Depends on who your God is and what level of beingness.
Is he humanoid like us and provided DNA?
Then yes, we were created to be like him as much as possible.

Re: I've always wanted to ask if do you think we are created in the image of God or if God has a form?
I agree it’s a great question!

My first inclination is to think not. Probably due to my Buddhist training. They don’t even talk about God in Buddhism. There is The Great Void, and there is The Great Illusion. I tend to think of God as the former. As nothingness. Without form. Formless. Therefore, nothing could be used to represent that.

But I was raised a Christian! So ... in that way of thinking, YES. Jesus was/is/ever shall be the Son of God, and was created in His image, and therefore, so are we! But I think of it in terms more of spiritual vibration, or energy signature. Godly, upright, right-living people, who do things as they are done in The Kingdom (God’s Way) are indeed, created in His image!

And yes, high vibing people can HOLD a LOT of different kinds of spiritual beliefs!! I am not a slave to any one religion.

“TAKE WHAT RESONATES AND LEAVE THE REST”

I live my life in the Upright and do not worry at night, other than worrying about the demons and zombies currently at large... Bedtime prayers!!

Humans created God in the image of humans, only much more powerful and all-knowing. God had to be scary.

God made man and woman with the help of team "us" on day 6

God senced conflict during that creation

So after He rested on day 7

He made Adam on day 8

Then God created Eve on day 9

Re: I've always wanted to ask if do you think we are created in the image of God or if God has a form?
Man is made in the image of God. The word image is selem, which also means likeness. This means we are made God-like.

So what does that mean? Well, it is taught that God is a Tri-une God. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. So it must mean that man is a tri-une being. But are we?

Well yes we are. Firstly we are physical beings. Secondly we are emotional beings and thirdly we are intelligent beings. Our 3 parts function independent of each other but are of one 'body's. They are what defines us each as unique beings.

So is God, physical, emotional and intellectual?

The bible says that God the father, is love.
It states that Jesus is the embodiment of God
And Jesus taught that a helper would come in his place to teach all things. And I deed the Holy Spirit is the teacher who opens the eyes of the blind.


It should be of no surprise then that the forbidden fruit was from the tree of knowledge, for when mankind ate the fruit of knowledge he changed from an emotionally (love) based being to an intellectual one, always doubtful and questioning.

Indeed we are made in the likenes of God. But sadly, we are broken.

Now ask yourselves this, of the 3 selves, which is the only one which we pass on generation to generation? And which of the 3 aspects of God has stayed with us?

Good question.

Although I would ask God Himself... and ask God to show Himself to you. Tell God that you want to get to know Him... not just from your head, but from your heart.

Just ask the Most High God. No cheap substitute would do.

Ask out loud.

Good luck.

We are Source. Like infinite fractals containing the whole, we are all infinite parts of infinity. Created ie springing forth as an individual expression of, but still Source. So indeed we are created in the image of God and every nano fractional change created another sibling. So forth and so on. While the Foundation from which we all sprang forth and are, is still Parent.

 Quoting: rewind


You have to read the books the Roman Catholic Church ordered destroyed to see the whole picture.

It tells the story which has been edited in the Bible.

Genesis in the Bible has half been removed, the first half.

This is why things don't make sense and it was done deliberately.

First comes God, self created out of nothing God is a Mind In Balance and nothing material exist.

Just a mind in the Nothingness...but in balance, both Good and Evil.

God makes Reality. The first things he makes we would describe as Living Concepts. They are the pallet which he uses to paint the first parts of reality.

It is pointed out he makes these things "outside of himself" showing great wisdom in doing so. This makes them semi-independent of himself.

His favorite creation is one called Sophia, the livimng Wisdom. Wisdom is gained through experience and things going wrong. When you have enough you know something will go wrong or right before you do them.

Together they create the rest of the living concepts, euros the forces of attraction and Love.

This narrative is recorded several times written several ways in the Nag Hammandi Scriptures, which are part of the collection of knowledge ordered to be destroyed by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, the imposters.

What we see next is Sophia decides to create something on her own for herself.

She steals a piece of God's essence and tries to make something hidden from him.

It creates the Material Plane of existence and she cannot control it...because it also manifests it's own Mind and Being through a being known today as Lucifer, she called him Yaldabaoth.

He was the first being to refuse to obey her. She go stuck in the lower realms because she had lost her light and God caught her out.

