    The OT contains the sentence “let us create the world” which comes from the older views of the Hebrews that there were more than one god.

    Well yes, technically there were more than one god. The word “god” means “creator”. Even Satan is referred to as “the god of this system”. This is why there is always a qualifier before “God” such as “the True God”, “Almighty God”, etc. As “God” itself is just a title and not a name. The Bible gives the name for “Almighty God” as Jehovah. And yes, some people say “Yahweh”, but even Jewish scholars have agreed recently that Jehovah is the historically accurate pronunciation.

    But back to “let us create the world”, Jesus is identified as the Master Worker. The person who physically created everything, aside from himself.

    Colossians 1:15-17 - “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All other things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all other things, and by means of him all other things were made to exist”

    Now instead of copying and pasting a Wikipedia quote why don’t you answer the question?

    Aside from the characters the·osʹ (because I can never write with my own keyboard the same way, and I definitely didn’t use Wikipedia), I didn’t copy and paste anything.
