......I'm not constraining G_d, he has said so himself.
......The image of G-d in which we were created is a reference to our human consciousness. The "image of G-d" is the unique combination of creative forces that are the individual parts of what we call the human soul.
Quoting: Shalhevet More constraints?
Or do you have a scripture reference to back up your theory?
Quoting: Daniel's Seventieth Seven 8803949 If you can pop up with one from the Tanach that says J'sus is god.
Quoting: Shalhevet ^That^ is not being claimed.
Jesus never claimed to be God- he made it clear that His Father was greater than Him.

Quoting: Daniel's Seventieth Seven 8803949 "In many different verses in the Tanach, God tells us very clearly that He is like nothing in the material Universe, and that nothing in the material Universe can be compared to Him.
The figurative language in the Tanach simply represents the use of language to express some idea in connection with God. The use of such anthropomorphism's is very common in Scripture. I will refer you to Psalm 19:2, Isaiah 23:4, Job 28:22, Joshua 24:27 and Isaiah 55:12 as examples
where-in heaven, the sea, death, stones and mountains, respectively, "speak." The idea conveyed is no more literal than when God "speaks," unless you are going to claim that the sea literally speaks in an audible voice.
As further proof of the figurative nature of language in the Tanach, I will refer you to Proverbs 8:26, Exodus 10:5, Isaiah 1:2, Numbers 11:31, Numbers 16:32, Isaiah 24:16, Daniel 10:4, Exodus 2:3, Exodus 15:8, Ezekiel 38:12, Jonah 2:3, Job 38:8 and Jeremiah 31:8 as examples where in the earth itself is described as having, respectively, a head, eyes, ears, a face, a mouth, a wing, a hand, lips, a heart, a navel, a belly, a womb, and a thigh. Surely these meanings cannot be taken literally either."(The Guide for the Perplexed., Part I, Chapter XLVI, Dover Press, M. Friedländer, Translator, p. 60)
Now with that said, what is left to be the image of G_d or his likeness other than the consciousness. The "image of G-d" that is the unique combination of creative forces that are the individual parts of what we call the human soul.
