>>In Genesis, when He creates man, God says things like "let >>us". Is it a royal we, an affectation never used again.

>The text was either borrowed from a polytheistic culture, or >dates back to a time when the Hebrews were polytheistic.
Oh, no, now wait a minute here. neh eh. I'm not letting you get away with that now. There is a totally different possibility. The we and Us can be God and Man, together, possibly even as one.

Genesis is full of referances to God and Man being connected in ways we are not used to thinking about.

After all, there was nothing in the beginning except God. Then God made the world. From the world (dirt) he made Man. Since there was nothing to make the world out of besides himself, the world (and therefore man) must either be made of God or of nothing.
Either way, we are dirt :)

>>I won't be able to witness much more of your fanatical >
>>protestations
Heh, if you are actually talking about defending the reliability of the bible as a book of absolute truths, give up. It is too easy to show the Bible is not accurate and is a man-written book that has been abused and used for lots of terrible purposes (and good reasons too)

>Protesting what? That the Triune God didn't exist until
>some Christian thought of it?
hee hee, aren't you the one that said thoughts and dreams are where concrete events and creations come from.(possibly)
Besides, Just because noone understood it before Jesus, doesn't mean it didn't exist.
