Why God Made an Idol - Tobi Arayomi

Why God Made an Idol | The Shocking Truth About the Image of God Did God really make an idol? In this episode of the TAP Podcast, we explore the original Hebrew word tselem (image) and uncover what Genesis actually meant when it says humanity was created in the “image of God.” In the ancient world, an image wasn’t symbolic. It was a statue. A living representative. A physical embodiment of authority. So what was God doing in Genesis 1? Why were idols banned immediately after? What did it mean when God said to Moses, “I have made you a god to Pharaoh”? Why does Psalm 82 say, “Ye are gods”? What does it mean that we were made lower than angels — but now seated above them in Christ? This teaching will challenge everything you thought you knew about: • The Image of God (Imago Dei) • The Divine Council • Sons of God in Deuteronomy 32 • Psalm 82 explained • Hebrews 2 and being made lower than angels • Colossians 1:15 – Christ the Image of the invisible God • Theosis and becoming sons This is not surface-level theology. This is identity. When you understand what God made in Genesis… you understand who you are. ⸻ 🔔 Join the TAP Podcast Telegram Channel: If this message stirred something in you, join our private Telegram community where we go deeper: 👉 https://t.me/+rX7BEdD28FEyMjk0 We share exclusive teachings, early drops, and discussions you won’t find on YouTube. ⸻ 📌 Comment Below: What does being made in God’s image mean to you?
