    The good the bad, and the rest

    This English rendering of Genesis 1:1 is correct. It isn’t elohim, plural; it’s elohim, singular.

    The good the bad, and the rest

    You provided all of the information needed, confirming my position. Moses isn’t a trinitarian. He’s a Jewish monotheist.

    The good the bad, and the rest

    Echad means one, not more than one. Elohim is always plural in form, always singular in meaning when speaking about Yahweh. You can prove it for yourself - anyone can - but you refuse to. Echad can modify a collective noun, but Yahweh isn’t a collective noun. The God of the scriptures is...

    Jesus was not a Jew?

    Yes. Jesus is a Jewish monotheist. Until a person understands and insists on that, they won’t understand him. God is one God … who is the Messiah’s God and Father. This is what the scriptures teach. Only those among the Jews who rejected Jesus, himself a Jew, got it wrong. The question...

    The good the bad, and the rest

    An ace in the hole. Elohim, always plural in form*, is seldom plural in meaning in the Bible; and never plural in meaning when used in reference to Yahweh. * This is the key. The word isn’t plural, it’s plural in form.

    The good the bad, and the rest

    Elohim is a Hebrew word that is always plural in form but not always plural in meaning. We have words like this in English too. For example, deer. ”I see deer in the woods.” How many deer do I see? One? Three? Twelve? Deer. Plural in form, singular in meaning -> I see one deer. Deer. Plural...
