I think I hate pastors. I learn one new Biblical truth every couple years, and I'm way ahead of all the pastors I've ever met, save one.
To "be made in God's image" actually means something specific. It's a designation that you are an Image-bearer, a creature designed to spread God's dominion over creation. It's sort of like being a standard-bearer for God.
It doesn't mean that you're perfect no matter what you do. Interpreting it that was is a clear cut case of satanic inversion.
This is a satanic denial of the need to change and repent for forgiveness. If they're fine just as they are, then nothing is a sin and there is no need for contrition.
It's just "do what thou wilt" written differently. Because in actual Christian doctrine the wheat will be separated from the chaff.
Can I ask how do you learn Biblical truth? I've been very recently trying to become religious after a long time of being agnostic and if you have books to recommend I appreciate it.
So far I've just been going thru the Bible and going to church, unfortunately not every Sunday.
