[Job 38:1-7] And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: Who [is] this -- darkening counsel, By words without knowledge? Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know. Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding. Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line? On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?. In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy?

Here is the "Us" of Genesis 1:26.

Interesting contrast here:

...In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy?

Joh 3:18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding. Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line? On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?. In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy? Here is the "Us" of Genesis 1:26.

Not so. These sons of God are merely shouting for joy. They are observing not participating in the creation. The "us" in Genesis 1:26 are participating not just observing.

Genesis 1:2 says: "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Could that "Spirit of God" be the "the Holy Spirit"? Hmmm??? Otherwise why not just say: "and God moved upon the face of the waters.".

Why "the Spirit" here? It does not say that "part of God's spirit", or "a" spirit but "the" Spirit giving this Spirit specificity and a separable identity in the act of creation.
