Bible Note: Greetings Dachande! I'm not nearly as proficient in Hebrew as I am in Greek, but let me assure you my friend that you have been misled by the Mormons. The ending of 'elohim' does not make the word 'plural' as in gods. The ending is a matter of form, not function. There are, in Hebrew, certain words which have a 'dual' ending, but these words are not plural. Further, the doctrine of the Trinity does not teach that there are multiple gods. It teaches that there is only One God who exists eternally in three distinct Persons or Personalities. Scripture is very clear that there is no other god besides God the Father. Consider the following passages: Try these verses concerning whether there is more than one God: Deut. 4:35 - "You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other." 1 Kg. 18:60 - "so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God and that there is no other." Is. 45:5 - "I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me," Is. 46:9 - "Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me." There are more, but these should suffice! So, since there is only one God according to God, how can anyone else become a god? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
