Not sure what you mean by me missing the "we" but, you appear to understand that the "we" in the verse asserts more than one individual and the "one" asserts unity in purpose of a multitude of individuals.

Yay. You get the distinction. God and Christ are separate individuals but they are one in purpose just as he asserted that his followers should be; John 17:11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom...

Do you believe that The Father and the Son are a single "numeric essence"? Do you believe that The Father and Son are a single God? Do you believe that the holy spirit is separate person from God? If you say yes to those questions then explain why mankind who was made in the image of God was...

I only referenced this to show that phd's or expert opinions don't necessarily create a path to truth. Consider this, the original translators didn't have all the evidence we now possess when they were trying to make the translation and yet the same old text based on the understanding of those...

Therein lies the rub. God has said that his inspired word is true and dependable but, he didn't say anything about translations of his word into any other language. The hebrew scribes who were commissioned in each generation to faithfully copy the scrolls had very meticulous methods to retain it...

The 2 statements are these; The Bible does not say, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." A more accurate statement would be, "The Bible says, ' בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ (bereshiyt bara elohiym et hashamayim v'et ha'arets), He is simply...

The verb and how and why it varies. Outline. A verb usually describes an action. Variations on this central concept inform us who performs the action, when it is performed, or if we are considering the action in itself, whether it is a statement about it in a particular case, or a command to...

I understand what you are seeing in the observable world and I am grasping how you are seeing it within the creation story and it is admirable to try and give additional meaning to God. Let me pass on to you the world that I see and see if this makes sense to you. In my world I study Engineering...

Indeed a wise question Learn Hebrew Verbs - Verb Tenses Each Hebrew verb also identifies the tense of the verb. In English a verb can have three tenses - past, present or future. Examples of these would be "You cut a tree" (past), "You are cutting a tree" (present) and "You will cut a tree"...

You specifically said ""If you study the Hebrew words you will notice in Gen 1:3 the word "said" is not past tense but is in the IMPERFECT tense. That means the action of saying something is not finished but is a continual repetitive event which happened in the past, is happening in the ever...

Imagination is a gift how far you take it determines whose gift its from

What makes you think that I am inferring that God spoke audible words that our ears would hear? The ear had not yet been made. Gen 1:1 implies a completed creative act actually. I do study Hebrew and you apparently haven't so, here is your first lesson; Learn Hebrew Verbs - Biblical...

That verse has been controversial for quite some time and should not on its own be a foundation of understanding. If the verse is a truth from God and God does not change then that reference would be found throughout his word but as we can see here it is not; Colossians 2:1 For I would that ye...

You are correct that Christ the Son is a separate being from God the Father but there is no triune anything; John 17:1These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2As thou hast given him power...

There is no triune God. John 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father...

The Sabbath was not actually given in Sinai.... it was reminded... Remember to keep it holy. The judging of Sabbaths / holy days was in reference to how you kept them holy not whether they should be kept. The jewish leaders had added so many rules not given by God for how to observe the days...

And here is the translation of Genesis 1:1-5 of the bible (Tanakh) by Jews (Jews were chosen by God to convey his word) for english speaking people! Genesis 1 1 When God began to create heaven and earth 2 the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind...

You can certainly THINK that "God made man before Angels" but then you would have to be asserting that God was lying in Job 38; 1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I...

You absolutely stated that everything was already made; Dcopymope said "When it says that God created the heavens and the earth, it means exactly that. Its saying that on the very first day, the earth, sun, moon and stars were already created "in the beginning", from the start. What God does...

Earth is not the focal point. The focal point of the creation is the "heavens and the earth".... very plain and simple. If the heavens had no bearing then vs. 1 would simply have said In the beginning God created the earth... You didn't see what I was telling you in that response... according...
