Bible Note: Hi Tim, You have not given a Scripture reference yet for "I am elohim and besides me there is no other elohim". If you have in mind Isaiah 45:21, I have given you my interpretation of the verse; namely, that "there is no other [leaving out (g)God or making it lower case "god"] besides Me". The idea of the context is that there is no other god who can save. Verse 20 talks about how they "carry about their wooden idol, And pray to a god who cannot save". The Jehovah's Witness who looks to another god in John 1:1 will find one who can not save for they deny that the Word is God. They need a Savior. This One, this Savior, says that there is no other [god] besides Him. The "This One" of John 1:1 was in the beginning with God. 1) God came to earth and dwelt among us. There is no strange god among us. Isaiah 45:14, "...Surely God is with you, and there is none else, No other (God)." 15 "Truly, Thou art a God who hides Himself, O God of Israel, Savior." Israel has been saved by the Lord; Isaiah 45:17. There is none else, no other God; verse 14. What are some other verses to consider for "no other elohim"? From the heart, Ray |
