No, the conversation has also touched on the trinity being a 2000 years later Christian invention hence I am now asking you to account for the simultaneous plurality and singularity of the God in the Hebrew scripture outside the paradigm of the trinity which you have consistently rejected and thus far your divine council theory has been falling flat in light of just Genesis 1. That's the discussion right now...

To the point...

According to the verse you just provided and your own admission, the divine council did not participate in creation so they could not be the US referred to in Genesis 1 could they? God says LET US create and again the verse proceeds to say "so GOD CREATED...", so it follows the US must be CREATING! and that anybody creating has to be God. It never says WATCH us create or SEE us create but LET US CREATE.

So again your verse does not align your divine council paradigm to the corpus of scripture like mine does. In my model, I have provided verses showing that God creates, the Word creates and the Spirit creates. So if your argument is the Spirit is part of the divine council (which you have dropped quicklike as you've done with all the previous points that have been shown not to be as advantageous as first thought), then so is the Word then there would be two members of the divine council who created alongside God which starts to sound an awful lot like the trinity.

I ask again which verse says the divine council CREATED anything alongside God?

And if you cannot find any verse that says so do you concede your model does not work? Or at least the trinitarian model accounts for the scriptural data regarding creation in the OT more than your divine council model does? If you still stick to divine council then chapter and verse showing me they created...if you cannot find any then concede your model does not work and provide another model to me please.
