AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:26 ¶ Then God said, "Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth." [Ps 104:30; Heb 1:2; 11:3] |

Bible Note: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. Dear Zero, here is scripture referring to Jesus as the Word of God. It says He was with God and He was God. How can He be with God and at the same time be God? Think in spiritual terms rather that physical. Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Here is scripture plainly revealing the holy trinity. Matt 3:16 After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, 17 and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." And here we have Jesus being baptized, the Spirit of God descending upon him, and God himself speaking from heaven. All three together somewhat in the same place at the same time. I believe in Genesis 1, God was referring to Himself, Jesus, and the Spirit. I realize this is difficult to understand. It is even more difficult to explain. The point is that scripture mentions each personage individually throughout the bible. |
