Page 27 - Elohim - Almighty Godhead

Compared to the revelational Name “ELOHIM” (“the Almighty Godhead”) the
substituted singular Name “GOD” is quite “generic”, don’t you think? Let me give
you a vivid illustration: If I told you that today I saw a “bird”, that would be quite
a vague and generic description, true? However, if I rather told you that today I
saw a “Peacock”, you would instantly have a vivid picture in your mind. “Bird” is
a generic term. “Peacock” is a specific term. “God” is a generic term. “Elohim” is
a specific term.

Beware when the Almighty pens a very specific plural word in describing His
Personage, and man, without justifiable cause, replaces it with a singular generic
substitute. On what basis does man freely substitute with his own generic preferred
choice something that the Almighty has chosen to identify His specific Personage?
Such willful bias originates from Rabbinical Judaism’s strong influence on the
translators. Rabbinical Judaism wants to always depict a singular “God” image
rather than a plural Godhead!
The Name “ELOHIM” was specifically chosen by the Almighty 2,197 times in
Scripture to show plainly a Triune Godhead that functions by means of “plurality in
unity” and not so that man could take it upon himself to freely substitute the
singular generic name “GOD” in place of the specific plural Name of “ELOHIM”-
the Almighty Godhead! Remember this illuminating truth:

“EVERY NAME OR TITLE OF GOD
REVEALS SOME ATTRIBUTE OF THE DIVINE CHARACTER OF GOD.
IN STUDYING GOD’S WORD, WE LEARN NEW FACTS ABOUT GOD’S NATURE

WITH EACH NEW NAME BY WHICH HE REVEALS HIMSELF.
IN OTHER WORDS, GOD NAMES HIMSELF WHAT HE IS!”

Institutes of Biblical Law, R. J. Rushdooney.
