Bible Note: Greetings Jonp! You redirected me to this post so I took your direction and read through your post several times. This is what I'm left with... I would think if these things you have presented were correct and a valid argument that the "Us" and "Our" in Genesis 1:26 was an "angelic court" we are left with a problem because there are other INSPIRED scripture that clearly refer to God as the Creator the maker of all things (Ecclesiastes 12:1, Isaiah 40:28, Isaiah 43:1, Isaiah 44:24, Romans 1:25, 1 Peter 4:19). How would those that developed such an argument as you have presented address the fact the same Holy Spirit that inspired the writing of Genesis also inspired these scriptures that speak of God as the Creator and mention nothing of the assumed "angelic court" and their assistance in the creation? I would still have to say the text of Genesis 1:26-27 does not allow for such an interpretation of an "angelic court". I would think verse 27 confirms who the creator was and who's image it is spoken of in verse 26. God Bless, Steve |
