From Genesis 1:2 to 25, God said "let there" be light, etc. But in verse 26, he said "let us" make man in our own image.

Do you know the second person when he said "us" ?

I don't really think you're right.

First he said "let us" make man in "our own image". Does the other host of heaven have the image of God? Do angels have the image of God? What about the elders? The living creatures? I don't think they have the image of God. The fact that man was made in the image of God is the reason why redemption for man(after the fall) was something that must happen. If angels were made in the image of God, God would have also been interested in their redemption after their fall.

I'm not sure, but I think God was talking to God the son and God the holyspirit.

The book of Genesis was originally written by the Sumerians. "Let there be light" was added by the editors of the Bible.It had nothing to do with a god. The Sumerians recognized the Sun as the light of the world. The Sun came to rescue life on the planet according to them.

"Let us make man in our image" was a conversation between biological beings who visited the planet to mine gold. They were called the Giants,The Elohim,"sons of god". El is singular god,Elohim is plural in Aramaic. The Sumerians called them The Anunnaki(those who from heaven come)

This is why it is obvious there is no god. The Bible is an Aurthur of confusion.

"let us" is a strong phrase that would probably have referred to two or three persons in this context. I am sure the angels were not a part of the creation. Also nothing like God the son, God the holy spirits, its precisely God the father,the son and the holy spirit. The power Lucifer possesses makes me think he was beside God during creation.
Re: In Genesis 1: 26, God Was Talking To Someone, Do You Know The Person ? by Molanet(m): 2:18pm On Mar 03, 2016
Yes u are correct but i mean the hosts of heaven were all present but they av no say in the matter of GOD's decision cos GOD was actually talking to His son which later came to life and said HE was in the beginning and in his presence the word was created. However it was this that brought abt the HOLY TRINITY.

you need to explain " the image of God for a better understand".

not sure, but I dnt think there is redemption for any perfect being. If there is , can you give an example? that's why I dnt thing God will redeem any angel, cus they where perfect and know the full implication of their choices.
never read God the son and God the holy spirit, are you saying there are 3 God's talking to each other.

Smh they spend time questioning "let us" when He had in mind a superior plan of "image of God"...ye are gods that receive the word which was with God and by Him, ye are gods were made...resting as a new creature which is "image of God"

Gen 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.




I believe God was talking to the Word who became the Lord Jesus Christ.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.



Pro 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Pro 8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Pro 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Pro 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
Pro 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Pro 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Pro 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
Pro 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Pro 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

JMAN05:

He was talking to the Holy Ghost because there was no Son as yet. He was still the Word in the bossom of the father. There was no Jesus there according to the bible.

The Father spoke The Word, "let there be light" and The Spirit brought The Word to pass. That is how creation came into being.
