The Image of G-d

Different Religions Have Different Views Of The Creator

Hinduism

Brahma

Christianity

Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam on the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Judaism and Islam

LOL…..

This is especially relevent as we just marked Simchat Torah and began our annual Torah reading again with Genesis.

And G-d created man in His image; in the image of G-d He created him; male and female He created them.

(Genesis 1:27)

Judaism has always interpreted “His Image” as the immortal soul given to mankind, the intangible, animating divine spark within us that is inseparable from the Creator. This is how we explain the diversity of human visages despite our intrinsic unity with each other and the divine, and mesh this profound truth with the Torah’s insistence on an incorporeal, limitless One G-d (Deut. 4:15).

Nick was a long-time opinion columnist for his college's newspaper, The Springhillian, and loved bringing readers fresh insights on government, life, history, disability, health care, morality, religion, foreign policy and more.
Nick left college in 2005 and in 2008 moved from the Gulf Coast to New York City, seeking new opportunities, where he lived for the rest of his life until 2017.

Nick's websites have been left largely intact, so that his thoughts and ideas can continue to speak for themselves.
