It is inconsistent to insist that the word “Elohim” identifies a “plurality” of “persons” when referring to God, and then turn right around and insist that the same word in other places identifies a “singular” (one) person only. Shouldn’t the word “trio” always mean “more” than one regardless of where it is used … or who it is referring to?

It seems to me like it should.

Now, notice the “singular”

(NOT plural) references to God in this very small sampling of scriptures which follows:

Deuteronomy 4:35

Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD (YHWH <Jehovah> – Strong’s # 3068) “He” is God; there is none else beside “Him.” (The LORD <SINGULAR> … “He” <SINGULAR> … is God.

There is no plurality in this scripture … there are no associates with God.)

Deuteronomy 4:39

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD (YHWH <Jehovah> – Strong’s # 3068) “He” is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. (The LORD <SINGULAR> is God. No plurality here either … still no associates.)

Deuteronomy 7:9

Know therefore that the LORD (YHWH <Jehovah> – Strong’s # 3068) thy God, “He” is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love “Him” and keep “His” commandments to a thousand generations;

(The LORD <SINGULAR> is God. Still no plurality … still no associates.)

Joshua 2:11

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD (YHWH <Jehovah> – Strong’s # 3068) your God, “He” is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

(The LORD <SINGULAR> … Nope! No plurality and no associates here either.)

Psalms 100:3

Know ye that the LORD (YHWH <Jehovah> – Strong’s # 3068) “He” is God: it is “He” that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are “His” people, and the sheep of “His” pasture. (THE LORD <SINGULAR> is God who made us.)

2 Samuel 22:32

For who is God, save the LORD (YHWH <Jehovah> – Strong’s # 3068) ? and who is a rock, save our God? (THE LORD <SINGULAR> is God.)

 

Now I would like to share with you some places in the Bible where the Hebrew word “Elohim” (Strong’s # 430)

is used where it DEFINITELY does NOT refer to God … but is definitely referring to ONE … NOT two, or three … ONE!

And in so doing, I submit to you that those who use this word in an effort to assert a plurality of “persons” of GOD are only doing so in an effort to support the man made theory of three “persons” of God.

And according to Leviticus 19:36; Ezekiel 45:10; Proverbs 11:1; and Micah 6:11 … as well as the following scriptures … is a double standard (an unjust balance),

a definite abomination in the sight of God! Now, here’s the examples which I offer as proof that the use of the word Elohim should NOT be used by anyone to “imply” or suggest that the “Hear O Israel, the LORD our God is ONE LORD” of Deuteronomy 6:4

is actually MORE than one LORD … OR more than ONE PERSON.

Exodus 7:1

And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430)

to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. –

(Moses was one)

Deuteronomy 32:39

See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god

(ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

(There is no other “person” or “persons” with God)

Judges 6:31

And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430),

let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.

(baal was one)

Judges 9:27

And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430),

and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.

(the house of their god was one)

Judges 9:46

And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) Berith. -(berith was one)

Judges 11:24

Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess. -(chemosh was one)

Judges 16:23

Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430),

and to rejoice: for they said,

Our god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand. -(dagon was one)

Judges 16:24

And when the people saw him, they praised their god

(ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430):

for they said, Our god

(ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.

(their god, dagon, was one)

1 Kings 11:33

Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess

(ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) of the Moabites, and Milcom the god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430) of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father. -(here we have ELOHIM being used individually to describe ashtoreth, chemosh, and milcom … each of whom were still only one … not a plurality)

1 Kings 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god (ELOHIM -Strong’s # 430);

either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. -(baal was one)

 

Thus far, we have seen where the LORD <SINGULAR> “HE” is God, and we’ve seen where the Hebrew word ELOHIM (Strong’s # 430) is used where it is NOT referring to a plurality of more than ONE.

Yet we have so called Bible scholars who insist that when “ELOHIM” is used in reference to God, it is plural because they theorize there are three “persons” of God … which is total nonsense! The three co-equal “persons” theory of the Godhead evolved several centuries AFTER Christ, and is polytheistic and/or attempts to portray God as three separate “persons” who make up one family/household, or either portrays God as one “person” with “three heads” …. both of which are ludicrous (and blasphemous, in my opinion).

I fear for people who see no harm in this man made doctrine … especially those who vigorously defend and propagate it.

I’m telling you in the fear of God it is diametrically opposed to the Apostles’ One God Monotheistic Doctrine. And I am warning people to turn away from it, and turn to the Apostles’ One God Monotheistic Doctrine as found very plainly in the Bible … in simple language, and understood without the need of a slide ruler, a law degree, or a library full of books, commentaries and research material.
