outstanding.....,

But, who was that??

"The Word" and the Word later became flesh (Jesus)

Thats why they say "Before Adam Jesus was"

He "Jesus created all and that's why all things listen and obeyed him, even wind, death and sicknesses, animals or beasts. etc

Remember, God created the universe through his words, meaning through Jesus, Jesus is the word of God and Spirit of God was moving upon the waters, they are the presence of God.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (These are the creator of man)

Bros, Genesis 1:27 "God created man in his own image,in the image of God He created him male and female" (Compare Matthew 19:4).

Bros, according to Genesis 1:27, quoted by Jesus Christ (Matthew 19:4), God is "He"/ His".

Bros , "He" (God) is how many spirits?
Is "His"/He" a reference to 3 (Triune)?

God, Yahweh "created the Universe THROUGH His Son" and "all the angels shouted for joy."

Yahweh created Man and the Universe THROUGH His Son, Jesus Christ in presence of heavenly angels.

"Let us make man" is a direct speech to all sons (angels) of God.
(Worthy of note: In the spirit realm, Jesus calls himself "Son", Paul calls him "Son" ,Rev 1:5-6. 3:5,12,21. Hebrew 1:1-2. Galatians 4:4)

Hebrews 1:1-2 and Job 38:4-7 throws away Trinitarian FRAUD of Genesis 1:26 into the dustbin.

I ask this question, because of the teachings of certain sects and religious groups, such as Islam who claims Christ was just a prophet, the Jehovah witness who claim Christ is angel michael, and some other groups who try to discredit and deny the divinity and preexistence of Christ.

I presume God's statement (come lets make man in our own image) in the book of "Genesis" was directed to Christ and possibly the holy spirit which is a proof for the doctrine of trinity...

Anyway if there's a contrary probative opinion with cogent evidences, am ready to learn and be corrected.

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.

Why is it that only Christian understand this passage differently . Every other culture or tradition on earth has the original idea..

Man is a composite creation made up of spirit of God + dust of the earth..

If you continue reading you will see where it says God formed man from the dust of the earth and breathed in to his nostrils and man became a living soul..all the creation myth in Nigeria says the same thing. Obatala made human from mud of the earth and called olodumare to animate them. Same with the Igbo creation . the Gods Igwe and Ala....

God was talking to the earth. Or mother nature..


Not any fictitious jesus..
There is nothing fictitious about it.
His name is real.
Who was God talking to? isnt that the question?.

Jesus Christ is the word out of God's mouth, according to scripture, without whom nothing can be created. That we know but was He the only other being there?

Everything is a spirit when it comes to the issue of God, a spirit been the mechanism for operating a certain thing or way, all spirit can take up a form and have it's own identity, a spirit is like a computer program, that is why is when people are possessed by a certain spirit they start to act according to the program of the spirit, example 2nd Timothy 1:7 says
God has not given the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind, that simply means even having a sound mind is a spirit, love is a spirit, power is a spirit so also is the word of God, jesus, that is why the bible said and the word became flesh because without it becoming flesh we would not be able to experience the relationship with jesus(the word in flesh), humans are not built to see spirits, you will have to have a spirit of discernment to be able to see into the spirit realm, 1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Every thing about God has to do with spirits,
there is a spirit for everything it's like an android phone with the apps that makes it function. All app has it's own identity but they all come together to make the phone function properly and even satan operates on this principle, there is a demon for everything the devil needs to get done...

God was referring to his son Jesus Christ whom his spirit manifested in and the identity of what he created from the dust and casted his breathe into took the male identity. The angels are spiritual image of which God made to serve and communicate to we on earth like it was done in old testament but due to human carelessness and agenda of the negative spirit to draw souls upon them, they cook up so many false & ecstatic lifestyle to weak the communication we always have the heavenly grace but the msg hv bn made clear to us after the birth, death & resurrection of his son Jesus Christ of whoever believe in him is redeemed and save but agent of Lucifer will not allow you achieve such height because they hv already knew the weakness of men/women which are things God himself put on earth for our own survival continuity when the right time comes, but we have broken that law by pursuing after it prematurely and aggressively and thereby keeping the maker of such resources aside.

Such resources that is destroying the human race is nothing but Wild & premature intimation, unending orgy over money and man's exploitation of God creation without minding the consequences involve.

That's why Satan fear nothing but Word of God because is Jesus himself and He (Satan) knows.

That why when He met Jesus to tempt him as flesh, Jesus responded to him "It is written" reminding Satan the word of God Jesus that He said grin "Do not tempt ur God" He is God himself, dont temp me....Reminder .... and he flee grin

That's why you should not joke with any word that came from God Himself, is Jesus.

Catholic i pressume.. Glory to Jesus
jesusjnr2020:
John 1:1-3 (KJV)

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.


That meeting in the beginning was a meeting of the highest order of heaven. It involved the Three in one Person.

The Father, the Word (which later became flesh in Jesus) and the Spirit.

The Word and Spirit belongs to the Father and They were both instrumental in the Work He did in the beginning. The Word came out of His Mouth, and the Spirit performed the Word.

So when God said let Us make man in our Own image, the "Us" referred to Word and the Spirit which He used to make the things He made in the beginning.

He also used "let Us" in the Instance of the tower of babel, where the one language of the world was divided. It involved the same Word and the Spirit which He used to make things in the beginning, hence after the same Word was made flesh, and was multiplied after His death, and the Spirit of God performed the Word that had multiplied, they were able to speak in the one language that was divided because of the tower of Babel when God used the term, "let Us" as He did in the beginning.

God doesn't consult with the angels concerning any plans He has, He just makes decisions and gives them instructions to carry out. The angels weren't involved in the making of things in the beginning so God couldn't have been talking to them but those involved which was His Word and His Spirit.

God bless.
