Default Re: Boxjobox on modalism

I'm not sure if this goes on this modalism thread or on the trinity thread, but I have been thinking for a few weeks about the "And God said, Let Us make man in Our image and after Our likeness...." verse.

Of course, this is often pointed to as a proof of "three in one" since God in the verse seems plural. But it hit me a few days ago that another very simple explanation is that God is speaking to someone else who is also in His image.

And if we know that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, and that all things were made THROUGH Jesus......it seems actually more reasonable that God is speaking to His Son. "Let Us" is "Let You, My Son, and I, God, do this thing".

If it was anyone other than God saying "Let us do xyz" we wouldn't jump to "multiple persons in one person". We would say "oh...who is he talking to?"

Just a thought.
