Bible Question:
God said "Come, let Us go down there....... Who is God speaking to? Who is "Us"? |
Bible Answer: 1 Dove, I think there are two schools of thought on this usagae of "we." One is that the royal "We" or "Us" is being used, the other that it is indication of foreshadowing of the Trinity. If you take the Trinitarian position, it is important that the Trinity is understood, so far as it cane be understood as one God in three Persons, not "three beings." For as the Nicene Creed states, Jesus is "one in being with the Father," as is the Holy Spirit. Emmaus |
