Re: Wrong...
That isn't even proof......
Elohim is plural yes.
Yahweh is sigular yes.
It nevers says they refer to the same thing. Yahweh fits into Elohim, because it simply means "mighty ones" but angels do too.
Cool its used in the OT, didn't disagree with that.
Keep your sarcastic comments flowing because that teaches me so much about your character

We know from reading the context of Gen 20 that Abimelech actually encountered the THREE persons known as Yahweh (i.e. ‘haelohim’…. ‘all the Gods’ ; Gen 20.06).
Thus, Abimelech understood that Abraham was speaking regarding the Triune God rather than as a polytheist.
Abraham later prays to the Trinity ‘haelohim’ (all the Gods) to heal Abimelech (Gen 20.17).

Relooking at the #1 part.
With the #2 not so much based on what I've explained to you as God manifestation. According to my position, angels can carry the name of God because they are his messengers. Abraham can pray to the angels, which carry God's name, and act in God's name. So the position still works in this scenario.

So with the #1 I'm not a hebrew scholar. Idk what credentials you have, but I know that Blueletterbible does a pretty good job. They don't say haelohim anywhere at least that I can read. If it does in the hebrew on top, I would think they would put it somewhere in the bottem. I personally feel safer with going with a source for bible study then on the word of a man I don't know anything about (no offense).

Re: Still jacked...
The Athanasian Creed explicitly says that Jesus is not the Father, and that the Father is not Jesus. Christian orthodoxy has never claimed that Jesus is the Father. Anyone who claimed that Jesus is the Father would be branded a heretic. Saying that Jesus is the Father is modalism, which I already explained in this thread.
As for discussing, John 10:30 let me again post this again:
Deuteronomy 32:39 (NASB, but feel free to look it up in whatever translation you prefer)
[SUP]39 [/SUP]‘See now that I, I am He,
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,
And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Notice here that Yahweh says :
1.) He gives life
2.) It is God who puts to death
3.) that no one can deliver from His hand
4.) that there is no god besides Him.
Isaiah 43:12-14 (NASB)
[SUP]12 [/SUP]“It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed,
And there was no strange god among you;
So you are My witnesses,” declares the LORD,
“And I am God.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]“Even [SUP][a][/SUP]from eternity I am He,
And there is none who can deliver out of My hand;
I act and who can reverse it?”
Just a note here, look at Isaiah 43:12 -- I don't know Hebrew, but I do know that the translators translated YHWH to LORD. I also am pretty sure that the word "God" here is translated from the word Elohim. This is a case where Yahweh Himself says that He is Elohim. If this is so, how can they be two different gods?
Again, Yahweh says this about Himself:
1.) there is none who can deliver out of His hand.
2.) He also says that from eternity, "I am He."
John 10:22-30 (NASB)
[SUP]22 [/SUP]At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; [SUP]23 [/SUP]it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. [SUP]24 [/SUP]The Jews then gathered around Him, and were saying to Him, “How long [SUP][b][/SUP]will You keep us in suspense? If You are [SUP][c][/SUP]the Christ, tell us plainly.” [SUP]25 [/SUP]Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. [SUP]26 [/SUP]But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. [SUP]27 [/SUP]My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; [SUP]28 [/SUP]and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. [SUP]29 [/SUP][SUP][d][/SUP]My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. [SUP]30 [/SUP]I and the Father are [SUP][e][/SUP]one.”
Now, let's look at the context of John 10:22-30.
Jesus claims these things:
1.) the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me
2.) I give eternal life to them (It is I who give life -- Deuteronomy 32:39)
3.) they will never perish (It is I who put to death -- Deuteronomy 32:39)
4.) no one will snatch them out of My hand. (There is no one who can deliver from My hand Deuteronomy 32:39; there is none who can deliver out of My Hand -- Isaiah 43:13)
Why?
My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
(So Jesus is essentially saying that what is true of the Father is also true of Him).
Ultimately because:
I and the Father are [SUP][e][/SUP]one.
(In other words, Jesus and the Father are the same God -- Yahweh.)
Now do you understand why the Jews considered this blasphemy?
His statement wasn't "We're one because we're one in purpose." To interpret John 10:30 as you do would not be blasphemy. The Jews only believed in one God, Yahweh. Jesus was making a direct claim in John 10 that He Himself was Yahweh, just as the Father is Yahweh.
This is the context of John 10.

