Aug 13, 2020 at 14:45 comment added rhetorician In addition to Genesis 1:26, you could have piggybacked on the issue of the two aspects of Jesus spoken of in Philippians Chapter 2, where the words likeness, appearance, and nature are used in different ways to describe the God-Man, Jesus Christ.

Aug 11, 2020 at 13:19 comment added Nigel J I am hoping someone will enlighten us. As yourself, I have just read and not understood. I've looked at Young's Concordance today but scanning the word-usage in scripture hasn't revealed anything to me. My initial thought is that 'image' refers to the appearance and 'likeness' would be more - the manner, the behaviour. But I am guessing, so cannot post a real answer.
Aug 11, 2020 at 13:12 comment added user35953 Thanks Nigel. For years I just read them as synonyms.
