1st for Robert's 2/16 post. It is called the King James Version because King James was the king of Great Britain, France and Ireland and ordered the translation.
For others: Genesis 1:26 says And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...
Man was made, formed and created. Three distinctions. John 4:24 says God is a Spirit.
So, God's image and likeness is spirit. There is no physical body of God. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, a man.
The Word of God is mathematically exact and scientifically precise. There is an answer for every single question about anything that could ever come up in one's mind but to find the answers take study. A single person's lifetime could not possibly uncover all of the eternal truths in God's Word. Figures of speech are God's marking as to what is important in The Word. The Word of God is to be accepted literally whenever and wherever possible. When a word or words fail to be true to fact, they are figures of speech, and as such have a godly-designed emphasis which must be known, grasped and understood to "rightly divide" the Word of God. There are 212 figures of speech used in The Word. And, there are up to 40 varieties under ONE figure.
So, I doesn't matter what one person "thinks" or what another person "thinks" to be the truth. What does The Word say? II Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
