Mike,Quote The boy scoutS made the fire. Are you saying that “GodS created man in THEIR image”? Elohim is a plural word, like 'scouts' is a plural word, so? I'm saying that the word “God” in the Genesis verse “Let US make man in OUR image” is likely the God who is a unity of more than one member. In that verse, one member of the unity is…[Read more]

Mike, It says 'let Us make' and that indicates more than one person. The unity created. God is a singular person in some contexts and a unity of more than one person in other contexts. The unity performs a singular action, i.e. more than one person performs a singular action which could easily be the case in this verse. Remember the two sticks…[Read more]

Mike, I answered your questions. Did you miss that?Kathi

Mike,Gen 1:26″Let Us make man…”You do believe that the 'us' includes the Son, right?

Mike,Is 43:11Acts 26:15 Jesus says “I am Jesus” which means “I am Yahweh saves” which, when you substitute “Yahweh” with “I Am” you get “I am I Am saves”What is your point, Mike? If Yahweh never said “I am Yahweh” would that mean He couldn't be Yahweh?
