Question: In the Hebrew Bible from where our Bible stems from it is read at Genesis 1:1 when ELOHIM created the Earth and the Sky. Now I found out that ELOHIM is plural for superiors or gods or whatever. What explanation can we give to this simple fact?
IMO, the “plural” applies to the Three Persons of the Godhead:
(God The Father;) Who was/is seen in the 1st. Covenant; and became the “friend” of Abraham, Gen.18:3, and Isa. 41:8, and Moses, Ex. 33:11 and 33:17–23.
(God The Son;) Who is seen in the 2nd. Covenant; and Who became the “offering for the Sin of the world”, and called His Disciples “friends”, John 15:15.
(God The Holy Spirit;) sent by Jesus to Earth as “The Comforter” John 14:16 and 26; and “Restrainer” 2Thess. 2:6–7); after His Ascension, Who is here to help all sincere seekers to find the Truth, and to Restrain Satan until the events of the “last days” of this Age!
