Either you are devoid of the ability to comprehend the English language or you are just plain blind to the truth due to your hardness of heart having been ensnared by the Particular Baptist errors. Whatever the reason, you apparently cannot understand that there is a difference between God and man in this discussion. Now tell me which is it:

1. Man is equal to Christ because he has an IDENTICAL image? OR

2 Christ is nothing more than a glorified man since His image is identical to that of man's?

So, yes, the "image" when referring to the LORD Christ is different in magnitude compared to that which man was created with and still has, albeit some of it is lost and the remainder distorted and corrupt. Man was not created as a "mirror image" of the Triune God.

Your so confused..The Image of God, Jesus christ had in its highest aptitude, man was made in this image as they were made in the image of the GodMan Mediator at creation..Man lost that image at the Fall..The Fall ruined man sir..The image of God is restored at regeneration, regeneration is the beginning of the predestinated end to conformity to Jesus christ..rom 8:

29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

This is being created again in the Image and Likeness of God, what man lost at the fall, but is restored 100 fold..man without christ, has not the image of God..you can believe that lie if you want to..
