Excuse me, I tend to write a lot in capital letters. It is surely a way of affirming more strongly what I believe. I know it can be annoying.
I gave you Micah 5:2 which shows us that the Messiah originated in the days of eternityWhat do you think ?

@ Berean,
This is one large merry-go-round; a circular trajectory we travel. Over the last year I have been on a quest of sorts wanting, seeking, and searching for scriptural truth. Took my questions to the pastors of the church only to be told I’m wrong and even told I needed to stop studying so much…what the what!?!? In this process I began q…[Read more]

While you are carefully contemplating if that guy or yourself is a liar, I offer this video which answers your main question, but I am not sure whether you will be able to grasp it or not. I post it in the hope that you can understand it.

Hi DesireTruth
God WHO SAID:
LET US MAKE MAN…
DID NOT SPEAK TO ANGELS
HE WAS TALKING TO HIS SON
HIS SON WAS THE ONLY BY WHOM ALL THINGS WERE MADE 👉JOHN,1:3
AND HIS SON WAS GOD IN THE BEGINNING,. AND HE WAS WITH THE GOD.
GOD DID NOT CONSULT THE ANGELS TO CREATE MAN BUT HIS SON.
ALL THE OTHER 5 DAYS OF CREATION HE WAS WITH THE GOD, THAT’S…[Read more]

@ Berean,
Your assumption is the angels where involved in the physical act of creation – not at all what I said or implied. I am merely stating God spoke with them as he did in Job when the angels presented themselves. This experience in Job can’t possibly be the only time the angels present themselves before God, I would be safe in saying thi…[Read more]

When God created man he made him perfect.
But he gave man free will by placing two trees in the garden.
Unfortunately, man chose to go against God.
But God had a plan from before the foundation of the world where the lamb would be slain if this ever happened. Thus, it was prophesied that he would die. When you think about it, someone was going…[Read more]

John.1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hi Berean and All,
I want to point out that it is ONLY in the making of man into the image of God that we see an “us” and an “our”.

Hi Berean,
KJ says,
Isaiah 45,
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. 8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down…[Read more]

Hi Desire Truth,
My understanding I believe is similar if not the same as Gene’s.
The “us” represents His Spirit(s). I first thought as well as you did that He might have been talking about the angels, but in reading that God says that He created earth and man upon it by Himself I realized that then didn’t fit.
I think it’s interesting that…[Read more]

@ Gene,
Not familiar with the “seven spirits of God” teaching as you have summarized; please provide a little more background (ie scripture references). I don’t need a book explanation, just pointed in the “right” direction so I know where to begin the study. I do my own research so as not to cloud my thinking or have doctrinal bias implanted.
Thanks

Proclaimer……..There exists no such thing as a Will, being free itself, or it would not be called a will, now would it? , Free will, is an OXYMORON, because no such thing exists.
