A superficial god

I seems to me, that when men hear we are made in the image of God they assume God is like them. But how can that be true? Image, when use with reference to a person often refers to either a reflection, photograph or hologram. These images do not interact, They lack depth and are very superficial. The image gives you just an appearance at a certain time and nothing more. Extending this thought we were given qualities at creation that are like God's, write very small, and very two dimensional and superficial (for lack of a better word) when compared to our creator and when we try to fit God in our image we have created an idol, a false god.

Yes we are made in the image of God, but He is not in our image. We are designed to learn and grow and we can strive to become more like Him, but we can never achieve His loftiness of being for we are only an image.
