Greetings Walter and Debbie,
The article states the following and has the following references:

Bible verses related to Elohim from the King James Version (KJV) by Relevance

Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Deuteronomy 6:4 - Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Psalms 110:1 - (A Psalm of David.) The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Psalms 2:7 - I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
1 Corinthians 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.
Isaiah 9:6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

My Comment: The above in no way clarifies the correct understanding of the word "Elohim". The word "Elohim" occurs ONLY in the first three references.

Kind regards
Trevor

Hello to the original poster,

This may seem and sound odd, but since God created male and female in his own image, could Elohim be defined as both the Male/Female attributes of Yahavah? Just curious, I call Yahavah my Father; and just realize that he does make male and female in his own image, could this sum up the plurality of God?

Edit; I realize that most people may take offense to this or have some type of shocked reaction. I can be wrong in my thoughts just as many others, and I’m prone to changing my mind on things as well. Thank you.

Greetings again Walter and Debbie,
I appreciate the reference to the article by your former Pastor. I disagree with most of what he says, and do not endorse that Jesus is God the Son. Jesus is the Son of God. He argues against Sir Anthony Buzzard who is a strong and effective advocate of the Unitarian position. I support and endorse most of what Sir Anthony teaches, both in his publications and his many videos. His book "The Doctrine of the Trinity: Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound (1998) 365 pages" is a very useful reference book, and I agree with most of what he says in this book.

Kind regards
Trevor

I agree with what Jesus said: God is a Spirit. I especially agree with What Jesus said to Peter about who He is, not what people say He is but by revelation from God.

2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Love, Walter

Your statement is obscure and does not seem to have much substance and your two articles that your referenced similarly did not have much effective substance. I hope your new Pastor is better value. I am not sure that he could respond to Anthony Buzzard who spent some years as a Lecturer on the Bible Languages. His explanation of Isaiah 9:6 "Mighty God" and "Everlasting Father" on page 88 of his book is very helpful.

Kind regards
Trevor
