Let us make man in "our" image.
Ge 1:26 God said :Let us make man in our image in our likeness
Why does the bible describe God as us? We can know the reason when see what man, created in God's image,look like
Ge 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God ,he created him: male, and female he created them.
Man was made in the image of god, and male and female were creatde this iss proof that there are two God's the male image of God and the female image of God
Bible testify that God as plural.Though God's image we were created.
