When God says "Let US make man in OUR image" who's the "US"?

In the original Hebrew there are three different names used for God. There is YHVH (aka the unpronounceable name), Elohim and Adonoy. What's referred to in Genesis 1:26 is Elohim, because it was Elohim who created the world. \n\nNow, the thing to know about Elohim is that it has a plural suffix "im," but it's treated as a singular masculine noun in the Hebrew. Etymologically it appears plural, but grammatically it's treated as a singular. This is highly confusing to say the least.\n\nHowever, in bypassing the paradoxical plurality of God, some scholars have interpreted this particular phrase to mean that God was speaking to the entirety of creation, the US then being all the things that God had to that point brought into creation. Thus, Man is in the image of not just God but of all of creation, the microcosmos.

we were made in his image  (Genesis 2:27), that's why we are human, that's how we were created in god's image.  As for the meaning of life your guess is as good as mine.  Though I can say to honor and praise the Lord God here on earth before we join him in heaven?\nWe should function as good Christan's, that don't judge and ridicule people.  And strengthen everyones faith in him.  Though Christians at least have gotten caught up in society and sin in this day and age.

We are all sons of God (and Daughters). We have the same right as Jesus to say "I am a son of God".

I believe God wants us to know specifically who he is and how to get to him.  Therefore, he provides us Scriptures. I just can't believe we can make up a god of our own imagining and have it be the right one. Only one can be right, otherwise he would be contradicting himself.

Yes. That scripture you quoted tells alot. In Genesis, God said, Let US make man in OUR image, in OUR likeness.  Also, refer to I John 5 : 7:   For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

our creator is the one and only God. he gave us free will because he loves us. the devil tricks us into committing sins, we are not forced.

god is neither a man or a woman but an entity many ppl get this confused by a bible passage that says god made man in his image but that by no means translates to god has a penis or a vagina

God is not a man or woman. We only have 6 senses, and visually we need to give god a picture.

Both. God made man, man forgot God, man uses God as a convenient excuse for his desires/actions.

Not only our country; but, the entire world!!!\n\nGal 1:4  Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: \n\nJoh 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

The Bible suggests that humans are theomorphic, in the image of God.  But I think that men wrote this who had an anthropomorphic conception of God.  I think God is beyond any form like that.  Certainly he is not limited to some physical form.  For our benefit, God takes forms so that we can grasp some idea of what he is like.

Jehovah is what you're going for.\n\nAs for the trinity, what do you make of Genesis 1:26-27?\n\n26Then God said, “Let US make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27So God created man in HIS own image; in the image of God HE created him; male and female HE created them.
