NASB | John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 1:1 In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Gen 1:1; Is 9:6] |
Bible Question:
In the Bible it says "Us" "We" and "Our" quite a bit. In the beginning of Genesis in 1:26-27 it says: "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image" later it goes onto say that "So God created man in His own image" I'm curious as to who God is referring to when he says "Us" "Our" and in later verses "We". I always assumed he was simply referring to Angels. Am I right? Or is He referring to something else? |
Bible Answer: Hi harmsway; I believe, as do many other Christians, that this perhaps is a reference to what is known as the trinity, or, the three persons of God. Hence, "Let Us" and "Our image" Hear is Scripture that is in support of the belief in the Trinity. There are many in the Bible that support this. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This is clear evidence that Jesus is God. John 1:32 John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him. 1:33 "I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.' These are obviously referring to The Holly Spirt. I hope this helps you God bless stj |
