TeamManager, there you go again quick to quote the bible, yet having no full understanding of what you quote means. The physical form of a male and female are no way the same or do not share the same image. In my opinion, "in his own image" is a lot deeper than the physical form, but rather the soul and the consiousness. If you first forward to the coming of Jesus, we are told that He took the form of a man. If the physical body is of the same image as God's, as you insinuate above, why then say Jesus took the form of a man?
