Why was Moses called Elohim. Elohim is plural. So is Moses several people or one person?
Your contention was in your post that Elohim being plural means its plural in numbers. So was Moses more than one person? Plural in numbers.
So I think you understand this question clearly.
did I not answer that? moses is not a Plurality, or the ECHAD of himself, nor is he of God, in the Godhead. which require "ANOTHER" of one's-self., lets bring this numerical dofference out clearly. First step, as for calling him god, did you not read the definition? listen,
H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m.
אֱלֹהֵי 'elohiy (el-o-hee') [alternate plural]
1. (literally) supreme ones.
2. (hence, in the ordinary sense) gods.
3. (specifically, in the plural, especially with the article) the Supreme God (i.e. the all supreme).
4. (sometimes) supreme, used as a superlative.
5. (occasionally, by way of deference) supreme magistrates, the highest magistrates of the land.
6. (also) the supreme angels (entities of unspecified type).
[plural of H433]
KJV:
angels, X exceeding, God (
gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great,
judges, X mighty.
Root(s): H433
note definition #3 vs definition #2. distinction is made, likewise as with Moses, and the TRUE God. also the (kjv) can also translate this word as
angels, judges also. but understand there is no "god"
with God, in or outside the Godhead, listen and Learn. Deuteronomy 32:39 "See now that
I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand."
so Moses cannot be in the Godhead.... period. but Jesus as the Ordin First and Last is.... listen, John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God." see that "
WITH" here in the Verse? THIS IS THE "ECHAD" OF GOD AS "FIRST", AND "LAST".
with indicate the Plurality of God, here in John 1, as one person in the ECHAD., of EQUAL SHARE listen and Learn the NUMERICAL DIFFEREBCE... Step #2. Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
I the LORD,
the first,
and with the last; I am he." did you see the "
with" there? it sounds like two people, do it not?, just as in John 1:1 the Word was "
WITH" God. the answer is NO, it's only ONE person, the same one person, because we have the bible to reveal it unto us, listen and learn, Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called;
I am he;
I am the first,
I also am the last." now p[lease tell us is the First is "
ALSO" the Last two separate, and distinct person? no, the bible is clear, the First is ... "
ALSO" the Last, the same one person, just as in nJohn 1:1c "and the Word was God", yes, with him, but is HIM in the ECHAD of NUMERICAL DIFFERENCE. this is clearly seen in the OT as well as the NT of "ANOTHER", listen and Learn, using the Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words . "ANOTHER", it is the Greek word, G243 Allos. , "Allos expresses
a numerical difference and denotes
another of the same sort" there is your NUMERICAL DIFFERENCE. just as in the OT of the term Adam/Man as in mankind, the "ANOTHER" of ONE SELF., listen and Learn,
H120 אָדָם 'adam (aw-dawm') n-m.
ruddy i.e. a human being (an individual
or the species, mankind, etc.).
[from H119]
KJV:
X another, + hypocrite, + common sort, X low, man (mean, of low degree), person.
Root(s): H119
God is not a species with the "s" at the end, but one of a KIND, just as man is a KIND of another, for see how the kjv can translate Adam/Man.....
x another"
the OT as well as the NY confirm this ECHAD of God as the "ANOTHER" of himself. so there is no two, or three persons in the Godhead...
is this not Apodictic enough for you? do you not say you believe the bible, well hear it. hope this helps.
