Elohim ~ The Creator
Genesis 1:1 says,
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." It literally
says, "In the beginning Elohim, Elohim created the heaven and the
earth." That's the Hebrew word from two root words: El, which means
strength and unlimited power. And the last part of is allah, which means to
keep a promise. Elohim is also a plural noun. I believe that right here on the
threshold of the Bible we see an indication of the nature of God, as shown in
the Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All
three were present in creation (see John 1:3). Aren't you glad we find the
Savior in chapter 1, verse 1? Aren't you glad we find the Holy Spirit in
chapter 1, verse 1? Aren't you glad we find the Father in chapter 1, verse 1 of
the Word of God?

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
