| Then God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness...So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, saying Increase and multiply and fill the earth. (Genesis 1:26-28) |
Recently President Biden said that transgender people are made in the image of God. While in transgender people the image of God is vastly distorted, that image of God still exists, therefore President Biden's statement is correct, but only partially. The second part of "being made in the image of God", that is, also "being made in the likeness of God", is missing from the White House's statement, and therein lies the not so complicated comprehension of whether a person, made in God's image, represents being made in the likeness of God as well when they're in a state of mortal sin.
