Mother of "God"? Image and likeness ... does it imply both genders as unique?

Whereas the reference to man is used throughout scripture, it does refer to male and female. Your understanding has been mixed with new age teaching, because you cannot be like Jesus, perfect, without being born again. Just reading the bible without the Holy Spirit will give you no revelation, and you will form your own understanding. This is the result of modern day religions, many ideas but little truth. Our truth comes from God, not man.
