== Imago Dei ==

Imago dei is the biblical belief that humans are created in the image of God. God is not human. But humanity is created in God's image. From this we know that humans are not physically in God's image but spiritually made in His Image. This means that humans have a limited amount of his invisibibleinvisible attributes. This amount of attributes are enough according to the bible for humans to be called created in the image of God. This is not saying humans are Gods. But humans are linked to God by the invisible gifts he has given them. These invisible gifts may be creativity, imagination, the ability to think, reason, and so on.
