“We Makes Three”

Friday, September 21, 2012

I am taking a course at my local college entitled "Intro to the Bible as Literature".  In Genesis 1:26, I noted that the phrase had ‘us’ and ‘our’; who is ‘us’ and ‘our’?

Sincerely,
Plural Power

Dear Plural Power,

The reason that the pronouns ‘us’ and ‘our’ are used is because all three of the Godhead were there at the creation.  The Father was there (Isa 45:18).  Jesus was also there (Jhn 1:1-3).  The Holy Spirit was also there (Gen 1:2).  All three of them took part in the decision to create man in Their image.
