Read my original post here again: And then stop your constant fabrication of LIES, adding in words and statements that I never said or intended.

Yes I do, and there are two strong contenders: the
angels and/or the use of the majesty expression -plurality, or overwhelming dominance.
The former is self-explanatory and the latter means that God Almighty (singular) uses a plural emphasis to emphasized his dominance and overwhelming power in creation. An easy example today would be a King or Queen stating the plurality 'we' when they embark or announce something of importance to their people. This majesty expression was a common expression with the Hebrews and it has been imported into the Western culture thousands of years ago. It is however not a common expression today. And we must read scripture in context in the times it was spoken or written.
So in
Genesis 1:26 And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” (KJV)
Again with more explanation...
Elohim and Adonim, are Hebrew words for God, and occur in the plural. If this literally meant a plurality of persons, it would be translated “Gods.” But the Hebrews/Judahites, being truly monotheistic and thoroughly familiar with the idioms of their own language, have never understood the use of the plural to indicate a plurality of persons within the
one God. This use of the plural is for amplification, and is called a
“plural of majesty” or a “plural of emphasis,” and is used for intensification. Many Hebrew scholars identify this use of “us” as the use of the plural of majesty or plural of emphasis. This is what I believe.
And from another person concerning the plural of majesty, clearly attested to in writing from royalty through the ages.
Hyndman writes:
"The true explanation of this verse is to be found in the practice which has prevailed in all nations with which we are acquainted, of persons speaking of themselves in the plural number. “Given at our palace,” “It is our pleasure,” are common expressions of kings in their proclamations "
And this is what you responded with...
1. You were created by angels? Oh my! How utterly outrageous!
-------------my response rewritten again------------------
No, we might have an image as the angels, as the angels have an image of the Creator, as we have an image of the Creator. Figure it out if you have a brain. Let me know if you need some assistance understanding this simple concept.
-------------------------------------------------------
Again, I prefer the last solution, as you could deduce from my repost, although one cannot discount that God Almighty spoke with the angels in Gen 1:26.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is you latest outrageous outburst from this comment of mine:
2. So now you're denying that Gen 1:26 is referring to angels? Make up your mind.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I said it can refer to angels already boy....read again boy, and stop your lying tongue from moving!
You are truly a mentally-challenged person or you just want to cause strife on these forums.
So the challenge to you boy is this. What is your meaning of Gen 1:26? I will want your answer so any casual observer can understand it.
I will be asking you this question until you answer it for me boy....
