"Man in Our Image" a Theory

Ray Powers
Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

Here is a question I pose to any believer: Who was God aligning Himself with when He said Our? Think about it.

My scripture is rusty, due to the procrastination of picking up my Bible again. However, is it insane to believe that He was speaking with Yeshua (the One commonly referred to as Jesus(Yeshua is the original Hebrew pronunciation))? Many biblical scholars believe that He was speaking with the Godhead (three in one but actually just one but actually three? I don't know but I'm not sure about the idea of a multiple personality God).
However, me debating this is like a mouse trying to fight an elephant. It just isn't going to work out for me. So, I won't try to debate the trinity. My opinion shall still be voiced (err, typed) within this text. If God was speaking with Yeshua, it would make sense. In that God and His Son were present together at the beginning of everything. Not simply in a Godhead, but more like two God-like beings, one being the Father of the other. When Yeshua kneels to pray to God, how could He be praying to Himself? Why would He pray to Himself? You have to see these Two as two completely seperate beings. The complete relationship still cannot be explained through this analysis but it brings us closer to making sense.

Someone might call this as blasphemy or simply wrong. It is my God-given right to speak my thoughts, especially on such a touchy subject. There is no such thing as too much knowledge or too many theories when they are all striving for truth. Weather God is one being or two beings in the same or two seperate beings or three beings in the same, we can't rightfully know unless He actually tells us. Which, I do believe, is not impossible.

Those who strive that to say that God and Yeshua are both One and only One. Simply without a trinity, and only one God to put it simply. They often argue that God was speaking with the Angels when He made the statement, "In Our image" but let me ask this: What position did the angels take up in the part of creation? I don't believe they would sudenly be entered in as unseen characters in this verse and then just disappear out of the story for some time. God had to be speaking with Someone who is equal in knowledge with Him (not to take any glory away from God). That Someone would, in all logic, have to be Yeshua, His Son.

Some may say that Yeshua was not even created before He was birthed from the virgin Mary. I would beg to differ in that matter. I cannot recall exact scriptures, but I do believe that Yeshua was mentioned and even spoke to the prophets of the Old Testament. That is, in fact, where Christ was prophesied of so many times. The books of the prophets reveal many things, I regret not having read them for some time. Soon I'll be reading through them and coming up with my own interpretations. Perhaps new interpretations of things that had not yet even been revealed to me. Who knows?
