So the answer is simply this; that the plural pronoun 'us' at Genesis 1:26 refers to the Father, to the Son and also to the Holy Spirit who are our creator.

One person is speaking for He says "by MYself" so this excludes other persons.
Angels were present and though they did not create they were present and share the same image that man was also made in most likely. If you had bother to ready my previous posts this would be evident.
Second the bible does not say God MADE alone. The Hebrew word for made does not mean the same thing for create. Again if you had bothered to read up till here this would be already known to you.
Third if three different individuals created we'd have creators plural, and images plural and we would not have in the next verse singular A "God made man after HIS own image etc etc"
The best solution is that God was addressing the angels who were present and being spirits and moral beings who can make choices, they do had a similiar image to God after which God made man in .
