(...) I'm only going in on this one part here. It is my belief that man in God's image is not exactly literal, but of broader meaning Biblically. Image can mean form (arms, legs, head, torso) or function. My opinion of God is that He (not gender, (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)
