A college professor brought this up in a class on Hebrew Bible but didn’t really explain it. He just told us that it had something to do with ancient near eastern kings, but I never heard any of this and was confused and would like to know what you guys think about the image of God in the book of Genesis. 3. In John 6.23 Jesus says that unless we eat his flesh and drink his blood, we have no life.
