The concept of Elohim (God/gods) In The Bible by AntiChristian: 5:43pm On May 18, 2022 |
The concept of God/god (Elohim) in the Bible is deceptive and can easily be translated as one wishes. Son of God In the Bible we see that Moses was God for Pharaoh, Satan is the God of the world, Sons of God came to sleep with humans, God fought Jacob and lost, Jesus is the son of God, Even you are Gods. Most of these Gods are from "Elohim" in Hebrew. Elohim which can be translated as "gods" can be used in the singular sense for God, for god, Angels, Superhuman, and for people of authority such as a Judge or ruler. Elohim as God aka Yahweh Take note that in Gen 1:1 In the Beginning God (Elohim) created the heaven and earth. Used as gods Now I know that the LORD (Yahweh) is greater than all other gods (Elohim), for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” Exo 18:11 “Whoever sacrifices to any god (Elohim) other than the LORD (Yahweh) must be destroyed. Exo 22:20 As an Angel (Cos i don't think Jacob can fight God.) “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.” Gen 32:28 Humans are God (Elohim) Then the LORD (Yahweh) said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God (Elohim) to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. Exo 7:1 “I said, ‘You are “gods" (Elohim); you are all sons of the Most High.’ Psalm 82:6 But check the Arabic Bible and the Hausa Bible.....You'll see the hypocrite translators do their thing! Remember how wine became grape juice in the Hause Bible to appeal to the wine hating Hausa? |

Maynman: The original post highlighted this. Elohim can be used to represent God, Satan, man, Angel, etc. Allah can't be used in this way. |

Anti-christian what's your point. Allah is just Arabic for God. So do you expect to have more than one Arabic translation? Anyway for you to know God has many names, every tribe and culture have a name for God. The Eli, Elohim are Hebrew versions for God, one is singular, while the other is plural. The Allah of Islam may be the same as God, but a misrepresented version of the eternal God. Anyway just serve your God your way and stop wasting time picking on other religions. Why don't you tackle Hinduism, and others. There are over 1500 religions in the world but every day your issue is with the Christian Bible. 1 Like |

AntiChristian: You seem to be interested in the Bible more than the Koran. Elohim which is plural for El is used for Yahweh qualitatively. E.g Jehovah is the almighty God (Elohim). It shows quality. It's also used to refer to more than one god (gods) quantitatively. E.g Baal and dagon are gods (Elohim). Shows that they are more than one god. In Hebrew, a tree could be called "one trees", it means the tree has quality than other trees. 1 Like |

cornelboy:How is this your Biz? Elohim which is plural for El is used for Yahweh qualitatively. E.g Jehovah is the almighty God (Elohim). It shows quality. So why was the Angel (that fought Jacob and lost ) and Moses called Elohim? This is one of the flaw in the Bible. We don't join gods with Allah in anything! It is wrong! |

AntiChristian: Hubal (Arabic: هُبَل) was a god worshipped in pre-Islamic Arabia, notably by Quraysh at the Kaaba in Mecca. Muhammad's Allah is actually Hubal, i.e. the Baal of the Moabites. The daughters of Hubal i.e. Allat, al-ʿUzza and Manat, the three female goddess of pre-Islamic Arabia, are mentioned in the Qur'an. Quran 53:19-20 Do you -Meccans- see the idols Al Lat and Al 'Uzza you honour and revere and regard with extreme respect and devotion and another idol (Manat of the pagan Arabs), the other 3rd (as the daughters of Allah) Hubal was originally the proper name of Allah in Makkah... Allah was always a proper name in the Arabic sources and not a common noun, Allah was the title used within each tribe in Pre-islamic Arabia to address tribal deity instead of its proper name and that Allah became the Islamic substitute for the name of any idol. Hubal's known presence in the Kaʿbah, there is no polemic in the Qur'an against him. In other words, while the Qur'an railed against Allat, Manat, and al-ʿUzza, whom the pagan Arabs referred to as the "daughters of Allah", it stopped short of attacking the cult of Hubal. 1 Like 1 Share |

AntiChristian: Read what he wrote slowly. “ Hubal (Arabic: هُبَل) was a god worshipped in PRE-ISLAMIC Arabia, notably by Quraysh at the Kaaba in Mecca. Muhammad's Allah is actually Hubal, i.e. the Baal of the Moabites.” |

Maynman: Allah is not an Abrahamic god! He is the God that created Adam and Even Noah that came before Abraham. Allaah says of Nooh (Noah) (interpretation of the meaning): “And recite to them the news of Nooh (Noah). When he said to his people: ‘O my people, if my stay (with you), and my reminding (you) of the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allaah is hard on you, then I put my trust in Allaah. So devise your plot, you and your partners, and let not your plot be in doubt for you. Then pass your sentence on me and give me no respite. ‘But if you turn away (from accepting my doctrine of Islamic Monotheism, i.e. to worship none but Allaah), then no reward have I asked of you, my reward is only from Allaah, and I have been commanded to be of the Muslims (i.e. those who submit to Allaah’s Will)’” [Yoonus 10:71-72] |
