In the first case you left out the second part.... "the man is become as one of us, in knowing good and evil". There is no doubt that man was created in God's image, but that image was severely damaged because of man's disobedience. In fact it was because of this damage that God withdrew the Tree of Life and exiled man from the Garden. This is where the long history of redemption begins. This redemptive history has it's conclusion when at last even our bodies are redeemed from the corruption of the Fall. At this point man will be returned to the image and likeness of God.

"Know ye not that ye are gods" Jesus Christ was not saying this but merely quoting from Psalm 82. He was simply turning the tables on the hypocritical Jewish leaders (who supposed they really knew the scriptures). The gods that were mentioned were those "to whom the Word of God came"...mere mortal men. Anyway, go read the whole Psalm (it's only 8 verses) for the complete context and get back to us.

Great response bro.

Hey, my case is to see god in others ... or should we see non-believers as nothing but evil?

And you might like to also reference Isaiah 41:23 and the context.
