John 4:24
[23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
[24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
We see the Word Father, and then God is a Spirit. Still not to clear except we are talking of spiritual worship for the Father + us.
In Gen. 1 we find this.. Surely we see two of US with an Image that Adam + Eve were created as stated, ‘AFTER OUR IMAGE’.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
So far it does not take any of the Jer. 17:5 of history to find that Inspiration has said that God Is a Spirit, or as found elsewhere as Holy Ghost.
And the us is also found said elsewhere. But for there to be an ‘US’ with an Image, we know that it requires at least two with an image. So we will look at angels first to find both good & bad angels. And then the documentation of angels being created + are ministering spirits.
Heb. 1
[7] And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. (and also Eze. 28 finds Lucifer a created angel being)
Lets post these verses of 1 Kings 22 also for one to see both the bad with the good SPIRITS! (have you got that ‘spirit’ word seen?)
[19] And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
[20] And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
[21] And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
[22] And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of [all his prophets]. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
[23] Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee. (compare Rev. 17:1-5 for the Lord’s permitting of this)
But the point is, is that angels were not the ones of Gen. talking with each other! In other Words, only God was on the scene before Adam was created in Their Image. And He was talking with an EQUAL! And to cary this a step further without any creed or any from Jer. 17:5’s false ones, lets see who ONLY HAS AGAPE [IMMORTALITY]? 1 Tim. has it Inspired this way...
[17] Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. + 1 Tim. 6...
[15] Which in his times he shall shew, ;who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords
[16] Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
OK: Immortal. With three such ones. Two with an Image & one completely ‘spiritual’.
Lets find another good OT verse where we can be sure that God has this Image that we still favor, at least some/what. In Exod. 33 we find this Inspired documentation...
[13] Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
[14] And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
[15] And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
[16] For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
[17] And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
[18] And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
[19] And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
[20] And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. (but God does indeed have a FACE that we were created similar to, HE says!)
[21] And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
[22] And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
[23] And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
If one BELIEVES God?? we find His Image some what at least as we were originally created in. But NO, most will believe as Gen. 3:4 says, from the evil ‘s’pirit of satan’s mouth.
