“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” True.
(Genesis 1:1)
The Hebrew word is elohim.
Hebrew elohim -> English God. Singular.
”In the beginning gods created the heavens and the earth.” False.
Hebrew elohim -> English gods. Plural.
The Hebrew word elohim is always plural in form. It isn’t always plural in meaning. In fact, it is almost always singular in meaning in the Bible.
Elohim isn’t the only Hebrew word which functions this way.
How do you understand these Matthias, when it speaks of "of whom" and "by whom" as far as the created things by Christ, or rather, God creating all things by Jesus Christ, what is your understanding according to scripture.
Paul writes,
1 Cr 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him;
and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Heb 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
who created all things by Jesus Christ
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds
I popped back in because I was curious, and just these three so I can get a better understanding on your own confidence concerning how you tie these things together.
