What Does "Elohim" Really Mean, God or gods or both? by AntiChristian: 3:14pm On Jul 17, 2023
The concept of God/god (Elohim) in the Bible is deceptive and can easily be translated as one wishes.

Son of God
In the Bible we see that Moses was God for Pharaoh, Satan is the God of the world, Sons of God came to sleep with humans, God fought Jacob and lost, Jesus is the son of God, Even you are Gods. Most of these Gods are from "Elohim" in Hebrew. Elohim which can be translated as "gods" can be used in the singular sense for God, for god, Angels, Superhuman, and for people of authority such as a Judge or ruler.

Elohim as God aka Yahweh
Take note that in Gen 1:1 In the Beginning God (Elohim) created the heaven and earth.

Used as gods
Now I know that the LORD (Yahweh) is greater than all other gods (Elohim), for he did this to those who had treated Israel arrogantly.” Exo 18:11

“Whoever sacrifices to any god (Elohim) other than the LORD (Yahweh) must be destroyed. Exo 22:20

As an Angel (Cos i don't think Jacob can fight God.)
“Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.” Gen 32:28

Humans are God (Elohim)
Then the LORD (Yahweh) said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God (Elohim) to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet. Exo 7:1

“I said, ‘You are “gods"(Elohim); you are all sons of the Most High.’ Psalm 82:6

Where did you get your own version from, I am expecting you to name the version you get it from as simple as ABC


AntiChristian:

Deuteronomy 13 from 6
If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods "(Elohim)” (which neither you nor your fathers have known, 7the gods (Elohe) of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other), 8you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.

It is proven from the Bible that Elohim = gods/God/Man/Angel etc!

But you can prove such from the Qur'an that Allah = gods!

Never!

I don't need your wikipedia or other online sources!

The bible and quran are written in a language.
Elohim and Allah means same thing, the “allah” in your quran is hubal.

Both you and christians are abrahamaic gods worshipper, you shooting yourself in the foot.

That’s what they said Allah said in a book.

Allah and Elohim means same thing.
Al lah means “the gods”.
Elohim means “the gods”.
It could be use as singular too.
Yahweh, hubal, zeus, ogun, marduk are all gods/allah.

In the quraysh kabal, Hubal was the head god, Allah.

The Prophet ordered the destruction of all idols!

And I didn't see Abraham and his son Ishmael in your story!

Yea but not the black stones that represented them.
The idols were placed side by side with the stones pre-islamic, other kaabas also had their own stones with different colors, but the one in quraysh was black.

You can start from the etymology of the word “allah”.
