Speratus,

If mankind AFTER the fall is in the image of Satan then to redeem mankind, Christ would have to be in the image of Satan (John 1:14; Rom 1:3; 5:12-21; Phil 2:5-8; Heb 2:14-17) [Linked Image] Now do you see just a small problem(s)? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/drop.gif" alt="" /> Humans are not made in the image of angels--fallen or otherwise! Moreover, there is no redemption for angels! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/nope.gif" alt="" />

Before the Fall, man did bear the image of God. He still differs from animals (whose killing is not murder) in that his substance is capable of bearing the image of God. However, the image of God was never the essence of man.
So now Jesus' essence (the second man Adam) was never in the image of God?
