You answered it when you quoted me saying "
someone other than God" 3-4 times. Every time you quote than then you ask "someone or something?" and expect me to answer it. That's nuts.

You haven't provided proof of that, however.

The "proof" or evidence was in the article. It went into the hebrew grammar. You said you read it. You said you could not understand it. So I am a little bewildered how you can tell me I did not provide proof when the proof I provided you could not comprehend by your own admission

That's what I'm looking for. Proof that the 'someone' God spoke to was in someway like God with the same image as God.
|
God said "Let us make man after OUR image and after OUR likeness" isn't enough proof? The word image and likeness here are singular. If there were two images here, dirt and God, God would have used a plural. There is one sort of image or likeness here and the plural OUR has that one image. God is NOT like dirt! There is no way God could be speaking to dirt and saying dirt has an image like God and that "we will make man in our image". Like I said it is very very very simple grammar.

The problem you have is that on several occasions, God speaks to something inanimate and that object does what it's commanded to do.
|
Show me where God speaks to an inanimate object and says "us" and "our" and "image". God does not talk to inanimate objects. He commands or speaks things to happen. He does not hold conversations with non living beings

And you must be the only guy who's never gotten mad at his car, hit it and yelled at it when it didn't work right...haha!

I might say "stupid car" but Im not going to say "You can't be a stupid car because you were made in our image"

Does is matter what exact words I used? The fact is, I said, "Let us..." That's the entire point.
|
Yes it does matter! we are talking about grammar, sentences. God said "Let us make man in OUR image after OUR likeness" and you say that is dirt. In order to be grammatically correct Dirt would have to have an image like God. God and dirt would have to have a similar image

Not exactly....LOL! But the fact is, I said, "Let's take a listen." US is still used, even though I'm a singular person.

I think most people that would say that would be talking to the patient and thus would be including them since they are there and they are going to be the one you are listening to even though you are the only one listening
