Image of God = Yahshua.  Period.

Anyone whose life is lived practicing their faith in a different way than him (ie. worshipping a God of a different name, breaking the Law of God as perfectly obeyed by him, worshipping a cow, etc.) is not reflecting the image of God. 

One fundamental difference between what it seems you believe, and what I believe - you believe that the "image of God" can be different for different people, I believe the image of God is constant, unchanging, and the same to all people.  As our knowledge of who God is and how He wants us to obey Him increases, His image becomes clearer and clearer to us, but the image does NOT change.

I emphatically DISAGREE with your statement, "but we do create our image of him."  An all knowing, unchanging God, the God of Yahshua, the God of the Bible, has control over His own image.  If we, as different people see Him differently, it is not because He is portraying or allowing a different image of Himself, it is because we have blinders on that prevent us from seeing Him in His true self.  His image was created BY Him, and is maintained BY Him.

I am kind of wondering if this post is ever going to get back to the original questions - What is the Word of God? and How do we know?  This forum was not started to discuss how certain people believe that the Hindu gods are really the same as the Christian God!  It was started to seek an answer to how we can know what is inspired of God (the god of Yahshua, Yahweh) amongst all the different texts and books out there.
