that description is wrong - and if the description is wrong, then the thing can't exist.

No such thing as "the firmament," no such thing as "the image of God," no such thing as "a great light to rule the night".

Blessings,
Murray

The only mention of "made in the image of God" is also from the same passage! No firmament, no literal man named Adam... why not also no literal 'image of God' given at one point. Wouldn't that be consistent? It is all Gen. chapter 1! Shouldn't the same hermeneutic be used on the whole chapter?
