Good Morning Truthfinder, Thanks for answering my question. I was kinda hoping that we could stick to one text of scripture at a time. Too many passages of scripture at one time, and I'll be coming and going at the same time. Yesterevening I did some studying on what you said, about Elohim. This is what I found. Elohim INDICATES a Plurality in Unity. It is used of Idols. Ex. 34:17, "You shall make no molden godS for yourselves." More than one. It is used of Men. Psalms 82:6, "I said you are godS, and all of you are children of the Most High." More than one. It is used of Angels. Psalms 97:7, "Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, who boast of idols. Worship Him, all you godS." More than one. If Elohim indicate a plurality in unity, and in everyother case it is used, it is referring to a group; it is referring to more than a single individual, then why in the case of Jehovah the word is taken out of it's original meaning to indicate a single individual?? "In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. God-Elohim-Plurality in Unity. God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit. It seems to me that you're using the correct definition of Elohim 99 percent of the time with one exception. This definition tends to use Elohim in it's context 100 percent of the time. But you're not understanding this are you?? |

Hi The Curtman, I am happy to see that you agree with me concerning the use of elohim in referencing angels, certain men etc. Hebrew is indeed an interesting language. I don't even claim to know Hebrew but I have studied it in Rice University, Houston TX. Here's one example to answer your question. Ordinarily the eem sufix of Heb words indicate the masculine plural. In Psalm 89:6: “Who can resemble Jehovah among the sons of God [bi·beneh´ ´E·lim´]?” That the plural form is used to denote a single individual here and in a number of other places is supported by the translation of ´E·lim´ by the singular form The·os´ in the Greek Septuagint; likewise by Deus in the Latin Vulgate. Theon is the plural in Greek and Deum in Latin. Truthfinder |
