in Genesis 1v26?
Then God said 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness......'
One particular JW suggested that elohim here was only plural 'for respect' ??? And that God was speaking to a separate being ie 'that our refers to Michael' [the archangel]
However, we notice at v27 that the Bible says 'So God created man in HIS own image, in the image of God, he created them.....'
If JWs believe that at v26 God is speaking to Michael does that mean we are made in the image of angels as well as God. How do you reconcile v27 with your beliefs about v26?
Many thanks.
