First, let me thank you for offering this forum. I don’t know of many theologians that have the guts to open themselves up to a question and answer forum concerning their writings/beliefs on the Internet.
I would like to ask you a couple of questions that arise from reading Chapter 3 of God At War. On page 107 you accept the Jewish interpretation of Genesis 1:26 that the first person plural “us” refers to God consulting with angels. Given the context, I’ve always accepted the traditional Christian view that this is a reference to God as Trinity, similar to the use of Elohim in Gen. 1:1. What makes you lean toward the Jewish interpretation? Also, how does it make sense that God and the angels make man in their image, plural? It would make more sense to me to say that God made us in His image in the sense that the Father, Son, and Spirit are all active in our creation and that we are given some of the qualities of the Godhead.
The second question I have concerns the Gap Theory you propose. Do you believe that the Flood account (Gen. 6f) took place between Gen. 1:1 and Gen. 1:2? Do you also believe in a literal worldwide flood?
Thanks for your time and consideration, Greg. Much of this is new to me and I want to make sure I understand your position.
Barry

Great questions! It's good to have you aboard.
On the home page of this site it says that the Doc is speaking in the United Kingdom from the 27th till the 29th of Nov. Well, he actually flew out today and won't be back till after the 29th.
