When Moses wrote the first verse of Genesis, every nation had a pantheon of gods that they worshiped, and elohiym is the word for the pantheon of gods.
So you're insulting Moses now? You're quite a piece of work.
Your argument fails because it does not take into account the beliefs of the people at the time Genesis was written.
I am not the one that made the claim that Thomas was taking the Lord's name in vain.
Yes, I made that point as well.
I don't think that, I think you misunderstand Thomas' words
I am still waiting to see any of this evidence you claim to have.
John 5:24 24 [JESUS]Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.[/JESUS] |
Your problem is that you are applying concepts that were developed centuries after John was written and making the false assumption that the writer and original first century audience believed those concepts instead of what they actually believed.
Logos. A principle originating in classical Greek thought which refers to a universal divine reason, immanent in nature, yet transcending all oppositions and imperfections in the cosmos and humanity. An eternal and unchanging truth present from the time of creation, available to every individual who seeks it. |
John 1:14 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. |
Acts 2:22 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: |
1 Timothy 2:5 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; |
Then you should stop behaving that way.
What kind of childish drivel are you spewing now?
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the son of David through Mary. The One God, Yahweh, God the Father raised up Jesus by means of His conception and birth and education. Jesus fully revealed the character of His Father during His ministry, He was full of grace and truth, and he never sinned, and God through His Son thus established a new basis for the forgiveness of sins through His death and resurrection. When we believe into Him and identify with His death and resurrection, our faith is counted for righteousness and our sins are forgiven. God’s purpose anticipated in His Name Yahweh, He will be or become, is thus revealed and accomplished in and through Jesus, the Son of God, and Jesus thus bears God’s Name, Yahweh our righteousness. God’s purpose is fulfilled in His Son.
You have to try to understand what the writer and readers would have thought about what the words were trying to convey to avoid giving a false interpretation.
That is obviously speaking about the righteousness of God that is by faith in Jesus Christ.
| Romans 3:21-26 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. |
1 John 4:9-10 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. |
You are actually disagreeing by claiming the distorted interpretation we are now taught is the correct one and dismissing any interpretation that uses the cultural, historic, and linguistic clues to show the meaning of the verses.
Not even close. To call a man (the King that God will send) LORD is blaspheme. But you're OK with that, you condone it all the time.
The point is that I'm not wrong about Genesis 1:1
There's also plenty special about the number 7, why choose 3 instead of 7?
The point is that el isn't the singular form of elohim.
No, your app is conflating elohenu with elohim. I've shown you that abenu is singular, and that it has the same yod-nun-waw suffix group as elohenu.
I figure that Jesus knows a lot more about what is proper and what is blasphemy than you do.
| John 10:34-36 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? |
