solid analysis;3560197 said:1. We are told God is a spirit.
2. A spirit isn't tangible.
3. We are told we are created in God's image.
4. IE. we are all spiritual beings.
5. If the Spirit was something tangible then it makes sense to ask what it 'looks like'. But that's just the thing, the spirit (God's) has no image comparable to any physical thing.
6. The closest thing we can relate to spirit is wind which is also one of the meaning of the original hebrew and greek words for 'spirit' (naphesh, pneuma [Judah might have to correct me here])
So how you gonna sit up here and ask someone what 'wind' look like?
It states that they were going to create man, "in OUR IMAGE, and OUR LIKENESS"..
Both image and likeness are different. Image is the physical aspect of something, whereas the likeness could mean physical, mental or 'spiritual'. So why does it say, 'image AND likeness'. You're probably right thought about a spirit not having really a form or physical appearance to it, which is why we couldn't be "molded after our creator". This brings up the whole theory that we were created, or rather, altered to be modern human-mankind by alien beings.
