"When you look in the mirror you are looking at the image of god".
That's a nice fantasy, but look at the condition of this world. If being Godly were that easy, the world would be in better shape. Maybe that's why it's in such bad shape,...because so many people all throughout history did believe something like that. You have to admit, that is very egotistical. Jesus never taught that there was anything Godly in just being human, He said that human nature is human folly (foolishness). Our natural limitations (Romans 6:19) are what keep us from always walking with God and Jesus tells us that we have to overcome our natural limitations by learning from His spirit. If natural man was fit for the kingdom without God's intervention, then The Father in heaven would not have had to send Jesus for us.
When you look in the mirror, it is not the creator's image you see, it may be your choice to think it is, but that is YOUR god, not THE God.
