GINOLJC, to all.so you think the Father was talking to himself?
i dont think so, if this was true then the passage should stay consistent which it does not as it continues to say "He", not "they".
if it was they then i think you would have a point but its not the way He talks (only 2 times) and never does anyone refer to Him as "they".
First thanks for the reply, second, did I say that the Father was talking to himself? ... no, Jesus, the Ordinal First, who is the Father is speaking just as he has done throught out the bible, expressing his thoughts in WORDS, that is recorded or written down for our understanding. meaning that what he said is written. and here at Genesis 12:26 Jesus, the Ordinal First, is no exception, GOD "SPOKE" PROPHETIC OF HIS COMING IN FLESH. so at Genesis 1:26 he in his word is speaking prophetic to all the World that is to come, for we have what he has said before, "for it is WRITTEN". this is why God is called, the H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') here, as a plurality, instead of the H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah) n-m, a singularity. understand your HEBREW, H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym, is the plural form of H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah). which clearly explain why God spoke the way he did. in plural the form of the H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym is why he is to make man male and female. meaning "ANOTHER" of himself in flesh, (per Isaiah 63:5, and Isaiah 53, and Phil 2:6 & 7).
so there is NO "US", and "OUR" at Genesis 1:26, this was to come as Romans 5:14b clearly states. "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come."
see it.... the figure of him, him, him, not them, but HIM to come. God is a single person throught out the OT, listen, Isaiah 44:8 "Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any." NOTE: (if God know not any other God, not God(S), so that eliminated and most high #22 or #3.)
here, NO GOD is clearly spelled out for us... and H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh is used, (the singularity), and not, H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym, see the difference now? so that right there puts an END to any, and I mean any other God person, or Persons at Genesis 1 at all).
so yes, God was speaking to the whole world in Genesis 1:26 as the bible do right now, and the H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym is in ORDER, of the Ordinal last to come.
see Jaybird, if you could get the understanding of H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym and H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh, then you could understand God as the ordinal First and Last, why God spoke of himself, and not to himself, to come.
get the beginning straight, and and one will be straight, or correct in the end.
