If God created MAN in His Image....the God is a Man,a male.
God Created Adam in His image...Eve was created from Man.
God Took FLESH and became man...The Son Of God...the Son of God took on human flesh and became incarnate as the God-man Jesus Christ,
it became possible to portray the glory of God incarnate.
"Blessed are the eyes which see what you see!" (Luke10:23)....
For the Lord first said: "Let Us make man in Our Image,
after Our Likeness..." [Gen. 1:26].
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life" [Gen. 3:7].
The Lord created man by a special act: He first created the body, and then breathed into it the "breath of life," i.e. he instilled in it as it were
a portion of His Divine Essence. That is why in the Psalm [Ps. 82:6 KJV/81:6 Septuagint], the Prophet David has God say about people: "I have said,
ye are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High." The Incarnate Lord Jesus Christ Himself confirmed the Truth of those words to the Jews who
were prepared to stone Him to death, accusing Him of making Himself equal to God by calling God his Father. The Lord replied to them thus: "Is it not
written in your law, I said, 'Ye are gods' and the scripture cannot be broken?" [John 10:34-35].

God the Lord has appeared to men in the flesh, that men have seen Him with their own eyes, touched Him with their hands, have beheld the victory and
glory of the Only Begotten Son of God (John 1:1 14,1 John 1:1-31.... reverent worship of what is for man's mind the incomprehensible union of the
divine and human, which led to the birth of Him who has no beginning, the death of Him who is immortal, and life beyond the grave." (pp.7-8)
