MAN
Created Gen 1:26 Then God
said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them
rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock,
over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created them. NIV See

Paul contradicts
God1 Cor 11:7 A man
ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but
the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman
from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
NIV
Acts 17:29 "Therefore
since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine
being is like gold or silver or stone-an image made by man's design and
skill. NIV
Gen 5:3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness,
in his own image; and he named him Seth. NIV
Gen 2:23 "This is it!" Adam exclaimed. "She is part
of my own bone and flesh! Her name is 'woman' because she was taken out of
a man." 24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined
to his wife in such a way that the two become one person. TLB
Gen 9:5 And murder is forbidden. Man-killing animals must die, and any man
who murders shall be killed; for to kill a man is to kill one made like God.

Ps 8:3 When I look up into the night skies and see
the work of your fingers-the moon and the stars you have made- 4 I cannot
understand how you can bother with mere puny man, to pay any attention to
him!
5 And yet you have made him only a little lower
than the angels and placed a crown of glory and honor upon his head.
6 You have put him in charge of everything you made; everything is put under
his authority: 7 all sheep and oxen, and wild animals too, 8 the birds and
fish, and all the life in the sea. 9 O Jehovah, our Lord, the majesty and
glory of your name fills the earth. TLB

Make
ImagesLev 26:1
"'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves,
and do not place a carved stone in your land to bow down before it. I am
the LORD your God. NIV
Deut 4:16 so that you do not become corrupt and make
for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man
or a woman, 17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the
air, 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the
waters below. NIV
Ps 106:19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
20 They exchanged their Glory (as God's image) for an image of a bull,
which eats grass. NIV
Isa 40:18 To whom, then, will you compare God? What
image will you compare him to? NIV
Hab 2:18 "Of what value is an idol, since a man has
carved it? Or an image that teaches lies? (what it symbolizes) For he who
makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.
NIV (See also "Images")
CursesGen 3:14 So the Lord
God said to the serpent, "This is your punishment: You are singled out from
among all the domestic and wild animals of the whole earth-to be cursed.
You shall grovel in the dust as long as you live, crawling along on your
belly. 15 From now on you and the woman will be enemies, as will your offspring
and hers. You will strike his heel, but he will crush your head."
16 Then God said to the woman, "You shall bear children in intense pain and
suffering; yet even so, you shall welcome your husband's affections, and
he shall be your master."
17 And to Adam, God said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate the
fruit when I told you not to, I have placed a curse upon the soil. All your
life you will struggle to extract a living from it. 18 It will grow thorns
and thistles for you, and you shall eat its grasses. 19 All your life you
will sweat to master it, until your dying day. Then you will return to the
ground from which you came. For you were made from the ground, and to the
ground you will return." TLB
Isa 59:1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short
to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. 2 But your iniquities have separated
you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will
not hear. ... 9 So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach
us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in
deep shadows. NIV

Deceived/delusionsGen 3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was
