If the Quran is the word of god, why does god use different personalities when refering to himself:
1- In some locations [19:67, 19:83, 20:134 ], god refers to himself with the word "WE".
2- In some other locations [3:195, 8:9, 8:12, 20:14,...], god refers to himself with the word "I".
3- In other locations [2:29, 2:37, 2:255, 22:16,...], he refers to himself with the word "HE". He even flatters himself when he says "so bless god the best creator" [23:14].
This confusion in using pronouns led to confusing the reader in many locations in the Quran, especially when god speaks to someone (e.g., the devil) where you find the Quran refers to both of them with the pronoun "HE".
Is there any reason for this confusion in using pronouns?
(P.S. I am talking about the Quran in its ORIGINAL ARABIC version).
