"Us" in Genesis

[zeitgeist]

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have domination 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."

I am stumped to who else in us can be. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm not sure, I've wondered that too. Maybe god is crazy and he was talking to himself.


oh and if you switch god and man the sentence makes perfect sense...well almost

The first book is the 12th planet correct?

Man... this versicle which say "us" is among the ones most debated and confusing in the entire Bible... im sure a student of theology would tell you about all the controversies that arised from this "us"... as it gives rise to endless speculations about who are this "us", cause we usually learn that God is One.
I myself dont know, and have not the slightest idea about it.

When the LORD, the father, says us, who else could it be?

As Jesus said in John 8:58 "before Abraham was, I Am"

Jesus was there in the beginning of man with the father, and when the LORD said let's make man in our image, in our likeness, hes speaking for him and his son, Jesus.

But now, what is the Holy Spirit?

[JeffersonBud]
