Christian/Muslim ThreadsAbdullahs signature...Sounds like your trying to BS a way of validating Multiple Gods in one, i.e. defending the trinity. Another way you can tell is the handicapp of strong's number system (which supposedly "translates" the meaning of words to a christian understanding). First. It's just crap. Half the strong numbers are so off base, you'd swear he was guessing. Second, they can't read hebrew. Here is proof: They wrote: Elohim. Yet what does the hebrew say? Elohainu. Elohainu (God): אלהנו Elohim (God/Judge): אלהים Clear difference there. Besides, u are assuming that Elohim is a literal referance to multiple Gods, which it is not always. Despite the -im ending common to many plural nouns in Hebrew, the word Elohim, when referring to God, is grammatically singular, and regularly takes a singular verb in the Hebrew Bible. When the Hebrew Bible uses elohim in reference other Gods, it usually takes plural forms of the verb (for example, Exodus 20:3). Some scholars interpret the -im ending as an expression of majesty (pluralis majestatis) or excellence (pluralis excellentiae), expressing high dignity or greatness: compare with the similar use of plurals of ba`al (master) and adon (lord). For these reasons, Christian theologians now largely accept that it is an exegetical fallacy to draw support for the Christian doctrine of the Trinity from the apparently plural ending of the word elohim, as once was done. Many Christian believers, however, disagree that it is an exegetical fallacy and cite this as clear evidence for such an essential Christian doctrine. Another note: In many of the passages in which Elohim occurs in the Bible it refers to non-Israelite deities, or in some instances to powerful men (Genesis 3:5), to judges (Exodus 21:6), or to Israel (Psalms 81:9, 82:6). |
