Interesting how alwayslearning can write what I am trying to say but uses far fewer words to do so.

But usually I am using the discussion as an 'airing out' opportunity for my own ideas. I admit to that. But again, that to me is what 'church' should at least partly be about.

But if you can say "God was alone in heaven" before the creation of man I really don't know what Bible you are reading. He is not called "YHWH Elohim tzevaot" or "YHWH Elohim sabaoth" for nothing.
