Genesis 1:26

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[a] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

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

GOD HAD CREATED ANGELS WHO ARE SPIRITS, JUST LIKE GOD BEFORE FORMING MAN. IT WAS THESE ANGELS GOD WAS REFERRING TO US, NOT OTHER GODS. GOD IS ONE

here is proof that God had formed angels before man

Job 38:4-7

4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7 while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?

YHWH IS ONE

Jesus CHRIST IS YHWH

The word "God" is in plural. The original version of the Torah used the word "Elohim" which was turned to "God" by the King James version.It's plural grammatically, and one reasonable interpretation would be that it refers to multiple gods.

Genesis uses "us" later on, when it's time to confound the languages of folks in Babel, at Genesis 11:7: "Let us go down, and there confound their language."

Exodus also acknowledges the existence of other gods, although they're now rivals rather than allies:

Exodus 12:12: "And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment."

Exodus 18:11: "Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods."

Exodus 20:3: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

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

The first reference I pick up in the text to him being the one and only god is in Deuteronomy 4:35: "Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him." Which is an attempt to impose himself(Yahweh) as the only god.

YHWH IS ONE

Jesus CHRIST IS YHWH

This conclusion of yours shows how desperate you are to merge Yahweh and Jesus together. You must now explain why Yahweh and Jesus portrayed different characters? Yahweh was cold blooded and extremely arrogant,had no sympathy for women,gays or anyone who crossed his path. Jesus on the other hand preached love. You cannot merger this two together. Please come with something different.

Because it isnt!

Rather, the prevalence of divergence only underscores that there is the Truth! Even the Bible already foretold of these things so we are unperturbed thereby the only concern is those who are affected/deceived by the dissenters.

I thought you said Jesus was a myth . Now a myth should not be merged with a non-existent God ? Haba !

You are so confused that forgot that you cannot conflate or cohere two 'elusive concepts'

Off course , if you are filled with so much misconceptions you can see the bible as a book of contradiction . There are contradictions even in science - as regards to theories. Should we say scientists are confused ?

Anyway your signature says " I Am Ur god " - can you explain why you conspicuously wrote that ?

You know you cherry picked what you wanted. I pointed out the characters of Jesus and Yahweh to be different, according to how the writers of the bible portrayed the fictional characters .

I believe you went to school. Make use of a bit of intelligence if you have any on you.

It keeps getting worse ! You also said sometime that Yahweh is an alien , an annunaki to be precise looking for gold on earth . That's why he was walking in the garden of Eden . Remember? So , now they are fictional characters ?

How far na grin

So if Yahweh is fictional then annunaki is fictional and Jesus being a hybrid of man and alien is also fictional - this makes your God-is-an-alien theory you always peddle ludicrous .

Yes it is fictional because Yahweh is not a god(Just a misunderstood version of the original story of Sumerian which Nigerian Christians are too deluded to understand). That makes it fictional and Jesus was an edited version of the Sun god,Horus etc

Let get to the main point here! The OP claimed Yahweh is jesus. That obviously is a lie.

From your honest point of view,do you see jesus and yahweh to be the same character? Be honest!
