Let Us Create Man In Our Own Image, Who Was God Referring To? by WipKnot(op): 9:23am On Jul 11, 2023*

Now this is for those who seek the truth about the WORD of God, and not in any way to argue with JW.

The scripture has already written about JW in
2 Timothy 3:5-7 King James Version
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth

Now back to topic
The Holy Bible says, God is not a man that he should lie.

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.”

Genesis 1:27
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

God said let US create man in our image,
and God created man in HIS own image.

Does it mean Gód has cheated the others. Impossibility

In Exodus 3:14 - And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM

In John 8:58 Jesus said, Before Abraham was, I AM.

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has claimed equality with God Almighty.

Why, because, Jesus Christ is God Almighty.

You asked a thought provoking question but at the same time decided to exclude the one and only group who are interested in what you are asking.

Well i am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses let's see how you get answers from those who have nothing to do with scriptural truth but their selfish cravings!

The conversation started in verse 24...

God was talking to the earth.
After God has commanded her to bring forth vegetation and animals of various types...

God now proceeded to create man.

The earth provided the dust/mud, God used in creating the body...and God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life....

And man came to life or became conscious...

There fore the us is referring to God the father and God the mother(earth)

In any way, you need two parents to creat a human, one adult male and one adult female...
Male providing the seed or the sperm while the woman providing the body or the eggs...

And the creating takes place inside of the woman.

Na so I no believe Bible.

Allah says in the Qur'an: And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You." He (Allah) said: "I know that which you do not know."

It is most important to bring to bear the whole verse so men would not be led astray by diversionary tactics.

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.”

Genesis 1:27
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

Genesis 1:26-27, These vital facts stands out: God the Creator is a "HE",a single Being.

@ Genesis 1:26-27,God the Creator speaks to another being.
Did your own Bible say that other being is God the Creator?

No!

God is one Single Being speaking to another being (Hebrews 1:2 revealed is the Son, Jesus Christ.
"God made the Universe through His son."

Consider this example:
When your Father tells you his son, "Let us build a house to our tastes,is your Father saying you are his equal?

Who gives instructions as to what to build & it's specifications?
God his Father,Ofcourse, Matthew 19:4-5.
According to Jesus Christ (Matthew 19:4-5), who is the "HE" @ Genesis 1:26-27?

The answer to this question is very simple, let us create man in our own image God the father was referring to himself, the son(jesus) and the holy spirit.

Let me explain pay attention.

1) In the beginning there was God and the holy spirit ( the spirit of God moved over the waters).

2) Then in Colossians Paul wrote : For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. he was referring to jesus here if you read above verses.

Knowing this it means God the father was there in creating with the son Jesus and the holy spirit the three of them makes on God hence it says let us make man in our own image

Why should a believer reference you for the truth about God's word.

The New World Bible Translation Committee stated: “While inclining to view the pronunciation ‘Yah·wehʹ” as the more correct way, we have retained the form ‘Jehovah’ because of people’s familiarity with it since the 14th century.

To cap it, the reason they continue to use "Jehovah" instead of the correct spelling Yahweh, is to be pleasing to man, not God.

"Let us create man",
Yahweh the God spoke that statement to his son, Jesus Christ.
Hebrew 1:2, confirmed that.

Yahweh the Father gave you the understanding of Genesis 1:26-27 @ Hebrew 1:2 ,Matthew 19:4-6.

After all, Jesus Christ his Son taught you @ Matthew 19:4-6, that the God (his Father) the Creator is a "HE" not "US".
The same fact & Bible truth Jesus confirmed in Matthew 19:4-6
was confirmed by Genesis 1:26-27 & Hebrews 1:2.

Job 38:1-7, The God (his Father) testified to the truth of Genesis 1:26-27 , Matthew 19:4-6 & Hebrews 1:2.
(By the way, God the "Father" meaning God the "Senior".
This is further proof that your 3 equal persons triune formula nah wash !!!)

Trinitarians DON'T believe in Genesis 1:26-27, Hebrews 1:2 , Matthew 19:4-6 & Job 38:1-7, the truth revealed by the holy scriptures explaining holy scriptures.

From Genesis to Revelation, we know Jesus Christ saw the creation of man, did Jesus at anytime, any where teach that GIBBERISH Christendom crafted to DECEIVE all of you?
No !!

■ Now this is for those who seek the truth about the WORD of God, and not in any way to argue with JW. The scripture has already written about JW in
2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. .....

What Paul who made clear that Jesus Christ is the one who he takes his marching orders from, actually connects back to what Jesus Christ Himself taught in the context of Matthew 15 vs 1 - 10 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13. And this teaching is against Religion in its entirety, not just subsets of Religion.

5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the (doctrines and)traditions of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?”
6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’
8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human (doctrines and) traditions.”
9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own (doctrines and)traditions!
10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’[d] and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[e]
11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)—
12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother.
13 Thus you nullify the word(POWER) of God by your (doctrines and) traditions that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” - Mark 7 vs 5 - 13

As you can see from verse 13 in the above passage, it is through the adoption of the doctrines and traditions of men— lies— that you not only deny the power of God but you also have what amounts to vain/worthless kind of godliness. So long as you hold on to religion — Christianity included— you cannot partake of God and the blessings and rewards of His Kingdom. undecided

This is Correct!

Your confusion is simply because, He Who is called Jesus, is The Lord God in Genesis 2 and The Same One Who is God over us, hence the word "Our God".

Which is why the seas and trees and death obeyed Him.

Genesis 1, is His Father giving the command and confirming that the things created were in order.
