The other martians?

So, taking out my handy dandy Chumash (the first five books of Moses with a little bit of commentary), g-d was speaking to the Angels. They were created on the second day. And it switches because the angels are a part of g-d, but g-d is not the angels. So man was created in the likeness of g-d, but not in the likeness of the angels.

In some Theological circles, it is believed that He is talking to Jesus (before his incarnation) and the Holy Spirit. There is sufficient evidence through scripture to purport this. If this passage is “really” important to you, than reading the scripture (Bible) hopefully in King James Version may give you the hint. You will need to read both The old and The New Testament, this may just “prep” you for the answer, but the answer you need may come to you to as a direct revelation from God. He still speaks to His creation, just ask him. In Christ.

And you are actually trying to make sense of this? ~sigh~

"Who is God talking to when He says 'us', and 'our' in that verse?" To a few of his tribe of gods. He seems to have been a junior member, since someone else had already created the tribe of the Land of Nod (Genesis 4:16), and since he is recorded as having at least two wives.

How was man made in the image and likeness of God? God’s form is unknown to man. (Deuteronomy 4:15-20) But man was made in Jehovah’s image and likeness in that he was created with such attributes of God as justice, wisdom, power and love. (Deuteronomy 32:4; Job 12:13; Isaiah 40:26; 1 John 4:8) Since these qualities are also possessed by God’s Son, the Word, Jehovah appropriately said to him: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.”—John 1:1-3, 14.

he was talking to the earth not Jesus because Jesus is God God was the creator in the begining then he took on an earthly body and then he was called jesus when he died he sent us the holyghost

In Christian theology--not some modern pseudo-scholarship and not what somebody imagines to be true--this has always been one of the foundational proof passages for the doctrine of the Trinity, that there are three distinct Persons who can all say "I am God" without there being three Gods. There is a whole boatload of newly-discovered Bible passages from the Old Testament that say the same thing. (Newly discovered in the original languages using Bible software.) If you are truly interested you can get the book, The Jewish Trinity, at Amazon or at www.yoel.info, which also gives you a second downloadable book for free. The book is brilliant. I don't know why it's been so widely ignored.

Some scholars say that it's Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The name used in Genesis one is Elohim. God (a plural noun, more than two, used with singular verbs); Elohim occurs 2,570 times in the OT, 32 times in Gen. 1. God as Creator, Preserver, Transcendent, Mighty and Strong. Eccl., Dan. Jonah use Elohim almost exclusively. See Gen. 17:7, 6:18, 9:15, 50:24; I Kings 8:23; Jer. 31:33; Isa. 40:1. Perhaps God refers to himself as "us" because Elohim denotes majesty. The following explanation is taken from the Stone Edition of the Tanach----Targum Yonasam paraphrases: " And God said to the ministering angels who had been created on the second day of creation of the world, "Let us make man" When Moses wrote the Torah and came to this verse (letus make), which is in the plural and implies that there is more than one creator, he said, "Soverein of the Universe! Why do You thus furnish a pretext for heretics to maintain that there is a plurality of divinities?" "Write!" God replied. "Whoever wished to err will err..... Instead let them learn from their Creator Who created all, yet when He came to create man He took counsel with the ministering angels" (Midrash) I found the latter explanation from the Tanach very interesting. Whether or not it's correct I leave that decision up to you. Personally I think the following......Kings traditionally use the plural form when referring to themselves. From Job 323:4 and Psalm 104:30, we know that God's Spirit was present in the creation. From Collosians 1;16 we know that Christ, God's Son, was at work in the creation. I'm not advocating for or against a trinitarian argument , I'm simply stating my position.

He was talking to all the voices in his head

God is a Trinity. the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are One.

This is 'The majestic plural (pluralis maiestatis in Latin) is the use of a plural pronoun to refer to a single person holding a high office, such as a monarch, bishop, pope, or university rector. It is also called the Royal pronoun, the Royal 'we' or the Victorian 'we'. The more general word for the use of "we" to refer to oneself is nosism, from the Latin nos. The idea behind the pluralis maiestatis is that a monarch or other high official always speaks for his or her people.[citation needed] For example, the Basic Law of the Sultanate of Oman opens thus: "On the Issue of the Basic Law of the State We, Qaboos bin Said, Sultan of Oman" Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_we
