Can I say earthliving? Does that word exist, I wasn't sure.
The Bible says God created man as his earthliving self.
Thank you! |

| Dear Makin: 'Earthliving' is not in my dictionary. In your sentence, it is used as an adjective. As such, it is not very useful, since every human and animal and plant lives on Earth (except those living in the International Space Station). It doesn't distinguish between things. It applies to everything, except God, Who definitely doesn't live on Earth. So, God can use it, but not us Earthlings. |

You could say "earthly self."
