At the start of this new year, many people begin their annual practice of reading through the Holy Bible. Susan and I are among those who do this each year.

Some of the statements appearing early in the Scriptures puzzle those who haven’t read them for a while. For example, Genesis 1:26: “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness … ‘” (NKJV) and Genesis 3:22: “Then the LORD God said, ‘Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil'” (NKJV).

On August 8, 2018, I posted an article dealing with these verses along with Genesis 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8. If you have questions about these verses, you can find the article by searching this blog for the title “Let Us Make Man.”
