In Genesis 1:26, God refers to Himself as \u201cus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThen God said, \u201cLet us make man in our image, in our likeness, . . .\u201d\nGe 1:26<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This passage has been considered an unsolvable mystery to those who believe in God. Many people have known God in the singular form for a long time, so it is difficult to understand the word \u201cus.\u201d As a result, some insist that \u201cus\u201d in the book of Genesis refers to the Trinity<\/a>\u2014the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; however, \u201cus\u201d in the book of Genesis cannot refer to the Trinity.<\/p>\n

The Reason \u201cUs\u201d in the Book of Genesis Is Not the Trinity<\/h2>\n

Humankind was created in the image and likeness of God. If we interpret \u201cus\u201d in the book of Genesis as the Trinity, we come to misunderstand God\u2019s will.<\/p>\n

\nSo God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.\nGe 1:27<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

God made male and female in the image of God. Because the male and female images exist, this means that God\u2019s original image must be male and female. If \u201cus\u201d in Genesis 1 refers to the Trinity, either the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit must have a female image; however, nowhere in the Bible can we find that the Trinity is described as a female.<\/p>\n

In addition, if humankind was created in the image of the Trinity, there must be three images; however, the Bible tells us that there were only two images: male and female.<\/p>\n

The Trinity Means Three in One<\/h2>\n

According to the Bible, the Trinity means God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one and the same God. Because of this, the Trinity can never be described in the plural. Through many verses, the Bible testifies that the Trinity is one. The Old Testament testifies that Jesus is God (Jn 5:39). It prophesied that Jesus, who would be born as a child, was Jehovah God.<\/p>\n

\nFor to us a child [Jesus] is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, . . . Isa 9:6<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this verse, the \u201cchild\u201d refers to Jesus who came as a man; however, God the Father mentioned in the Old Testament is Jehovah. Because the Son Jesus is called Father, it shows that Jesus and Jehovah are one.<\/p>\n

The Son and the Holy Spirit are also one entity. \u201cThe Lamb and the bride (the wife of the Lamb)\u201d in Revelation 19 is expressed as the \u201cSpirit and the bride\u201d in Revelation 22.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFor the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.\u201d\nRev 19:7<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nThe Spirit and the bride say, \u201cCome!\u201d\nRev 22:17<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here, the Lamb refers to Jesus (Jn 1:29). Comparing the two verses, we can see that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one and the same.<\/p>\n

As we can understand from the word Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are one and the same. In other words, God the Father plays the role of the Son and the Holy Spirit according to each age. At the time of the creation of the world, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit did not exist separately. Instead, the Trinity existed as one entity. If God the Father was alone, He would not have said \u201cus.\u201d This shows that there is more than one God.<\/p>\n

\u201cUs\u201d Refers to God the Father and God the Mother<\/h2>\n

If \u201cus\u201d does not refer to the Trinity, who exactly does \u201cus\u201d refer to? We can find the answer by looking at male and female who were created in the image of God. Men testify to the existence of the male image of God and women testify to the existence of the female image of God. The Bible tells us that the male image of God is our Father.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis, then, is how you should pray: \u2018Our Father in heaven, . . .\u2019 \u201d\nMt 6:9<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If the male image of God is our Father, who is the female image of God? She is our \u201cMother.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBut the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.\nGal 4:26<\/small>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \u201cus\u201d in Genesis 1:26 does not refer to the Trinity, but God the Father and God the Mother. If we think that there is only God the Father, the \u201cus\u201d in the book of Genesis will remain an unsolvable mystery. When we remove our traditional thoughts about the Bible, we can correctly understand God who said \u201cus\u201d and \u201cour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Genesis 1:26, God refers to Himself as \u201cus.\u201d Then God said, \u201cLet us make man in our image, in our likeness, . . .\u201d Ge 1:26 This passage has been considered an unsolvable mystery to those who believe in God.
