Jesus Christ: Man and the Image of God

Does the apostle James confirm Genesis 1:26?

"...With it (the tongue) we curse men, who have been made in the similitude (likeness) of God" (James 3:9).

Clearly, two passages in Genesis (Gen. 5:2 and 9:6) substantiate the fact that men and women continued in the image and likeness of God even after sin had entered man's world and greatly marred human character. Several millennia later Christ's apostles confirmed this basic biblical teaching: To be a human being is to have been created in the image and likeness of God.

This is one good reason we should greatly value our human relationships and how we deal with each other. Slander, backbiting and maligning others contradict the natural dignity of our awesome purpose in life.
