If Elohim only means-more than one god, then why is the term used in the Tanakh
where the doctrine of ONE God is repeatedly taught?
“Moreover, if God is a single Being, then why is the plural Hebrew noun elohim (literally "gods") used for God repeatedly? In fact, this plural noun is in the...
Guess what, chemicals actually exist. Chemistry actually works. There are models and experiments that show that amino acids can arise naturally.
Now, where are the creator gods? Where is your version? What are the methods these gods use to create? So far believers offer nothing but bad...
Simple?
That’s an extraordinary claim.
If you don’t think so, then please, I’d like you to explain why it’s never been duplicated…why a replicating cell hasn’t been created de novo.
Defend it.
And this is another error, claiming God only has magic. He’s a Builder, an Engineer, a “Creator.”...
You are a little late to the party you entered into.
All the things you present have been shown to be false and discredited a long time ago.
Would you enter a Maths Doctorate class and start asking how multiplication works or that you’d discovered a way to generate Pythagorean triplets?
The plurality of the One God is revealed from the beginning and throughout the scriptures...
“The Bible presents a God who did not need to create any beings to experience love, communion and fellowship. This God is complete in Himself, being three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, separate...
There is a stark contrast between what you think, and what Bible writers knew... as stated by them.
Job spoke about the work of God's hands (Job 14:15)
David wrote about creation being the work of God's hands.
(Psalm 19:1) The heavens are declaring the glory of God; The skies above proclaim the...
Very interesting and informative
And yet, I would still hold that the three are one as expressed clearly in:
Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: -
Just like man is three (spirit, soul and body) and yet one.
I doubt people would wait a significant amount of time until Jesus performed miracles to believe Mary, even with these prophecies. The Quran mentions a more detailed post birth events in which she is confronted by her people carrying Jesus and was accused of having extra marital relations, and...
the bible teaches polytheism.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, Let Us make mankind in Our image.
Ecclesiastes12:1
Remember also your Creators in the days of your youth.
Isaiah 54:5

Good questions... and I don't think I have had anyone ask those questions.
It isn't just that one thing that happened to Mary that qualified her (although, to my knowledge, no other virgin had a baby... but rather a multiplicity of reasons:
You have her cousin Elizabeth who also had a child...
Monotheism isn't solidified until the middle of Isaiah. El was the most high god in the times the NT was written. There was an assembly of gods, which Yahweh was one. The gods under El were called "sons of god." Yahwists added Yahweh and morphed him and El together. It's interesting to see the...
Genesis 1;26 is where the Trinity is mentioned in the Old Testament. What does it mean when God said, “Let Us make man in Our image” (Genesis 1:26)? | GotQuestions.org
I wonder why you added the letter 's' after Creator because the old Hebrew Scriptures (Tanach)do Not have the added 's'.
That I find also stands true for the verse in Isaiah.
As far as the 'let us... ' found at Genesis 1:26 it is God speaking to his first heavenly creation - Revelation 3:14 B...
Then look at the context. In Proverbs 8, Wisdom speaks as a separate person and claims to have created the world with God, so here we have at least "two" creators.
The OT makes it clear that there is "more than" one creator. One God who is a unity,
Ecclesiastes12:1
Remember also your Creators...
"God" is a (translated) word which applies collectively to two beings.
It is not extremely clear in the OT that this is the case, but the being Moses saw the back parts of (in his glorious body) was actually the Word (Logos) who later became Christ ("before Abraham was, I am"). The same was...
You have misunderstood pluralis majestatis completely and it shows in you associating with the plural "kings". It was one of the most absurd associations I have ever heard in all of the Christian apologetics I have heard so far in trying to make the "let us" into a plural of numbers. Anyway what...
It's well known that ancient Jews were polytheistic. But, one God was more powerful, and jealous. So, if you worship wrong God, or give him any notice, you might incur the wrath of the most powerful God. Hence, the religion changed to monotheism.
