I cannot decipher from that reply whether you think Elohim in Gen. 1 does or does not refer to God as Being One/Triune Creator.
It does not. Christians have assigned that meaning in ignorance.
 
But really,what is orthodoxy except a frame that contains what is permitted to be made public?
Just as is Canonized texts.
You have a low view of Scripture. “Permitted to be made public”? That is not faithful Christian doctrine; it’s fearful tyranny.
 
Using the words Yeshua and Yahweh are typically related to the Hebrew Roots movement of Judaizers who want Christians to become Jewish.
 
I am not sure about that. You have proof for that statement?
Moses was educated in Egypt, which at that time a big empire.
Pre Moses, there were Joseph, Abraham, Noah Adam... I would think they had some kind of written language.


Less than 4000? Moses was about 1500 bc.

Not sure about it. Old Asian language is from left to right.

Again, not sure it is Moses who created Hebrew language.

Same religion?
Moses believe in the true God, only Christians do that. Christians are all nations.

What claim?
Try looking at a levitical calendar....

What year is it?

That year they left Egypt was year 1.

And it's been 2000 years since Jesus. 1500 years? Huh? Where did you get that number?

Same God and religion. Old Covenant and New Covenant with the SAME God.

Nobody today worships any god from any religion 2000 years ago much less from 6,000 years ago. And Judaism is also still practice.
 
It does not. Christians have assigned that meaning in ignorance.

I doubt Christ (Mark 10:6) and Paul (Rom. 1:20, Acts 17:24) and Peter (2Pet. 3:5) would agree with you,
although it is true that in John 10:34-35 Jesus cited the problematic usage of elohim as "gods" in Psa. 82:1-6.

Jesus said nothing regarding Psalm 82 that suggests the use of elohim there was “problematic”. Your position pits Scripture against Scripture.

That year they left Egypt was year 1.
Adam was born that's about year 1.

Moses was about 2500 years after Adam, and 1500 years before baby Jesus born.

See above

Agree. Jesus, same God, Jesus is God. Trinity God forever

Today Judaism reject Jesus, reject trinity God. Please ask any Judaism person, they say the worst thing about Jesus.
Get your fact straight.

I guess I misunderstood you as thinking the use of elohim to refer to God was problematic,
so I thought acknowledging John 10:34-35 was conceding you a point.

Anyway, I cited the other NT references to elohim as Creator to show the proper understanding, possibly even
foreshadowing the meaning of triune Godhead.
 
@Churchgoer use the link above to see the year according to the jews.

Its year 5786.
Meaning 5, 786 years since Moses led the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
400 years previously....Jacob and family went into Egypt to be with Joseph who was in charge.

However....we are using a different calendar.
And its 2026 AD.
AD is Latin for "After Diety" meaning after Jesus. Meaning it's been 2,026 years since Jesus was born.
 
Adam was born that's about year 1.

Moses was about 2500 years after Adam, and 1500 years before baby Jesus born.

please ask any scholar, Jewish calendar year 1 is Adam and eve, creation week. Not Moses year at all.

You are correct on AD, kind of, it is Latin, anno domini.

When we say something, we should stay with facts. Let your yes be yes, let your no be no.

But I think you are very honest, this is only a honest mistake.

I remember in one meeting, someone said something about vibration, I know he is totally wrong, since I worked on vibration technology for many decades.

The point is if we state something, we should at least convince ourselves it is true. Because we don't know in audience, there are experts out there.

Blessings.

I always got a kick out of people who insert words from different dialects and languages just to sound more spiritual. These are often the people who think prayer time was always a teaching/correcting time.

"Oh Lord Yeshua, forgive Aaron56 for using the Greek word for your name and not the proper name you are referred to in heaven and in some Republican National Conventions. Now, we ask you to bless our food, Lord Yeshua. For only you, Lord Yeshua, are the Savior conservatives. And no matter that my wife is estranged from me and my children do not speak to me any more, let them know that it was their fault I became angry with them for mixing two types of material in one garment... as you word states. In your holy name, again, it's Yeshua, and in the glory of the dozens of 10 Commandments plaques that adorn the walls of my home, Amen."
I agree, I speak English, so I of think in English.

Sadly,there are no true scholars or experts on these boards. Which is likely why opinions clash among the faithful.

The Trolls and pretenders are committed to disruption. Therefore,they are only qualified for those efforts.

Research it on internet. Just have some basic knowledge so one would know how to get some truth out of internet.
Moses time as year 1 in Jewish calendar, this is too far off.

The matter of fact is no matter whicg expert said what thing, we need to prove it by ourselves too. So we will not get tricked to wrong stuff.

Yes.
Another thing that plagued community online are those who claim they teach what they post. Or,worse,are ministers ,preachers, pastor's,of The Word.

When reading their threads or posts after,I think that ,if they're being truthful,is what contributes to those they teach later defending on forums like this , false doctrine.

This is the reason internet can just be an entertainment.
Local church is much better place. Know everyone, know the teachers, can learn and debate in real world.
