God Manifested as the Father in Creation

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen. 1:1. No one else but God performed the miracle of creation. And God said, "Let us make man in our image..." Gen. 1:26. To use the word "us" and try to form other Gods in the creation, clashes not only with the Scriptures, but with common sense. The word God means Supreme Being, the eternal and infinite Spirit, Creator and Sovereign of the universe.

There cannot be more than one Supreme Being. By no means was God talking or counseling with other Gods. He was counseling with His own will. Eph 1:11 In the creation of man, God, the eternal Spirit, foresaw the image or the Son in which He would some day reveal Himself to man. The Son did not exist at the creation. "But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law." Gal. 4:4.

The Son, who is the image of God, was made thousands of years after the creation. Also God spoke of things which be not as though they were. Rom. 4:17. "So God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE," Gen. 1:27. "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of Him that was to come." Rom. 5:14. God, referring to the Sonship, made Adam in the figure of Him that was to come. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1.

The Word cannot be separated from God. The term "Word" is derived from the Greek term "logis which means "thought or plan". God's thoughts are with Him, but they cannot be separated from Him. "The Word was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD." "All things were made by Him (Word); and without Him (Word) was not anything made that was made." John 1:3. "...The worlds were framed by the Word of God..." Heb 11:3. So by His Word God created all things. "Thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it.. I am the LORD; and there is NONE ELSE." Is.45:18. "...I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens ALONE; that spreadeth abroad the earth BY MYSELF." Is. 44:24. "...Is there a God beside me? yea; there is no God; I know not any." Is. 44:8. "See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with me..." Deut. 32:39. "Have we not all ONE Father? Hath not ONE God created us?..." Mal. 2:10.
