When one removes the trinity doctrine and understand that the Most High is one, just as Jesus and all Jews before have believed, it falls right into place. Until then your left trying to teach the the creator of all things talks to Himself, prays to Himself, and all the rest that make no sense.
IMO when the Most High says us He is talking to His divine council. It makes more sense than talking to Himself.
Not true, who was the Most high talking to when he said, Genesis 1:3 "And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light." and everywhere else where he said, "Let there be". well? ... because no one was around, but him.
and when he came to Genesis 1:26 he said "Let
US, was he alone, YES, at that TIME. so was he speaking to himself? NO, but speaking by himself, concering HIMSELF to come. but was not God speaking all the time throught out the OT? yes. understand "J", in Hermeneutic, there is a near and far application study of the bible. listen, Genesis 11:7 "
Go to, let us go down, and
there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
Genesis 11:8 "
So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city."
now Jaybird, did you see the "
US" there in the Verse? is this just as the "US" as in Genesis 1:26? yes. let us tell you the revelation,
A. the "US" was to come. why? listen, because God was to confuse the language, and scatter the people. correct. ok, listen to the verses before....
Genesis 11:5 "And
the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded."
Genesis 11:6 "And
the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
Genesis 11:7 "Go to,
let us go down, and there
confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
STOP, DID YOU SEE IT? in verse 5 the LORD came Down.... already, so why did he say in verse 7 AFTER verse 5, "let, let, let, US go down when he was already DOWN? don't make sense do it? well it makes FAITH, and here's why. as said in Hermeneutic, there is a study called
near and far application. meaning something happening how will have an effect on somethin in the future in the same context. here, God confounded the Language of the people, and scattered them abroad, correct. well the far application of this, came on the Day of Pentecoast when God made the confounded language, one as before, (all understood). and instead of scattered them abroad, ...... from abroad, he gathered them together. BINGO, keep this in MIND of the Near and Far application of Hermeneutic. now lets apply the same application to Genesis 1.
in Genesis 1, God, as said, was already speaking. "Let there be", there is that same word, "let", well, "Let there be this and that on each day". ok, God has already spoken. Just like when he has already come down to the city and tower of Babel, already came down, before he said, let US, right. now Genesis 1:26 "And God said,
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
BINGO,. let us
make man, now the NEAR, and FAR, application of Hermeneutic in use. lets understand. the NEAR application, Let US
make man, and man was
made by God, (one person, because of Genesis 1:27). now the Far application, Galatians 4:4 "But when
the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son,
made of a woman,
made under the law," BINGO, when in the fullness of time, remember as I said, "TIME", PLACE, ORDER, and RANK. the "
TIME" of God coming in flesh, (his OWN image), "
MADE" of a woman, meaning the IMAGE, that FIGURE, or FASHION, or the BODY, GOD "CAME" IN, WAS GENERATED in the BELLY of a woman, (Romans 5:14b, Gal 4:4). the PLACE, when God sent his angel to the virgin Mary, and the saviour was born in the city of David, (Luke 2:11). and the ORDER, is the Last, or the Last Adam, (1 Corinthians 15:45).
see it now "J?", God was to "COME", the likeness of his OWN, OWN, OWN, IMAGE ..... MAN, which was to come, the NEW MAN, or the LAST Adam. and that happen at John 1:1... My GOD this is revelation upon revelation.
God was speaking at Genesis 1:26, of himself to come as the LAST ADAM, his "ANOTHER" of himself to Come, this is why God is called an H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem'), here, and not the H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah) when speaking of himself to come in flesh, do you fully understand this?. this was fulfilled, Galatians 4:4, and John 1:14. GOD was speaking of himself to come in flesh.. HIS, HIS, HIS, own IMAGE... "MAN". supportive scripture, Philippians 2:6 "
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery
to be equal with God:" Philippians 2:7 "
But made himself of no reputation,
and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:" BINGO, this just answered Genesis 1:26. Philippians 2:8 "
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."
understand now Jaybird, the "US" and "OUR" is to COME, in which, the Hermeneutic NEAR, and FAR application is clearly excuted by our God, shows who is as an H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem'), meaning that he's the ECHAD of his OWN-SELF, which is the H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah), the ONE TRUE AND LIVING, GOD, ... JESUS the almighty. BINGO,

YIKES!. not only did I go bible on you only, but I used worldy educational application also with the use of Hermeneutic NEAR, and FAR application. now you have the bible facts, and to back this up, in educational application.
