in a sense, the word "creators" isnt wrong. being that The Father, the word and the holy spirit are all one, there are three but they are one. kind of a hard concept to grasp, but they are three in one.
the best way I can explain the trinity is 1 to the 3rd power.
1x1x1=1
Father, the word(jesus) and the holy spirit = God.
I had heard that In The beginning, where it says GOD, the original word is ELOHIM. which is plurel, meaning more then one. So should this not read " In the beginning, the Gods created? This is not only plurel, but also Feminine? Then had read it was Masuline/Feminine? so its a male female word.

I got a right and a left arm. As well as two feet etc. So if I created something would it be correct to use the word creators ? Or CREATOR as in ONE ?

well Jake, all you have to do is research this and you will see that it is a masuline Feminine word. It bites that you dont know hebrew- greek words.

I think the 1x1x1=1 post said it pretty well.
As for the male female thing. The bible makes it clear that God was there. It also makes it clear that Jesus was there. The Holy Spirit is a given...
I dont see the fem anywhere

In the original text it states " In the beginning the ELOHIM created.."which is plurel so that would make it more than one GOD. my 4 yr old knows this!.
It says he created, in gens 1, then in 2 the LORD GOD forms a man of the dirt. is not to create something and then to form are two different things going on here. so what i get here going on, Elohims create, Then Lord God ( leader of the gods) Forms a man from the dirt. He makes dirt man. so maybe we got Spiritual, Gen 1, then Dirt man gen 2

yes it does take male and female to make a baby. Got didnt make babies, he made a full grown man and a full grown woman. also, God doesnt have a body life ours, he is not a human. it is true that a woman cannot produce offspring by herself, however Jesus ws born of a virgin.
God is not limited by anything, if he were, he wouldnt be God.
as for the "Gods", plural, refer to John 1:1 and I John 5:7
its what is called the trinity. they are all one.

If you said anything after that , that needed attention, I didnt read it. I realized how far off the mark you were right here.
God + Jesus + Holy Spirit = 3. I should hope your 4 year old knows this by now.
The bible also teaches that the 3 are 1. This is very difficult for some.
You should practice reading comprehension more often then sarcasm and you would not misunderstand my answers like that.
Since you seem to be the type that is more worried about getting in a jab, then actually exchanging info... I must add you to the ignore list. Nothing personal...it just helps to sort out the trash from the info.
Jesus himself though said that the Father has even more power and is greater then him (or words to that affect). So clearly then they are not equal. Jesus also said that you can blasphmy against him and it would be forgiven but to do so to the Holy Spirit is not forgivable. In the gospel of Thomas(not excepted by the Roman church but accepted by many scholars) it even goes further to say that you can blashemy against the Father and the son and it will be forgiven but not against the Holy Ghost.

Evo C, it means that some people will interpret things as they wish, despite being hit with something that is obvious
oh yeah I agree. II peter 3:3-8 has the best answer on that one. the scoffers are willingly ignorant of.
of course that is based on my faith in the bible.
Lets face it the majority of people think that your bible is completely false
Personally I think that it is more than possible that we evolved in 2million years than it was somehow sped up by god.
