Why does the King James Version say "us" in Genesis 1:26:
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." and 3:22: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever..."

Well whoever "Us" is, Us shares the same image. Let us make man in our image. (note not images).
Whoever "Us" is also has equal knowledge of good and evil between them for He says man is like Us to know good and evil. Us is Jehovah our Elohim.

Maybe I should have been more direct. Why is the plural used?

Could it be Jesus and the Holy Spirit God is talking about?

I believe it's a Trinitiarian "us"... One God existing in three persons

Because it's plural in the Hebrew.

Unlikley, since this was written long before the suppsed Jesus came along.
Anyways, Jesus the Christ never existed.
