After a year of lock-down and despair at ever finding a job again I have been laid low. Lifetime of hearing "God has a plan for you" yada yada.

All right. Supposing it's true. Let's try it. Pray.

Seven minutes later a note is passed through my door offering me work in a vital business that could - if I do it right - change the world.

The business I am now involved in has the potential to alter the landscape of the world.

CHRIST IS KING.

That's cool and all, but you want to explain to me why you lied and how that violated your precious ten commandments?

We take an anthropomorphic position because he said we were formed in his image and likeness.

"Anthropomorphic", for your record, can only be described as a likeness to a physical form.

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. In no way is it limited to physical form. Keeping his commandments is not limited to the physical form either, nor did I violate them.

These are oxford dictionary definitions.

Anthropomorphism: The attribution of human characteristics or behaviors to an animal, object, or a god.

Personification: The attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

Another thing to note is that anthropomorphism defines other things taking after human, not the other way around. The god can take an anthropomorphic position. We can't, because we are already human.

We take an anthropomorphic position because he said we were formed in his image and likeness.

Are you implying that gasp the god is merely human-like? How unlike an almighty god.

That’s just semantics at this point. The definition I gave is just as valid, and using the term reciprocally is well understood. The creator is not taking on characteristics of his creation, and I never implied such a thing; so for you to infer that is essentially grasping at straws.

God said we were made in his image and likeness; I’m merely repeating it. Your argument is based on a logical fallacy that God needs to breathe, eat, and defecate like his creation. He gives the breath of life, and the fruit of the trees for his creation to eat.
