Thank you for the information.
You’re welcome.
What do you think of the verse that says, God said, "Let US make man in OUR image."
To begin with, “God” is singular. It was suggested to me overnight by another member of the forums that “God” is plural. That idea has no support whatsoever in Hebrew Lexicons and there are no English language translations which render the word plural when referring to the deity of the Bible.
The “us” and the “our” in the passage doesn’t suggest to me that God is talking to himself. He’s addressing someone else. Who could that be? I agree with trinitarian commentators who say the addressed are the angelic court. Who else is there at that time for him to address?
The common objection, and I think a weak one, is that man is not created in the image of angels. That’s certainly true but it ignores angels also having been created in the image of God. Were they? If the discussion is limited to only that issue, it’s not uncommon for people to come to agreement that they were. Personally, I think that resolves the matter.
Some believe that this is a “hint” that “God is plural.” If that is so, why hint at it? Just out and say it. Thousands upon thousands of singular personal pronouns are used in reference to God. If God wanted to “hint” that he is singular, he couldn’t have picked a clearer way to do it than that. It would be virtually impossible to miss it.
