creation of the universe. The first verse of the Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth. The Hebrew word Elohim is the name of God in this verse, and it is a plural noun meaning three or more suggesting the three persons of the Trinity. See Genesis 1:1. Genesis 1:26 again presents God as a plural noun (Elohim, but Genesis 1:27 presents God both as a plural noun (Elohim) and as a singular pronoun (his/he). 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, overall the earth, and overall the creatures that move along the ground. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him male and female he created them (Genesis 1:26,27 NIV). The Bible clearly teaches that there is only one God.
