Subject: Does anyone have a good way to explain t |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, You keep ignoring that if one or two verses say there is only one God and then the other verses I have shown you, identify others such as angels and certain men as gods, then the only way to understand Is. 44:6 and 45:5 is the way I explained them. Otherwise you are ignoring those verses that identify these others as "elohim" gods or mighty ones. One example: At Psalm 8:5, the angels are also referred to as ´elo·him´, as is confirmed by Paul’s quotation of the passage at Hebrews 2:6-8. They are called beneh´ ha ´Elo·him´, “sons of God” (KJ); “sons of the true God” (NW), at Genesis 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1. Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros, by Koehler and Baumgartner (1958), page 134, says: “(individual) divine beings, gods.” And page 51 says: “the (single) gods,” and it cites Genesis 6:2; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7. Hence, at Psalm 8:5 ´elo him´ indeed is used not as false gods but "elo him" and is rendered “angels” in the(LXX)and “godlike ones” in the NWT. Truthfinder |
