Was God speaking to Jesus in the Book Of Genesis when he said?

Question

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.
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 (KJV)
Who was GOD Speakig to when he said *LET US*

Answer 1

God was speaking to Himself as a Trinity. If you really want to know, read this?
Trinity
The word "Trinity" is not in The Holy Bible, The closest thing you can come to the word "Trinity" is the word "godhead" which means that God is a divine deity and a plural personality; God, the Father, God, the Son, Jesus Christ, and God, the Holy Spirit. Each of the three have their own respective roles to play. God the Father, the first person of the "Trinity," is the director and tells Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit what to do. Jesus Christ, the second person of the "Trinity," tells the Holy Spirit what to do. Although the Holy Spirit is equally God with God, the Father and God. the son, Jesus Christ, He carries out their will. These are all equally God but are also three distinct personalities that have their own jobs to do.

The Trinity in the Old Testament of The Holy Bible:

God revealed Himself at least three times as a plural personality God in the Old Testament of The Holy Bible. Genesis 1:26A "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." Isaiah 6:8 "8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me." and Isaiah 48:16 "16Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me."
Note:
"...there am I..." and "...me..." is Jesus Christ, the Son. "...the Lord GOD ..." is God, the Father. "...his Spirit,..." is God, the Holy Spirit.
We have thus proven that God identified Himself as a "Trinity" in the Old Testament of The Holy Bible.
God, the Father, Jesus Christ, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament of The Holy Bible but the Jews did not emphasize God as a Trinity. God was known as Jehovah God. According to Clarence Larkin in his book, Dispensational Truth, 1920, page 47, Published by Larkin's estate, God went by seven “Jehovah God” names:

“1. JEHOVAH-JIRESH-”The Lord will provide.” Genesis 22:13-14 That is, provide a sacrifice. 2. JEHOVAH-RAPHA-”The Lord that healeth.” Exodus 15:26. 3. JEHOVAH-NISSI-“The Lord our Banner.” Exodus 17:8-15. 4. JEHOVAH-SHALOM-”The Lord our peace.” Judges 6:23-24. 5. JEHOVAH-RA-AH-”The Lord my Shepherd.” Psalms 23. 6. JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU-”The lord our righteousness.” Jeremiah 3:6. 7. JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH-“The Lord is present.” Exodus 48:35. It is only as we know the meaning of the different titles of God that we can understand their significance. The word for Christ as “Creator” is “ELOHIM,” for Christ as “revealer and Redeemer” is JEHOVAH (translated Lord).”

Trinity in the New Testament of The Holy Bible:

