1 | God speaking of Himself as "US" | Gen 1:26 | Joanne | 4482 | ||
When God uses "Us", and also in Gen 18:17-18, God appears to speak with His heavenly council. Does anyone have any greater insight on passages such as these? Thanks. | ||||||
2 | God speaking of Himself as "US" | Gen 1:26 | Hank | 4486 | ||
More probably, "this is the first clear indication of the triunity of God" (MacArthur Study Bible, note on Gen.1:26) The context of Gen. 3:22 "Behold the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil" would seem to support the triunity idea more than the idea that God in these passages was addressing created beings, such as angels. The plural pronoun used in reference to God also appears in Gen. 11:7 in connection with the account of the tower of Babel. Your reference to Gen. 18:17,18 appears to be in error; it does not concern itself with the item in question. It is interesting to note that the verse immediately following Gen. 1:26 reverts back to the singular pronoun, "God created man in His own image." In any event, we can be absolutely sure, in light of the overwhelming evidence the Bible presents to the contrary, that these verses do not support the doctrine of polytheism. --Hank | ||||||
