Why is God Father and Son

Genesis 1:26
Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
2 Corinthians 4:4
in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Christ is the image of God and we were made in His likeness. I said you could say we were made physically after Christ as He looked like a man. Anyway read the genesis and see in there likeness and man and female so how could He look like man and woman both? Also He points out rulership over things just like God has. Also the authority. Self reliant thinking and ability to create we got also from Him. Gods pure image was to do good.

its interesting how the word image does not mean image in Genesis but does in pretty much everywhere else in the bible.

Genesis 5:3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth.

Exodus 20:4 You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below

Deuteronomy 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female

2 Kings 3 And he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.

2 Chronicles 3;10And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold.

there are just to many to list but im sure you will ignore the point

2 Corinthians 4:2 Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God,,,,, * +

The image does not always mean a physical look but also characteristics. Whats common to certain icon. Im not arguing about wether we were made to look like God or not but its clear we are in likeness not straight copy. This topic was going to a place were it was mentioned why we all look different and how can God look like all of us. Also it went to how He has the same dna and all our weaknesses ilnesses etc. Its clear the angels look like us but there far different actually. My point wasnt that oh He didnt look like a human rather straight not a human at all. He might of looked similar but its not the point. The point is the character in Whose likeness we were made before our character got corrupted. Its clear we look similar to angels and also the Son of God but its not the point in that verse etc. * +

The point in that verse etc is satan blinding ppl thru there l*st for sin unable to see the truth by doing it. A flesh driven human will always choose contrary to spirit driven human who will avoid what makes them feel better to rather whats good overall. Sin makes ppl blind. Clear example is alcoholism. A person in it will not fully get or deep inside avoid the negatives against that action. A person enjoying sleeping around will not understand the point of marriage with one person. Does not make sense to them etc. Person enjoing his/her freedom to sin an having there own authority will not go to Christ. The bible does help those who do not see but they have to get to the point in understanding were they stand is not firm. A guilty consious with the will to change will have its pages open and making sense. * +

what we see in the text is the words image and likeness. both words are clearly not used to refer to the same thing. so one is most defiantly used as outer appearance. * +
