Chapter 39 - THE KING OF ISRAEL

Continued from Chapter 38 (Psalms 45:7-8) Psalms 45:7-8 reads: “Your throne, God [’Elohim], is for ever and ever; a scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness; therefore God [’Elohim], your God [’Elohecha], has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.” In particular, we are interested in the literal text of Psalms 45:7a which states, “Your throne God [’Elohim] is forever and ever.” The overall context shows that an ear

ONENESS OF GOD - The Meaning of Elohim

Continued from Introduction Part 1 THE JEWISH SCRIPTURES THE JEWISH RESPONSE TO MISSIONARY CHRISTIANITY Chapter 1 THE MEANING OF ’ELOHIM (Genesis 1:1) Genesis 1:1, states: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Here the word for God is ’Elohim, having a plural form as though it meant “gods.” Trinitarians maintain that this is proof that God is a plurality.

And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled with

Chapter 16 - ’EL, ’ELOHIM AND Y-H-V-H

Continued from Chapter 15 (Joshua 22:22, Psalms 50:1) Trinitarian Christians make use of ’El, ’Elohim and Y-H-V-H, employed in Joshua 22:22: “’El, ’Elohim, Y-H-V-H, ’El, ’Elohim, Y-H-V-H” [“God, God, the Lord, God, God, the Lord”] and Psalms 50:1: “’El, ’Elohim, Y-H-V-H”, as proof of their doctrine. In actuality, these three distinct appellations are juxtaposed for the express purpose of heightening the effect, and they do not at all imply that God is a triune personality. Using the names in
