Mallichi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”


Therefore, the possibility of G.) an image of Variance is eliminated, and one can establish that God's image is permanent and unchanging because God does not change or begin or end. If God were to change his image or any other characteristic ascribed to his Holy nature, then by definition he would be a God of change and variance and/or transience which he is not as is also conveyed in Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. .” as well as James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”.


Continuing on with this line of reasoning, Genesis 1:26 states And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: ...” and Genesis 1:27 states “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;...”


Thereby, the possibility of F.) God posses no Image at all is eliminated as it has been shown that God has and does possess an image otherwise man could not be created in it as it would not exist. Also, the possibility of E.) a Symbolic, non Human image is eliminated because God made man in his image and man is and appears as a human being thereby the image in which God created him is not non Human though it will be maintained that it is non-feminine. Furthermore, the possibility of D.) an Asexual Bipedal Humanistic Image is eliminated because it is shown in Genesis 1:26 that man was made in God's image, and Man's appearance is not independent of Gender as he is endowed with identifiable male characteristics in his body as Adam was. As such it follows that God's image isn't asexual or independent of gender. It is further demonstrated that the possibility of C.) God possess a Hermaphroditic Image is eliminated, because Adam both bore God's Image and was created as a man, a male human being, and not a hermaphrodite in which if it were the case, Adam would not have been a man formed perfectly by God as the Arch prototype of masculine inheritance for all humanity.


The point has been reached that there are only 2 possibilities left concerning the Image of God. Regardless of whether one believes according to Christianity that Woman was made in God's image or not, at this point God's image can only exist either as it is in the case of A.) a Masculine Image or as it is in the case of B.) a Feminine image unless the preceding deduction concerning the Image of God that has thus been presented is false. If that is the case, then one should also be able to show it to be false.
