The Image of God is NOT a Quality. It is a Status

I am opposed to the qualitative view of the image of God; that the image refers to a quality, because it cannot be said that all humans at all stages of life's existence, have whatever this quality is, and there's a whole grocery list that the theologians have proposed; self-awareness, the ability to pray, language, etc. The biblical teaching is that whatever the image is, it's not bestowed incrementally. It distinguishes humanity from everything else in the earthly creation here. And it's both male and female. It's just there. To be human is to be whatever this is. And if you make it a quality, you can't say those things of a fetus. The little multi-cell thing in the woman's womb there, it's not praying, it's not communing with God. It's not self-aware, it's none of these things. A lot of these are all actually linked to brain function. And this view has actually been used by ethicists to say that life isn't sacred until you get brain development. It really has dark ethical implications, but we don't realize that because we're just sort of taught to think this way. And I'm opposed to that. What what the image really is, it's not a quality, the image is a status or function. Check it out!
