Title: One of US?
Post by: Paul on September 19, 2008, 06:10:03 AM
Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... (Gen 1:26)

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil... (Gen 3:22)


Who's God referring to?

  I always assumed it was Wisdom  aka ,  Jesus Christ ?with God

   being THE Holy Spirit  

BEING the both of them [some say 3 ?}
  in proverbs  8 
and Pauls revelation 
are where I am getting my Info from 

I WILL JUST PUT THIS UP from 20  but if you read all of it its better To explain it    thanks !
  God bless and peace  rose  
   and what Paul states i will put  at the bottom  :bigGrin:



  20 I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;

21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.

22 Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.

25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;

26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

27 When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,

28 When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,

29 When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

30 Then I was by him, as a master workman; And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him,

31 Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.

32 Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.

33 Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not.

34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, And shall obtain favor of Jehovah.

36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.

sounds like Jesus Christ  dont it ? hidden though in proverbs  they testify of  Jesus  Christ  beforehand ..
   now Paul reveals this mystery to us   here ...

But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1Cr 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

  Hi Bro G , 
I was a little hesitant   to speak up about  this cause of the 

   trinity thing , its a  subject    thats  not  up for debate 
and I did not want to  disobey the rules

poor Paul   , I must apologize   to him  for  stumping/stoping  his thread  lol ...
  thanks though ! :Sparkletooth:   peace  in Christ  ..........rose

The interesting thing is that the name for God in genesis 1 is a plural noun "Gods" but the verb is singular. It is as if to say God is a multitude of beings but always acts as one. I am a former Trinitarian who now defines himself as a unitarian/infinitarian. .
