Chuck Norris took over.

Answer 2

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Answer 3

i might want to assert that God the daddy is chatting with the Holy Ghost and the Son considering that no longer some thing except God can create. that's my Christian take on the concern. I unquestionably do not recognize what Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses imagine. Edit: Kerry sturdy aspect on John a million:a million because it teach Jesus obviously modern on the time of advent, yet you rather could end John a million:a million... and the note became God.

Answer 4

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit- the trinity. God is three in one.

Answer 5

Genesis 1:26, "And God said, "Let us make man in our image ."

This is one of the first appearanced of the "Trinity". God in three forms. All through scripture you will find conversations between God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This is one of them.

God says he will make man "in his image", and the creates man in three parts also. Genesis 2:7 says God formed a 1)body from the elements of the earth, breathed into it his own 2)spirit, and it became a living 3)soul. Three different "parts" than make a single person - just like God. Yet each is just as much "man" as any of the others.

The three parts touch different realms. The body touches the physical world. The soul control the mind, will and emotions of the mental realm. And the spirit communicates with God in the heavenly realm.

So you have God also appearing in all three realms. God the Father dwells in the heavenly. God the Son, Jesus, appeared in the physical. God the Holy Spirit dwells in the hearts of men. Each is just as much "God" as any of the others, just in different realms.

So in Genesis 1:26, God the Father was speaking with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. And then proceed to create man in his image as a three-fold being.

Answer 6

This is a reference to the Holy Trinity.

"It was not angels, therefore, who made us nor who formed us, neither had angels power to make an image of God, nor anyone else. . . . For God did not stand in need of these in order to accomplish what he had himself determined with himself beforehand should be done, as if he did not possess his own hands. For with him [the Father] were always present the Word and Wisdom, the Son and the Spirit, by whom and in whom, freely and spontaneously, he made all things, to whom also he speaks, saying, ‘Let us make man in our image and likeness’ [Gen. 1:26]"
-- Irenaeus (Against Heresies 4:20:1 [A.D. 189] )

Answer 7

Your translation is correct,in Genesis 26 God speaks and says `Let us make Man in our image and likeness,so this is possibly the very first reference to the Trinity itself.

Answer 8

In the English, "God" is translated from the Hebrew "Elohim"
(or, Eloyhim).
As a noun, it has the properties of a collective noun.
(Like a "team" is made up of multiple persons, but the word itself is singular.)
Elohim has the same plural connotation.
This is the first clue given in scriptures that point to the Triune nature of God, hence, evidence of the Trinity in Genesis.

Answer 9

That's why Jesus is called God's firstborn. God created JC first (as an angel in heaven) and through Jesus all other creation was made. Kind of like, after that, God was the designer and JC helped with the construction.
Collossians 1:15-17.

Answer 10

No. God exists in perfect unity as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is the 'We'.

People will say that the use of 'we' here (used almost universally as God's personal referent in the Koran) is the imperial we. But the question remains, "Do we have the 'imperial we' because we got it from the Bible?"

Answer 11

God was talking to His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ.—Col. 1:15-17; Prov. 8:30, 31.
