Perhaps you don't understand the meanings of We, Us and I. The first two are plural and the last is singular. The Lord refers to the first two in Genesis and the latter in Isaiah.

There is Elohim the Most High God. He is not alone. Not at all.

You know, the discussion of referring to divinity in the plural or singular is interesting, especially in view of the Jerusalem/Bethlehem discussion from yesterday. In that case, it was unfathomable that prophets would use different language in referring to the birthplace of Christ, even if both could easily be seen as referring to Christ's birthplace and were even explained by the context of the situation.

Here we have God speaking (or at least speaking through prophets), and using very different language in different instances, but those differences are brushed aside because they don't support the underlying argument. Perhaps the same level of analysis and scrutiny could be applied here as well.

He is, certainly, not alone.

But there is no God outside of Him.

Certainly none that used to be men.

Do you realize what the serpent's lie was in the garden ?
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
