Genesis 1 "Let Us"

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

What I find interesting is that God deliberated and dialogued at this point in creation.

I was listening to a speach, well more of a sermon, about Genesis 1 when it is said "Let Us make man in OUR image, according to OUR likeness," and what it meant.

Just wanted to see what everyone thought. As the person given the lecture pointed out, the same as I had always thought, it meant God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


Some have seen it also as addressing "Plurality of the majesty on high" Elohim, others seeing God speaking to Angelic hosts...
