The One G-d and His relationship with mankind
#3
In Genesis, it says "Let us create man in Our image." This is a stumbling block for many people. How do you rectify this. The words "let us," and "Our" seem to denote more than one G-d. I don't think that He is talking to Himself, so is He talking to angels, or are there other G-d's? I believe in One G-d, but I often wonder if this is one of the first mis-translations of the original texts.

Another question is why cannot a gentile rest on the 7th day of rest to dedicate that day to G-d?

And my last question for now. Many times I have read and heard that G-d is everywhere and doesn't have a body, so how is it that some of the prophets of G-d spoke to Him face to face, or ate with Him or walked with Him. If He is everywhere, then why would He ask or call out to Adam, "where are you?", when Adam was hiding because of his nudity, or ask Cain "where is your brother Abel?" If He is spirit and everywhere these questions would not be needed because He would already know the answer. And how would someone wrestle with the L-rd if he was not a physical being?

I am not trying to refute the writings, but I really want to know the answers to these questions.

Thank you for your time.
