Bible Question (short): (Elohim) help with this please |
Question (full): in a book called "preparing the way by cal pierce " this word was used i would like some help understand this more (Elohim) A plural form for deity. It is a frequently used term and the most comprehensive of the El combinations. The plurality of this word is not a hint of polytheism. It is a plural of majesty. It is a revelation of the infinite nature of God. In the creation narrative, we read: “Then Elohim said, ‘Let us make man in our image.’ ” (Genesis 1:26) This name suggests that there is a mystery to the Creator-God which humankind cannot fully fathom. God is absolute, infinite Lord over creation and history. The Christian sees in this term a pointer to the Trinitarian reality of creation. |