In the New Testament of The Holy Bible Jehovah God is more completely revealed to be a "Trinity"-God, the Father, God, the Son (Jesus Christ), and God, the Holy Spirit. Today Christians worship Jehovah God in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. (Most Jews still worship God as Jehovah God.) Jesus Christ, Jehovah God in the Old Testament, came to the Jews as their Messiah during New Testament times but most of them rejected Him. Christians know that Jesus Christ is the only true and living God. Christians know that the word “Lord” for Jesus Christ means Jehovah God.
The first time "Trinity" was mentioned in the New Teatament is in Matthew 3:16-17. "16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
Note:
Here, "...a voice from heaven..." is none other than God, the Father.
Matthew mentions the "Trinity" again in Matthew 28:18-20.
"18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Note:
"...the Holy Ghost..." is none other than the Holy Spirit.
The "Trinity" is mentioned in I Corinthians 12:4-6.
"4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all."
Note:
"...Lord." is none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. "...God..." is none other than God, the Father.
The "Trinity "is mentiuoned in II Corinthians 13:14.
"14The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen."
Note:
"...God..." is none other than God, the Father.
We have thus proven that according to the New Testament of The Holy Bible, God is indeed a "Trinity."
Jesus Christ, the second person of the "Trinity" is the only true and living God! The God of The Holy Bible is the only true and living God. There are no other true and living gods available to mankind.
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me.”
Jesus Christ Christ is the only way to God the Father and to heaven. There is no other way to get to heaven. There is no other true and living God available to take anyone to heaven when they die.
All other so-called gods are false gods. They are not real . They do not exist. They are actually Satan or his demons disguised as gods. From the beginning Satan wanted to be as God. In order to to capture the souls/spirits of the masses he now does the best he can to be God by being a false god to as many as he can be by appearing to be a god in different forms to different groups of people. Satan counterfeits gods, religions, and faith in them. They appear to be the genuine articles but they are false. They are phony. They are bogus. The more false gods he can create the more souls/spirits he can capture for himself and take them to hell to be with him forever in eternity. All false religions who worship false gods were created by Satan. Allah for the Muslims. Confucius for the Chinese. Buddha for the Buddhists. ETC.
Christians know Jesus Christ as the Son of God who was sent to earth by God, the Father to become a man to die for the sins of the whole world. Christians know Jesus Christ is the only true and living Lord God. (Romans 10:9-10 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus {that Jesus is Lord} and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believed unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”) Brackets mine. Christians know that the blood that Jesus Christ shed at Calvary is the only thing that can forgive, remove and cleanse them from all their sins. Christians know that they must repent of (turn from) their sins to Christ. (Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” and Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”) Christians know that they must ask Jesus Christ to come into their heart/lives to live there forever. (John l:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to come sons {children} of God, even to them that believe on his name.”) Brackets mine. Christians know they must give up their sins and live in obedience to Jesus Christ the rest of their lives. Christians know that when they die they will go to heaven to be with Jesus Christ forever. Christians know that all of this is a life lived by faith. Is all this true of you? Are you a Christian? If not, why not become one today.
The Holy Bible in Hebrews 11:6 says “But without faith it is impossible to please him (God); for he that cometh to God must believe (have faith) that he (God) is, and that he (God) is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (God).” Parentheses mine!
By faith, acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the only true and living God. By faith, acknowledge you are a sinner in need of the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers. By faith, turn from all your sins to Jesus Christ and ask Him to come into your heart/life to live there forever. By faith, give your heart/life to Jesus Christ to live for Him the rest of your life. All of this is what is meant when the Lord Jesus Christ said: “Jesus answered, and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (go to heaven).” Parenthesis mine. You were born physically into your earthly family. To go to heaven you must be born again spiritually into your heavenly family, God's spiritual family. Remember! Salvation is a free gift. You cannot work for it. You cannot be good enough to earn it. You must, by faith, receive it as a free gift. (“8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.”) Ephesians 2:8-9. If you never have, do it today. This is my prayer for you.

Answer 2

God was speaking to the heavenly court, the angels and what have you, not necessarily to any of His three persons. However, it is worth noting that at least two persons of the Trinity, the Father and the Holy Spirit, were active in the creation narrative of Genesis, as it reads, "...the Spirit of God swept over the the face of the waters" in Genesis 1:2. But, as for your question, it is clear that God is speaking to His heavenly court in that particular passage, but there is no indication that He is speaking to any part of the Trinity in that passage.

Answer 3

Archaeological evidence has shown that the Hebrew God YHVH originally had a female consort, the goddess Asherah. The acceptance of monotheism was a much latter development that did not exist in the earliest of Biblical times.

But the use of a plural could have any one of a dozen different meanings. Without asking the author of his intentions, any guess is just that, a guess.

Answer 4

Well, The verse when God said, “Let Us make man in Our image” Genesis 1:26.

To say that God and Jesus or 3 Persons (Trinity) are communicating but this "CANNOT" be verified because there are "Unlimitless" definitions of God. God is not just three, God is "innumerable."

Answer 5

Yes. Jesus helped God create everything else; Jesus was the only creation God made by himself.

Answer 6

Yes, it is the trinitarian God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. All had a part in the creation.

Answer 7

God the creator, was speaking to the angels, the Sons of God. In our image refers to spiritual life, after our likeness refers to the fact that our spirits unlike the spirits of the angels, we had no eternal life, knowledge, wisdom, or power
But God did give us power over the fish, birds, animals, and creepy things. God created us in His image first, then he made that image male and female (a house) which was emptied, swept and garnished.

Answer 8

Actually it is believed that God was talking to the angels, but it may have been Christ, because it is said, "in the beginning there was the Word".
So more than likely Christ, being omnipresent and God in the Trinity was there.
God bless and continue on your search for truth.

Answer 9

He was speaking to the entire Godhead. Himself, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Answer 10

Himself, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Answer 11

Possibly, the holy spirit, angels, Jesus (not in the flesh)...

yeah.
