The Trinity

Yeah it really makes the thought of a picture better than words thing true... Or a picture being worth 1000 words.
 
Because of the three Persons of the Trinity, we can now understand why God uses the word "Us" in the following verses.

Adam had sinned. THE LORD SAID, BEHOLD, THE MAN IS BECOME AS ONE OF US (plural)-Gen 3:22. The "Us" is referring to more than one—the Trinity.

AND GOD SAID, LET US (more than one) MAKE MAN IN OUR (plural) IMAGE, AFTER OUR (plural) LIKENESS-Gen 1:26. The "us" is referring to more than one, the Trinity.

There are many other Scriptures that also show two or three Persons of the Trinity. Some of them are listed here. Job 26:13; 27:3; 33:4; 1 Cor 12:4-6; Ps 2:2,7,12; Isa 63:6-16; Ps 51:1; Zech 7:12.
 
Dusty, i recall from the strongs .. with the Genesis verses . that the only word in the sentence that creates the word "us" and "our" is that it is implied by the word Elohiym, (by translators considered "plural intensive" .. translated as "God" a lot) many of the words in the creation discourse that appear in the english were not in the original but implied . it is so simply spoken almost reads like a computer programming language declaring all the variables .

it's kinda cool . but remember if someone challenges you on the basis of what the hebrew says it may be a little shaky to explain because the word "us" or "our" does not explicitly appear in the passage . but it is most definitely implied . trinity is one of my fav topics .

Yeah, very true. The trinity can be really complicated sometimes. Sometimes instead of thinking so hard, we need to just step back and say "What's up with that!" (hehe got that from somewhere here) Sometimes we need to relax and it's simpler than we make it out to be. I know that it took me a good while to figure the trinity out myself. Everytime I would read the bible and it speak on Jesus, then God I would always get confused. Who is king? Jesus or God I always thought. And if Jesus is God then why would He pray to Himself? It really confused me.