Yaldaboath could not see the rest of reality, the light of his material plane was too blinding. The others mocked him over it, he could not see them. Samuel the blind one they called him. Sophia set them up to do that.


He goes on to create what we know here as reality.

God was pleased. Yaldaboath is the next most intelligent being to God. He had drawn the same conclusions as God from nothing more than mathematics...but he was inexperienced and did not have the knowledge God did.

He made this reality.
Not God. That is why the Roman Catholic had to edit the truth.

They tricked people into thinking the God they worshiped was the God Jesus spoke of..when that was not true at all...continued...

Re: I've always wanted to ask if do you think we are created in the image of God or if God has a form?
Always wanted to ask this, as I was raised without organized religion and only know a few passages of the Bible.

But was the saying "Let US make them in OUR image?" (indicating our creators are ETs <like the Annunaki> and that there was a group of them, with the possessive pronouns usage).

Or is it literally God saying (and to whom was he talking to, if anyone? Who heard this statement and reported it's occurrence) "Let ME make them in MY image". Even referring to God as "He" it indicates God is of a male essence. Many pray to a "Mother Father God" or just call it source.

But that first question about the making in image of, was my inquiry, lol, not all of that other stuff.

Could never figure that out.

Re: I've always wanted to ask if do you think we are created in the image of God or if God has a form?
..continued...

He makes 12 shells of reality an creates living beings to manage each factor of reality.

Angels, Cherubim etc. He made them, not God and the Roman Catholics claimed.

When he was finished Sophia set about destroying his creation. She knew what he did not and set him up through his own ignorance.

When his creations asked about their existence and who he was he claimed to be God. He did not know God or hies existence.

He was showing off to his creations. Sophia appeared and mocked him in front of his creations to lower him in their eyes.

She said there is a God other than you. He said oif tyhere is let them show themselves...

...and God appeared before them in the form of a human being. (in some of the versions it is implied God is female because they made man to trap/attract God so they could gain power over him)

It was the Fall of Lucifer. He was shamed and having never experienced those emotions before he through a fit.

He claimed he would prove he was a better God than God.

He and his creatures had already made The Earth. Filled it with creatures and life.

They decided to make a Human of their own, even though God had told them at the revealing of himself/herself Human beings would be the downfall of them.

This is who "God" (really Yaldaboath in Genesis) was talking to when he said let us make man in our image.

It took them an age. First the psychical body had to be made then the physical to house it.

When they made man he did not live.

The two versions of them story then fork. One says God snuck down and put his Spirit into humans to make them live, the other says Yaldabath was tricked by Sophia yet again into putting his Spirit into man to make him live.

Either way man lived, and he did not have to obey the Rulers. He had the same power of creation as Yaldaboath.

None of the other beings did, only Yaldaboath.

Man was too clever for them. They did something to him described as putting him into a deep sleep known as ignorance by "separating his spirit from his Soul".

The first man knew everything that was known and able to be known. Connected to the universe itself. The removed that and man could not even stand up on his own.

Satisfied they left.

In doing this process they trapped a piece of God in each of us. They desired this affect. They wanted to gain power over God by torturing us day and night.


Ancient people all knew this story. Everyone did..until the church censored it.

Jesus was telling people to get out.

He told people what to say and do when you confront the archons after death.

God looked like a man/women.

That is why they created us to look like that.

Then it says they spent their time diverting us from the real truth of ourselves.

The answer to the question is God created form when he needed form.

This is Not God's reality. This is why Jesus preached The Kingdom of heaven and how to get their as his ministry.

That is why he did not attend Temple. When he was asked why by his followers he told them They worship the demiurge in there.

Because he said that the priests of his own people begged the roman to kill him...which the did.

I intended to quote this one,

"God would have to be a giant sack of shit if you were created in his image you stupid bitch"

What kind of a person would say that about someone he doesn't know?

He has form. His form was nailed to a Roman cross almost 2000 years ago. He was buried and raised from the dead. He sits at the right hand of His Father, and He’s coming back.

You cannot see something that's not there ie. When you see something, it is there and real to you. .


I've seen an felt what I call God and the Holy Spirit.

What I saw was a radiating omnipotent aura of all encompassing light.

Two different occasions,25 years apart.


What I felt was an all encompassing permeating warmth .


And another time before some 15 years bathed in the rose light with prayer.

The original text never says that, it comes only from translations.

The original word is be'tselem, which comes from tsel, shadow.

We are to (what we call) God as a shadow is to the light that originally cast it.
