God is a Family \n        The Hebrew word used in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created..." is "Elohim." Elohim is a plural. The "im" ending connotes MORE than one-a duality of Persons in the Godhead. \n        Notice! "And 'Elohim' [God] said, 'Let us make man in our image...'" He did not say, "I will make man in my image"-but, "Let us," MORE THAN ONE-"make man in OUR image." \n        You know now that Jesus Christ of the New Testament is the Person or the Godhead who DID THE CREATING! (John 1:3, 10). The member of the Family of God who wrote the Ten Commandments with His own finger; who parted the Red Sea; who wrestled with Jacob; who spoke to Abraham-that Person was one of the Divine Beings called, in the Hebrew tongue, Elohim. He became HUMAN; changed from Spirit to flesh, born of a virgin, and came among us as Jesus Christ of Nazareth-a human, to become the Author of our salvation; our redeemer from sin and Satan-the firstborn from the dead. \n        He revealed to us that He had a FATHER in heaven! \n        He said, "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him" (John 1:18). \n        Jesus said, "I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me..." (John 8:18). He enraged the Jews when He proclaimed, "Verily, Verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I AM!" (John 8:58). \n        The Jews knew by heart what God had said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM; and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel; I AM hath sent me unto you!" (Exodus 3:14). \n        To them, this was BLASPHEMY! They "took up stones to cast at Him" when He made that statement! They later accused Him of "making Himself EQUAL WITH GOD!" \n        And WHO WAS Christ? \n        He WAS THE CREATOR-come in HUMAN FLESH! He was the executive member of the Elohim (GOD) who did the commanding; who "Spoke, and there was light," Truly, before Abraham was ever thought of-HE EXISTED! \n        He reveals to us that there is a divine FAMILY of beings; \n        which HE chooses to call the "Father," and the "Son." \n        He says we can be "begotten by His Holy Spirit, and become "children" of God! We are then "brothers and sisters'' in Christ. \n        The church, which nourishes and protects us, is likened to our "mother." When we are resurrected, or when we are instantaneously changed, "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump..." at the second coming of Christ, then we are BORN OF GOD! Yes BORN into our new, spiritual, divine FAMILY! \n        We are then "JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST!" \n        And what did Christ "INHERIT?" \n        ALL THINGS! \n        Now do you see? \n        Your great human potential-your divinely-appointed human destiny-YOUR PERSONAL FUTURE is to become a MEMBER OF GOD'S OWN DIVINE, SPIRIT FAMILY! \n        YOU are to become a MEMBER of the FAMILY (KINGDOM) OF GOD! \n        Paul said, "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" (I Corinthians 6:3). \n        Yes, those who are resurrected in the first resurrection (Revelation 20:5) are to share RULERSHIP OF THE WORLD with Christ for the first one thousand years (Revelation 2:26, Revelation 20:4), and are to be like "pillars in the temple of God" (Revelation 3:12) living, ruling, reigning with God the Father and with Jesus Christ His Son FOR ALL ETERNITY! \n        God says the time will come-after the millennium-AFTER the great judgment of the "rest of the dead" (Revelation 20:5, 11:15) that He, God the Father, will come down to THIS EARTH-and ".... the throne of God and of the Lamb [Christ] shall be in it..." (Revelation 22:3), and then Christ says, God will&qu

In the Bible it says "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another:  and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."  \n\nsorry, I misquoted the first time

In Genesis 1:26, God said, "let us make people in our image..."\n\nMan didn't create God by writing the bible.  The bible was litterally God-breathed, or inspired by God.

And who might "us" be?

According to the Bible the first man was Adam. In Hebrew the word for man sounds like and may be related to the Hebrew word for ground.

I read the Bible from a literal point of veiw. By this I mean that the Bible contains a large number of Literary styles, and each portion needs to be read in accordance with the literary (literal) style in which it is written. I do believe that the Bible is the inspired communication from the living God to mankind.\n\nI agree with the previous poster who stated that the "Us" in Gen. 1:26 is a reference to the Triune nature of God. This is further supported by the references to the Father (as the directive member), the Spirit (which 'moved on the waters') and the Son (as the Spoken Word of the Father). \n\nFurther along, in chapter two (a detailed account of the creative activy of God on day six, not a separate creation account as some would claim), man is refered to as a single creation, both male and female, in the image of God. The theme there being that neither man nor woman (without each other) express the image of God, but that together (as the two are 'one flesh' in marriage) they demonstrate the nature of the Triune Godhead.

'God made man in His own image,\nIn His own image he made him.'\n    There is evil in us, so there is evil in His image. So, Evil is not separated from God. It is in Him/Her only, otherwise as per Bible, we, His image should not have these VICES.

That is the sentence...Jesus was making a point about his diety. God was often refered to as I am... When moses was sent to free gods people he was told to tell pharoh i am said to let my people go. He was also letting the people know that he was around many years before he was born a man.

The image of God refers to the immaterial part of man. It sets man apart from the animal world, fits him for the “dominion” God intended (Genesis 1:28), and enables him to commune with his Maker. It is a likeness mentally, morally, and socially

I'm not sure where it is in the Bible but it says that God planned everyone's birth. He knew about us before we were conceived. I think we are created right when we are concieved but God planned it out first.

MANKIND ADAM\n\nWe all have read about Cain and Abel (Gen.4:8-17)\nHow Cain slew Abel, and God cursed Cain and drove him out.\nThen Cain said (Gen.4:14) “that every one that findeth me shall slay me”\nWho is Cain worried about?\nThen in (Gen.4:17) And Cain knew his wife\nWhere did Cain find a wife?\n\nThe answer is in the Hebrew text (Gen.1:26 and Gen.2:7).\n\nGen.1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, \nafter our likeness: ….\nThe word “man” (Gen.1:26) \nin Hebrew text looks like this ( אדם ) \nwith no article means “MANKIND”\nThe word “man” (Gen.1:26) transliterated is (adam).\n\nGen.2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, ….\nThe word “man” (Gen.2:7) \nin Hebrew text looks like this ( את־האדם ) \nwith article and particle means “THIS SAME MAN ADAM”.\nThe word “man” (Gen.2:7) transliterated is (eth-Ha adham).\n\n\nSo on the sixth day God created or made MANKIND.\n\nOn the eighth day God formed THIS SAME MAN ADAM.
