Imago Dei - Image of God

[Iamthatiam Profile]

Wasn't that the point of Jesus... to be both real and unreal, creator and created, actual and possible... To show us, not our opposing nature from God and to drive us to the opposite extreme in the weakness of humanity to counterbalance Him and His divinity... but to bridge the gap between what is literal and what is seen, and what is not... And to validate a middle ground?

Which Michelangelo managed to Ilustrate in a single painting, everything one must do is to take a closer look ....

Love that image so much... Is it the birth /creation of man in gods own image or are we seeing the creation of god in mans image so that man could comprehend his own existence...lol

Hey there brother..A truly meaningful painting, isn't?

You know, there is something here that goes unnoticed, incredibly enough...



They are not touching each other. God is the guy who is trying to reach Adam, not otherwise, which would be the logic, Adam, in turn, is carelessly offering his 'left' arm to God be touching, as if saying, "Come to me, if you will"..His arm is supported by his 'left' leg...If you look closer, you will see that God is the one putting efforts in trying to reach (Unite) D Kingdom and the expression as a whole! This is not a Creation, being a Reintegration though!

There is much more here, that maybe only Plato and his concepts about the Gap between the Ideal and the 'Real' worlds, would had be teasing out

Yeah IAM that is one of the things I have noticed , However I would go one step further and say that adam is offering his hand to god in an almost regal Way, kiss my hand style. But god is either using woman as an anchor in order to reach adam or the other image is that he will not let go of woman in order to reach man easily...I think it portrays man as having a sense of superiority and shows him as almost nonchalant
