As you wish..... here are your very words which show that you reject any notion that the image of God in man includes anything corporeal, which view results in relegating "man" to the animal world until he is allegedly regenerated. Talk about holding to Greek philosophy.... get a life!

You still have failed to produce a quote that i made about relating the image of God to morals, nothing is further from the truth..man is darkness before regeneration, dead darkness..and somehow you want to elevate this miserable condition to the Image and Likeness of God..

And to intimate the terrible loss of Gods image man had in his pristine glory, God oft times compare him to beast, animals..

2 pet 2:

12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

surely these have not the image and likeness of God..

10But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

surely these are not in the Image and Likeness of God..

ecc 3:

18I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Friend, outside of the renewing of the Holy Ghost, man has no Image and likeness of God..its a dishonor to God for you to maintain a view like this..
