My Lord, and My God

First off I'm glad that no ninjas were sicked on me. Nope...these parts are ninja-free.

Blind,

I believe I see where you are going with this. In answer to your question, I would say Mankind. (though man wasn't exactly created yet which is the whole point in this) So then I would say the Angels.

Eartohear,

I concur with you, that the angels must, (if man indeed does) also share similarities with the image of God. I make that assumption on two scripturally confirmable facts, (1) that man was created in God's image, and (2) angels are often mistaken for humanity when manifested before mankind (due to their

But, isn't that "Us" and "Our" mentioned in that verse referring to the Godhead, which is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit?

[BlindSeeker]

So are you saying that the angels helped God create the earth and man?

No. Right now I am not saying anything. I am simply establishing points for consideration. Later I will make a connection.

Peace.

Not jumping to conclusions I will agree with you thus far, Blind, and see where you take this. I am in agreement with you that angels could share the "likeness" of the Father, of God.

It is interesting the question you posed.

You connected the word "Godhead," to the Gen 1:26. It is and English word which was used to translate three Greek words in the following verses.

Can you tell me which of those Greek words means "a Trinity" or conveys the concept of a plurality of identities, deity, and/or deities?

• Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
  
  Ro 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
  
  Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
  
  
  
  • Ge 1:26 And God <'elohiym> said <'amar>, Let us make <`asah> man <'adam> in our image <tselem>, after our likeness <damuwth>: and let them have dominion <radah> over the fish <dagah> of the sea <yam>, and over the fowl <`owph> of the air <shamayim>, and over the cattle <bahemah>, and over all the earth <'erets>, and over every creeping thing <remes> that creepeth <ramas> upon the earth <'erets>.

. . . . . Perhaps it is very difficult or it was my fault in asking such a specific thing but how in regards to cristine's post may a verse like the one in Genesis be interpreted?

Eartohear,

First I would ask you, and all others, of all God's creators, which ones share His image?

(feeling safe to come out at 3:30 am since the very bad karate dudes are no where in sight . . . . I hope)

GOD'S WORD{JESUS-YESHUA-THE MESSIAH} IS THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF GOD THE FATHER---at least that's what {THE WORD} states--1/st.corin.11.vs.7---2/nd.corin.4.vs.4---col.1.vs.15---Heb.1.vs.3---

DON'T INTerpret "THE WORD} read it--look-it-up-in-Strong's--accept it--believe it------

Interesting.

Nobody has a comment for my last post?

Why?

[Guest shadow2b]

...Then I read James 2:19 where believing in one God is not enough. Does that satisfy the prerequisite of loving Him? I was asking myself. Even the NAME of God varies among different people. In my case, I was taught that God has three divine persons, each person is God, but one person is not the other two persons. I was contented with this identification of God. More so, I had the comfort of being in the majority on this belief...

...I read there is only ONE name of God (Zecharia 14:9)...

... I also read that the One making the covenant or "the TESTATOR had to die to fulfill His TESTAMENT" (Hebrew 9:16). I did not ask my religious leaders anymore how the God of the Old Testament, Who is a Spirit, could possibly fulfill His Testament....

...It was the FATHER, the one and only God, Who manifested Himself in the flesh! God fulfilling His Testament by death was getting clearer. That is that simple by divine revelation!!...

Anonymous Pam,

How so? Perhaps I was reading too much into cristine's post, or maybe didn't read enough into Shadow's...but these two seem conflicting to me. The yoke became the white of the egg?

E.T.H.------- I DID-NOT-SAY -the-WHITE {BECAME} the YOKE---Where did YOU get that idea????

NOT FROM MY POST!!!!!!---------PLEASE don't say I stated something When I didNOT---PLEASE go back & re-read my post------------ :il: ----{Gary}--
