Bible Note: Excellent point, brother Chuck! It does seem strange indeed, not to mention unscriptural, to entertain the notion that the omnipotent and sovereign God, creator of all things in heaven and earth, would condescend to inveigle the angels, who themselves are beings created by His mighty power, to help Him with His creation of man. That is a concept that clearly appears foreign to the doctrines of Scripture. To read into the pronoun "Us" in Genesis 1:26 a meaning that includes angels is a groundless interpolation devoid of even a scintilla of evidence on which to base a valid conclusion or draw a sound inference. It is a quantum leap into the error-breeding world of eisegesis. To suggest that Almighty God needed the help of angels in His work of creation or anything else is both patently unscriptural and pejorative. --Hank |
