Greetings sceptor, "Us" and "our" refers to the trinity. God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost. Christ was with the father in the beginning - "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God". John (1:1) prayon | ||||||

Hi prayon, Excuse me if I correct what I think is a typographical mistake on your part. You typed "our" in lower case; and I would like to talk about why I would make it "Our" likeness. I would have people recognize also that it doesn't say Our "likenesses", plural. The triune God is one. But I would also have people recognize that Jesus in the beginning was One. John 1:2, "He [This One] was in the beginning with God." This One in the gospel of John was the One who separated the light from the darkness in Genesis, I would think. I would also have people know that Jesus came to earth in the likeness of men but He came as the Righteous One, even the Man Jesus Christ. Scepter35, I see the triune God in the Man Jesus Christ as He says in Genesis 1:26, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness." I don't see (as the Amplified suggests or at least infers) the triune God in each capitalized pronoun of Us, Our, Our. Rather, I see each of the three Persons represented by a single pronoun. I would compare Genesis 1:26 with Galatians 4:4 Gen. 1:26, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..." Galatians 4:4, "But when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth His Son,..." Even though born of a woman, Jesus was God's Son. We also can be "sons" of God when we have the Spirit of God within us. From the heart, Ray |
