Bible Note: Hi stj Thank you for your previous note of support and your present note. With regard to Genesis 1.26 I had only cited it as an example. I am very happy for anyone who sees it in that way to take it as indicating the triunity of God as I said to CJBD. It is clearly a subject on which there is wide disagreement. In such a case it is only The Yorkshireman who said to his friend, "Only thee and me is right, and even thee's a bit wrong sometimes' who would argue about it. Dr Constable commenting on 1:26-27 puts it this way, "Us" is probably a plural of self-deliberation (cf. 11:7; Ps. 2:3), though possibly God was addressing His heavenly court (cf. Isa. 6:8). This word involves "in germ" the doctrine of the Trinity. However, we should not use it as a formal proof of the Trinity since this reference by itself does not prove that one God exists in three persons.77 "Although the Christian Trinity cannot be derived solely from the use of the plural, a plurality within the unity of the Godhead may be derived from the passage."78 The theological controversy in Moses' day was not between trinitarianism and unitarianism but between one self-existent, sovereign, merciful God and many limited, capricious, often immoral gods.79 Perhaps it is best if we leave it like that?
