Not disagreeing. Was simply speaking in general terms.

This is so wrong. Jesus had two natures, a divine nature and a human nature, fully God and fully man.

Does this mean that Jesus is a person, distinct from the eternal Son of God?

I know, I was just fleshing out the non-Christian statement.

Both a human person and God at the same time.

Was that His nature when He created light in Genesis, Both God and human?

God the Father created the light from darkness.

I’ve seen it described in this way in Genesis 1:

1. light (day)/darkness (night) = 4. sun/moon
2. arrangement of water = 5. fish + birds from waters
3. a) dry land = 6. a) animals
b) vegetation b) human beings: male/female

Here is where we have God referring to the Trinity in Genesis 1:

26 Then God said: Let us make* human beings in our image, after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the tame animals, all the wild animals, and all the creatures that crawl on the earth.

So who is the "us?"

God spoke in Genesis 1, the Word of God, being the Son of God. At the moment that God said “Let there be Light”, was the Son of God both fully human and fully God?
