Genesis 1:26 Who is us?
Genesis 1:26 Who is us?
JW's will usually tell you this is God via Jesus. Their theory is that after Jesus was created, Jesus created all other things, thereby implying Jesus was a thing (i.e. that Jesus is a created being).
The Father alone?What rules this out? Cannot be since "us" implies more than one (by definition).
Jesus alone?What rules this out? Cannot be since "us" implies more than one (again by definition).
The Father, Jesus, and the angels?What rules this out? Plural of majesty ruled out by context, since man was made in God's own (v27) image and not the angels image.
The Father and Jesus?Yes, partially true
None of the above?
Yes, so "us" was the Trinity (the one God).
In Isaiah 44:24 God said He did it all alone. They have a contradiction between Genesis 1:26 and Isaiah 44:24 unless the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the one God or else God is a liar and neither of these verses can be believed. If a contractor says I built that house he can mean that he let the subtrades or workers do it for him, however if a contractor says he built the house by himself and all alone, then this argument does NOT apply (by definition).
