Bible Question: make man in our image? how was God talking to to make man in OUR image? OUR? |
Bible Answer: Hi, this is more than just God the father, it implies what we call the plural of majesty. Father , Son and Holy Spirit.Just as in the very first bible verse, we read God created the heavens and the earth, well this word for God in Hebrew is Elohym which identifies plural form of Eloah. Just as we read that Jesus was in the begining with God, and that all things were made by him and without him was not anything made.John 1:2-3 Also read colossians 1:15-17 These scriptures give us the very foundation to our claims of the trinity.
