Hi The Curtman, The answer to your question: Please remember that the pronoun "He" is Jesus. Also I removed the words "other" which were in brackets to show they were inserted to clearify the thought since some here have a problem with that. Notice Jesus is the image of God and not God, too. God used him to create the stars, earth, man, and angels. Col. 1:15 13 He delivered us from the authority of the darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, 14 by means of whom we have our release by ransom, the forgiveness of our sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 because by means of him all things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all things and by means of him all things were made to exist, To reinforce his point, Paul cited this universal truth." as found at Heb. 3:4 “Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.” No one should dispute that God is greater than anyone, for he is the Builder, or Creator, of all. Logically, then, since Jesus was God’s coworker, he must be greater than all other creation, including Moses but not greater that himself so inserting "other" would be appropriate. 1 Cor 11:2,3, 2 Now I commend YOU because in all things YOU have me in mind and YOU are holding fast the traditions just as I handed [them] on to YOU. 3 But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God For centuries Proverbs 8:30 has been used to clearify this thought. Proverbs 8:22-30, 22 “Jehovah himself produced me as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. 23 From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from times earlier than the earth. 24 When there were no watery deeps I was brought forth as with labor pains, when there were no springs heavily charged with water. 25 Before the mountains themselves had been settled down, ahead of the hills, I was brought forth as with labor pains, 26 when as yet he had not made the earth and the open spaces and the first part of the dust masses of the productive land. 27 When he prepared the heavens I was there; when he decreed a circle upon the face of the watery deep, 28 when he made firm the cloud masses above, when he caused the fountains of the watery deep to be strong, 29 when he set for the sea his decree that the waters themselves should not pass beyond his order, when he decreed the foundations of the earth, 30 then I came to be beside him as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time, 31 being glad at the productive land of his earth, and the things I was fond of were with the sons of men.

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 |
