As I am the teacher/facilitator for this week's lesson study, I am hoping for feedback on this week's study.

Here is the link to the lesson study material:

The Memory Text says:
 Quote:

"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18, NKJV).

The text in Sunday's study also says:
[quote]
"For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren" (Rom. 8:29, NKJV).

It then goes on to say, "In the beginning, God made us in His image (Gen. 1:27), but that image has been corrupted by sin."

Genesis 1:27 says:
 Quote:

"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."

In what way were we made "in His own image" in Genesis 1:27?


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

Here's the other side of the coin:

 Quote:
But by disobedience this was forfeited. Through sin the divine likeness was marred, and well-nigh obliterated. Man's physical powers were weakened, his mental capacity was lessened, his spiritual vision dimmed. He had become subject to death. {Ed 15.2}


 Quote:
But the Fall and its effects have perverted these gifts. Sin has marred and well-nigh obliterated the image of God in man. {PP 595.2}

So Adam and eve were both created in the image of God physically, mentally, and spiritually?

I think I can understand mentally and spiritually, but what does it mean to have been created in the image of God physically?

My guess is that the human form is approximately what He looks like. Or maybe the similarity is not in visual characteristics. But I think it's safe to say that the Pastafarians are way off base.

You mean our human form before the Fall?

Also, that being the case, we do have an idea of what God looks like, at least in the person of Jesus Christ, both before and after the Fall.

I said I think I can understand mentally and spiritually, however, I think we need to make sure we do understand that, therefore, what does being in the image of God mentally involve?

That seems to be the case.

"I saw a throne, and on it sat the Father and the Son. I gazed on Jesus' countenance and admired His lovely person. The Father's person I could not behold, for a cloud of glorious light covered Him. I asked Jesus if His Father had a form like Himself. He said He had, but I could not behold it, for said He, 'If you should once behold the glory of His person, you would cease to exist.'" {AG 71.2}

EGW says the Father's form is similar to that of Christ, the Son.

This would make sense seeing the relationship between the Father and the Son.

What about the Holy Spirit? As the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Godhead, does the Holy Spirit also have a form?

The ability to reason, comprehend, analyze, make value judgments and decisions, acquire and retain knowledge, etc.

Well, since the nature of the Holy Spirit is a mystery, we cannot know.

I see being in the image of God mentally, and probably also spiritually, in the sense of character.

I would also classify being in the image of God spiritually in the sense of character.

Our character in relation to His character seems to be what the writer is focusing on in this lesson study, therefore, what does character consist of, or what makes up our character in relation to His character?
