Where you have gotten this erroneous idea that the image of God is to be restricted ONLY to man's moral attributes only you know. But I can tell you that it is not biblical nor is a doctrine embraced by Christendom. I tried to explain to you that the "imago dei" is multi-faceted and that if you totally remove the "image of God" from man, he ceases to be man. Part of the "image" was that man was a rational being which distinguished him from all the other creatures that God created. So, again, remove the whole image and you are left with man being nothing more than a brute beast, e.g., a cow. Think about it. Have you really done ANY reading on this subject other than your spurious source which you have avoided revealing?

Re: me not understanding the full implications of ... being born again. Now you are being really silly. Your arrogance is only exceeded by your ignorance. I can assure you that I am more than knowledgeable about regeneration, aka: born anew, born again, born from above, spiritual resurrection, made alive, etc. Perhaps you need to do some more reading on this subject? Start here: Regeneration or the New Birth, by A.W. Pink.
