So are we made after the image of the divine or human? What exactly does image mean to you? Where does the bible say we are made after the image of Christ?

When we see Jesus, we see God.

We see a physical representation of God's person.
We men are the image and glory of God
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.

I think you all are reading way too much into this. Paul said Jesus was MADE from a woman and after the seed of David. Jesus's humanity came from man that was already created. We are both the image of God. Jesus, however is more in that He possessed the Divine nature as well. So he could say "when you see me you have seen the Father"

He is our perfect example of how to live the way God created us to live. God in his human body is just as much God in Spirit. Jesus did not count it robbery to be equal to God, but he humbled himself as a man and submitted to the will of his Father.

I don't see how that proves anything pertaining to this discussion

The Son of God is the express image of the invisible God. If you want to see God, look at the Son. The Son is the ONLY image of God we will ever see and we are made like Him or in his image.

You are mixing two verses here. He is the express image of God's person. That word for image is different than the one where it says the image of the invisible God. And Yes Jesus is the visible image of God. He is God incarnate. But we were made in the image of God, not his body. We ARE the image and glory of God as well. There is one image we were made in. I'd like to think it meant more than just a physical shell. Also Jesus died. Adam would not have died if it were not for sin. If we were made in the image of Jesus's human body then Jesus could not have been killed on the cross. Rather Jesus was made like us.

Rom 1:3 about His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh,

2Ti 2:8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel,

Gal 4:4 But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

Rom 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
