Don’t ask me to justify it but the modern view among evangelicals is that he is the one doing all the anthropomorphic stuff in Genesis. Also according to the Gospel of John he would have as a celestial being.
I almost feel bad for apologetics types sometimes. Having to square the circle.
The entire thing is pretty convoluted. I think even theologians don’t quite understand it, which is why they had to make up the doctrine of the Trinity to explain why this allegedly monotheistic religion had more than one diety entity.
Judaism had a solution to this. God just really likes making the Angels feel included in the process also likes to pretend to be weaker since it makes him more approachable. So every time God is talking to someone else up there it is just an Angel and every time he seems to be just Superman having an off day he is just pulling his punches.
Apparently God attended a seminar on middle management located in an Airport Hilton at some point and did some trust falls. Which makes you wonder what he wrote on his name badge. Someone get a Rabbi and ask.
Jesus didn’t exist yet though.
That’s his dad. You can tell they’re related.
