Why “Our Image” Reveals the True God, Not Mormon Teachings
In Mormonism, there’s this teaching that at the time Adam was created, only God the Father had a physical body—implying that Jesus and the Holy Spirit didn’t have bodies yet. But the Bible says something interesting in Genesis 1:26: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” Why “our” and not “my”? That’s not just a grammatical quirk; it reveals a deep truth about God’s nature. The Bible consistently shows God as a Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—all fully God, existing together eternally (Matthew 28:19, John 1:1–3, John 10:30). They work in perfect unity. That plural pronoun “us” in Genesis is a hint at the plurality within the Godhead, a divine council or the triune nature of God. Mormonism’s view separates the Father from the Son and Holy Spirit in ways that don’t line up with this biblical revelation. It teaches that Jesus and the Spirit came to have bodies later, which contradicts the eternal, unchanging nature of God described in Scripture (Hebrews 13:8, John 17:5)....
