Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let
us make man in
our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Any layman eye will see more than one person here, but is this the TRUTH? No, because without understanding one can be deceived in believing that it appears to be more than one person present at the time of the statement. But lets “Discover” the TRUTH.
Evidence of the TRUTH, the very next verse eliminates any two or more persons present at Genesis 1:26.
Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in
his own image, in the image of God created
he him; male and female created
he them." question,
“What happen to the “US”, and the “OUR”, in verse 26? well……. IT IS NO “US” nor any “OUR” PRESENT at Genesis 1:26. ONLY ONE PERSON IS PRESENT.
Lets back this up and “discover” who and why is the terms “us” and the “our” is used and is not present at Genesis 1:26.
Every answer must be done by scripture, Genesis 5:1 "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made
he him;"
Genesis 5:2 "Male and female created
he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
So again by scriptures “GOD” is a “
he”, a single person. So we have Genesis 1:27 and Genesis 5:1 & 2 confirming the ONENESS of God as “a”
he, single person, for God is "a" Spirit, one person. But now we will hear from God own lips as to him being "a" single person. Matthew 19:1 "And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;"
Matthew 19:2 "And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there."
Matthew 19:3 "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?"
Matthew 19:4 "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that
he which made them at the beginning made them male and female," BINGO.
Now the Lord Jesus himself identified God as a “
he”, a single person. This right here eliminates any three person Godhead. As said, do one believe the Lord Jesus, you say you’re a christian? Well, as a christian do you believe the Lord Jesus GOD almighty whom you trust, or do you believe MAN? This is where we’re at people. Do you believe God, or do you believe man. That is the point of contention. But as a “christian” that should be a no brainier, that’s if one is a christian indeed……….. as a christian one must believe God.
So God was alone and by himself just as Isaiah 44:24 states. Now this is a dilemma for some christian, but as always God gives us the answer,…. Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is
one LORD:"
And the word “one” here is the Hebrew term, H259 אֶחָד 'echad (ech-awd') adj. which confirms God's plurality of ONE PERSON.
1. (properly) united, i.e. one.
2. (as an ordinal) first.
[a numeral from H258]
KJV: a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any(-thing), apiece, a certain, (dai-)ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together.
Root(s): H258
We will fill in the rest as to why God said “US” and “OUR” if he’s only ONE PERSON, (which he is). ain't the bible GRAND…… this is why one needs the Holy Spirit. so we will let this rest on your minds indeed, and will give the answer to why God said, "US", and "OUR" in Genesis 1:26 and then said, "He", and "His" a single person designation in Genesis 1:27
