Bible Students and memorisers: It has come to my attention that the first written Bibles on Earth, in any language, included the phrase "Let us create man in our image, and after our likeness". Note the use of the words "us" and "our", rather than the use of the word God as a proper name, such as if God were an individual being. Do you believe there to be any truth to this claim?
Regardless of your answer to the previous question, is it possible the translation of The Bible was altered to suit the desired agenda of the Church that interpreted it, whether it be Catholic, Christian, Jewish, Mormon, or whatever?
Did the Bible's of your faith have their translation changed in the abovementioned phrase, to the use of the name of God, or words that imply God to be a solitary individual? Do you believe the new translation to be more accurate, or less accurate, than the use of the words "us" and "our"?
