What and who is God referring to in Genesis 1:26?

The Goal of Life by Hiram Butler (available for free at internet sacred text archive) may give you a fresh perspective to think about your question. However, if you don't feel like reading through and getting what you want out of it, I'll tell you my view on it (which is not exactly with nor opposing that of said book), and it is that "the Gods" does not necessarily refer to a set or duo of Gods, but a duality in the mind of God, the male aspect (the one who thinks, has ideas, desires) and the female aspect (the one who gives birth to said ideas through creation). I do not agree with most of the ideas in this book, and neither will most of the folks who read it probably, but it can give a very good deal of insight to apply to your own thinking on the subject. It's worth looking into.

It is insightful in the sense that it can and may instill perspectives, new ways of thinking and understanding, into your mind that otherwise may not have been there before. Even if one may not agree with what's been said, to understand the thought process (and the author explains his thought process very deeply in many cases) gives you the ability to think in the same terms. Why not read the book yourself and see what I mean? It's very long and may take a while, and lots of the scientific things that he references to are already outdated (it was written about 100 years ago) but I guarantee you will get some kind of gain from it.:yes:
