Bible Verse: Genesis 1 verse 27

24	     Genesis i. 27.  So God created man in His own image,
  	in the image of God created He him; male and female
  	created He them. 

27	    To emphasize this momentous thought, it is repeated
  	that God made man in His own image, to reflect the
  	divine Spirit. It follows that man is a generic	                                     Ideal man
30	term. Masculine, feminine, and neuter gen-	                                     and woman 
  	ders are human concepts. In one of the ancient lan-
 1	guages the word for man is used also as the synonym of
  	mind. This definition has been weakened by anthropo-
 3	morphism, or a humanization of Deity. The word an-
  	thropomorphic, in such a phrase as "an anthropomorphic
  	God," is derived from two Greek words, signifying man
 6	and form, and may be defined as a mortally mental at-
  	tempt to reduce Deity to corporeality. The life-giving
  	quality of Mind is Spirit, not matter. The ideal man
 9	corresponds to creation, to intelligence, and to Truth. 
  	The ideal woman corresponds to Life and to Love. In
  	divine Science, we have not as much authority for con-
12	sidering God masculine, as we have for considering
  	Him feminine, for Love imparts the clearest idea of
  	Deity.
