First this passage says that God created man in his image- then it goes on
to say He created both males and females.I see no contradictions to me
statements here-unless one believe there is no difference between males and females.
Bingo! There is the catch. Until you can jump this hurdle, Dean, you and JD will not see eye to eye on this issue. 1 Cor. 11:7 was an excellent point, by the way.

Good move, Dean !!! Don't deal with the arugment presented claiming
ignorace of my intent. And what faith should I have in further explanation
in view of the fact that you did not understand what I wrote in the first
place? Why is it that you cliam to understand the biblical message but
cannot understand what I have said? Amazing. Intellectually, we are not
on the same planet. You, of course, being much my superior.
See ya,

Keep on ignoring Gen 1:27 , Dean.
There is no sex with God. He is neither male or female in a sexual sort of
way. And why is the masculine used? Ever heard of "cultural demands?"
Since God is not an "it," since He is a person, we must use either
maculine or feminine. The culture of the Jew gave us the masculine
reference. The fact of the matter is bound to scripture -- namely Gen
1:27. ............... you'll recognize that reference because it is the
one you and Judy keep ignoring. There, we have a clear (to most)
revelation concerning a small aspect of "God's image." Since one cannot be
both "male and female," since Adam AND Eve both are the image of God,
"the image of God" has little to nothing to do the gender.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he
him; male and female created he them.
First this passage says that God created man in his image- then it goes on
to say He created both males and females.I see no contradictions to me
statements here-unless one believe there is no difference between males and
females. He is the mescaline. I realize you cannot understand this but maybe
others can John.The below says that man was created in the image of God
,"BUT" women was is the glory of man. Clearly a difference is shown.
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is
the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
cd: As you didn't receive this the first time-I am resending it-God has a
masculine nature.Jesus had a masculine nature and a masculine body.
Masculine
M`ASCULINE, a. [L. masculinus, from masculus, mas.]
1. Having the qualities of a man; strong; robust; as a masculine body.
2. Resembling man; coarse; opposed to delicate or soft; as masculine
features.
3. Bold; brave; as a masculine spirit or courage.
4. In grammar,the masculine gender of words is that which expresses a male,
or something analogous to it; or it is the gender appropriated to males,
though not always expressing the male sex.

cd: Here is another Bibical spirit that is a male?
1Sa 28:8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went,
and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I
pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom
I shall name unto thee.
1Sa 28:9 And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath
done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards,
out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me
to die?
1Sa 28:10 And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth,
there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
1Sa 28:11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said,
Bring me up Samuel.
1Sa 28:12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and
the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art
Saul.
1Sa 28:13 And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou?
And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
1Sa 28:14 And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man
cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was
Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
1Sa 28:15 And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me
up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war
against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither
by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest
make known unto me what I shall do.
1Sa 28:16 Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the
LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
1Sa 28:17 And the LORD hath done to him, as he spoke by me: for the LORD
hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbor, even
to David:
1Sa 28:18 Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst
his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto
thee this day.