I think we could also use the information in Deuteronomy 32:39 to show that the Holy Spirit also has to be Yahweh
Deuteronomy 32:39 (NASB, but feel free to look it up in whatever translation you prefer)
[SUP]39 [/SUP]‘See now that I, I am He,
And there is no god besides Me;
It is I who put to death and give life.
I have wounded and it is I who heal,
And there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
Notice here that Yahweh says :
1.) He gives life
2.) It is God who puts to death
3.) that no one can deliver from His hand
4.) that there is no god besides Him.
Why?
Because we are regenerated by the Holy Spirit
We are also sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked as His.
I'd have to go through the Bible to find an exact match here, but I think we can find something. I did find some OT passages a long time ago that showed that the Holy Spirit does things that only Yahweh can do. This had to do with things like leading people into truth and guiding them. I'll look again.

The Holy Spirit is Yahweh (God, Jehovah).
The easiest passage to demonstrate this with is in Acts chapter 5.
Acts 5:1-11, NASB
5 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, [SUP]2 [/SUP]and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s [SUP][a][/SUP]full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. [SUP]3 [/SUP]But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? [SUP]4 [/SUP]While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not [SUP][b][/SUP]under your control? Why is it that you have [SUP][c][/SUP]conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” [SUP]5 [/SUP]And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it. [SUP]6 [/SUP]The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. [SUP]8 [/SUP]And Peter responded to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land [SUP][d][/SUP]for such and such a price?” And she said, “Yes, [SUP][e][/SUP]that was the price.” [SUP]9 [/SUP]Then Peter said to her, “Why is it that you have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out as well.” [SUP]10 [/SUP]And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. [SUP]11 [/SUP]And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things.
1.) As we've said elsewhere in the thread, God says over and over again throughout the Bible that there is only one God, Yahweh
2.) Lying to the Holy Spirit = lying to God
Some denominations call the Holy Spirit the Holy Ghost. These terms mean the same thing.
The Holy Spirit is different from angels. One of the pastors at a church I used to attend said that the Holy Spirit is the empowering member of the Trinity.
Here are some passages of Scripture that show who the Holy Spirit is and some of the things that He does:
John 14:16-17 (NASB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]I will ask the Father, and He will give you another [SUP][b][/SUP]Helper, that He may be with you forever;[SUP]17 [/SUP]that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
John 14:25-27 (NASB)
[SUP]25 [/SUP]“These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. [SUP]26 [/SUP]But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. [SUP]27 [/SUP]Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
John 14:26-27 (NASB)
[SUP]26 [/SUP]“When the [SUP][h][/SUP]Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me, [SUP]27 [/SUP][SUP][i][/SUP]and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
John 15:12-15 (NASB)[SUP]12 [/SUP]“I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. [SUP]13 [/SUP]But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.[SUP]14 [/SUP]He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. [SUP]15 [/SUP]All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NASB)
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. [SUP]18 [/SUP]But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (NASB)
12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. [SUP]2 [/SUP]You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. [SUP]3 [/SUP]Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking [SUP][a][/SUP]by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is [SUP][b][/SUP]accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except [SUP][c][/SUP]by the Holy Spirit.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. [SUP]5 [/SUP]And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. [SUP]6 [/SUP]There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. [SUP]7 [/SUP]But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. [SUP]8 [/SUP]For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; [SUP]9 [/SUP]to another faith [SUP][d][/SUP]by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of [SUP][e][/SUP]healing [SUP][f][/SUP]by the one Spirit, [SUP]10 [/SUP]and to another the [SUP][g][/SUP]effecting of [SUP][h][/SUP]miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the [SUP][i][/SUP]distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. [SUP]11 [/SUP]But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.
Ephesians 1:13-14 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]In [SUP][q][/SUP]Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also [SUP][r][/SUP]believed, you were sealed in [SUP][s][/SUP]Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, [SUP]14 [/SUP]who is [SUP][t][/SUP]given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
Galatians 5:16-26 (NASB)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. [SUP]17 [/SUP]For the flesh [SUP][g][/SUP]sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you [SUP][h][/SUP]please. [SUP]18 [/SUP]But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. [SUP]19 [/SUP]Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: [SUP][i][/SUP]immorality, impurity, sensuality, [SUP]20 [/SUP]idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, [SUP][j][/SUP]factions, [SUP]21 [/SUP]envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. [SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [SUP]23 [/SUP]gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. [SUP]24 [/SUP]Now those who [SUP][k][/SUP]belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
[SUP]25[/SUP]If we live by the Spirit, let us also [SUP][l][/SUP]walk by the Spirit. [SUP]26 [/SUP]Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.
Does that help to answer your question?
