Bible Note: Here is my problem, "It teaches that there is one God who manifests Himself in three Persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. --Hank". I don't think God was speaking in this way. You have said God is all three, who was God speaking to? It appears to me that God is speaking to, and of, everything which was just created, everthing that is or can ever be. God spoke to *everything* that was just created and then created man in the image of everything, light, night, heaven, earth, water, land, every living creature, as well as God. |
