Within this study, individuality is not invented at birth. We enter flesh as recognizable souls made in our own image, while the flesh body introduces sickness, injury, age, and defect. Salvation restores the person; it does not erase the person God created. Where Scripture supports it: Genesis 1:26 uses plural speech—‘Let us make man in our image.’ Job 38 places sons of God at creation, and 1 Corinthians 15 distinguishes earthly and heavenly bodily conditions while retaining personal identity. Why it matters: The proposal explains why humanity is recognizable across flesh and spiritual encounters and why salvation restores rather than erases the individual.

KJV passages and notes

GENESIS 1:26–27 — KJV 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… 27 So God created man in his own image… male and female created he them. NOTE: The plural speech is explicit. Saying God addresses all souls in their spiritual bodies and reproduces their individual appearances is the synthesis.

Conclusions and suppositions

EXPLICITLY WRITTEN God speaks plurally and humanity is made in the divine image, male and female. CALL MY G CONCLUSION Call My G understands the audience as God’s children and flesh humanity as formed in the recognizable images those souls already possessed. SUPPOSITION / OPEN EXPLORATION Genesis does not explicitly define ‘image’ as each person’s physical appearance or DNA.

Consistency test

Does the interpretation honor God as Creator, avoid making angels co-creators, and distinguish spiritual identity from biological claims?
