That's the Christian bible not the Jewish one.Genesis 1:26
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
Is the monotheistic Christian God admitting that there is at least one other god?
Or are humans genetically engineered by aliens who are our God?
WHAT IS THE ANSWER?!?!?
God the Father God the Son God the Holy Ghost...
Duh!
Elohim is singular.

You're going to have to do better than a flat statement, given that -im is the usual designation for the plural in Hebrew.

nachmanides does say that there is a plural aspect to the word because it means "that which is above all other forces" - the plural refers to the other forces.
not only is -im not always plural, but the word elohim is used elsewhere in the text as a singularin 2 ways
1. it is used to refer to god as singular (as evidenced by the verb that matches with it)
2. in ex 4:16 it is used to refer to moses. moses was a singular person so making him into a leader wouldn't be "leaders" would it? same with ex 7:1.

Thank you, that's an explanation, not just a statement. Rep your way.

Answer me this. Why is the whole second half of Ezekiel about building a device (transport) for God to get around in? The God I worship doesn't need transportation.
