[color=#990000][/color]I was reading my bible,, with particular emphasis on "Genesis 1:26".And God said" let Us create man in out own image..... ". From my own personal understanding, the US there means there were more than one, maybe two or even billion others. God is a particular individual involved in the creation of man, and the others could include others such as:Zeus, Allah, Osiris, ogunbanjo, if, Satan, etc.... So which of these Gods do we worship in church, mosque, and other religious centers? Could God and Allah be two different creators involved in the creation of man? Before I receive criticism, I just want to say that this is just my own understanding due to my individual perception.... We all have out own truths.... So I need Christians, Muslims, atheist, pantheism, deist que other "ist" to voice out their own understanding of the above verse.... Thank you

you need to understand that in eastern languages like Hebrew and Arabic they have plurals of respect. so you'll find Us, We, Our etc yet still referring to a singularity.

besides, if there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides the One True God, there would have been confusion in both! -Quran 20:21

there can be only ONE !

so am supposed to believe everything written in a Quran, even when it defies logic?

If there weren't other gods Yahweh would not be so jealous to have to tell you to "worship no other gods but me"!

Lies. Even the Jews were not monotheistic until the reformation of Josiah. That was around the same time the books of the bible was transcribed from oral tradition to written text. The only reason why Jews are monotheists today is because the monotheists won in the power struggle against the polytheists. The opposite happened in ancient Egypt. The word Elohim is said to be a plural form of deities.

Actually any logical Christian or Muslim should believe in many gods than one singular god. The probability that a god could exist out of nothing and just come into being is the strongest argument for other similar gods just existing out of nothing and coming into being without any explanation and having neither end nor beginning.

" no other gods "even signifies they're other gods...

The next verse tells us that there was only one who created humankind, hence only one God.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

any logical Christian or Muslim should believe that you can't have two Captains on one ship.

it's an obviously simple argument: no institution, no household, not to speak of the vast universe containing multitudes of countless distant stars, can function smoothly and properly, if it has two masters.

no. it means there CAN be no other God's.

You are translating English language meaning of US forgetting that there are cultural use of "US"

In Yoruba language , Plural "E" is used to refer to an individual as a mark of Respect.
In Arabic and other Semitic languages: an important personality would use "WE", "US" and "OUR" for himself.

It's like computers thinking there's only one human because that human created them.

That's not analogous to the passage though. The text makes it clear that only God created humankind. The hebrew word for create (bara) always has only one subject - God.

Enki and Ninmah created the black headed people... That is us, Enki and Ninghiszida created the second set, that is the mongoliods while Marduk and... Some. Say Inanna created the Caucasian... I don't know how true it is, cause marduk and Inanna are enemies....

Enki Is Obatala.... The father of humanity.

There are more than one God.... There is only one creator of all... And he is the Lord Marduk, the lugal dimmer ankia which means the divine king of heaven and earth... He is also olodumare..

There is Trinity, if that doesn't violate your thinking.

What's trinity? One very funny doctrine of 3 people in one. They tell you it is beyond human comprehension, thus there's no need to think. Just shutdown the brain and believe.

There is only one supreme God. It created many heavens and put lesser gods in charge of those planes. The gods in charge of the lower planes or heavens are usually the ones that require recognition and worship. The Supreme God has no need for such and its only requirement is that Soul attains spiritual maturity and returns back home to It. In order words there is a spiritual hierarchy headed by the Supreme God.

GOD does not reside in Heaven alone. He is the FATHER and KING of Heaven.

Atheist's way to destruction. Atheists are mad since they are noncomformists. Christians cannot be yoked them because they are already in Hell.

That is the back-bone of your belief; Hell. You also are in hell. Everybody is in hell. Everybody is also in heaven.

You are repeating Atheist's principle. By Democracy, the best form of Government in Heaven and on Earth, I am free to disagree. This leaves us to The Supreme Spirit that you don't believe but I do, as The Supreme Judge in Heaven who created the Earth as His Foot Stool.

It doesn't leave 'us'. It leaves only you.
