"To whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared? (Isaiah 46:5, NIV)
To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like? (Isaiah 46:5, KJV)
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? (Psalms 89:6)
The verse from Genesis wasinspired by pagans who believed they were the "image" of their god.
Genesis was recomposed by Ezra, who made revisions to the Bible after the Babylon captivity.
The books were destroyed by the forces of King Nebuchadnezzar. Ezra returned to Jerusalem in 458 B.C.E. after re-writing the Torah from memory, several changes was made.
Gavana!
You Muslims do not believe man is created in the image of God's essence, but we Christians Do!
The Christian witness, that man is created in the ‘image and likeness of God,' is not the same as the Muslim witness.
