Yesterday, my friend asked me to study the bible in her church, WMSCOG.
It was my 2nd study at the WMSCOG. Actually, my first study subject was God the Mother.
One deaconess taught me about 'Eloim' God.
It was my first time to hear that.
She said that in the Hebrew language, the term for God is 'Eloim' which means Gods.
And it is written more than 2,500 times that God was 'Eloim'.
I was speechless.
Is here anyone who can teach me about this?
1. What is the true meaning of 'Eloim' in the Bible?
2. Why did God say himself 'Eloim' more than 2,500 times?
Is there anyone who can explain this to me?
Thank you.
its not okay to just accuse people of being liars… I have been accused of being a liar, a secret korean, a zillion other things all untrue and unfounded
Experiencing WMSCOG in his life can make a person distrustful but always remember… Fight evil with good, everyone. Romans 12:21. Don't forget that.
Don't let evil haul you in too.hear hear

Elohim (אֱלֹהִ֔ים) is a grammatically singular or plural noun for "god" or "gods" in both modern and ancient Hebrew language.
When used with singular verbs and adjectives elohim is usually singular, "god" or especially, the God. When used with plural verbs and adjectives elohim is usually plural, "gods" or "powers".<sup class=”reference” id=”cite_ref-1″ style=”line-height: 1em; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;”>[1]<sup class=”reference” id=”cite_ref-2″ style=”line-height: 1em; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;”>[2] It is generally thought that Elohim is a formation fromeloah, the latter being an expanded form of the Northwest Semitic noun il (אֵל, ʾēl<sup class=”reference” id=”cite_ref-DDD_3-0″ style=”line-height: 1em; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;”>[3]). It is usually translated as "God" in the Hebrew Bible, referring with singular verbs both to the one God of Israel, and also in a few examples to other singular pagan deities. With plural verbs the word is also used as a true plural with the meaning "gods".<sup class=”reference” id=”cite_ref-DDD_3-1″ style=”line-height: 1em; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;”>[3] The related nouns eloah (אלוה) and el (אֵל) are used as proper names or as generics, in which case they are interchangeable with elohim.<sup class=”reference” id=”cite_ref-DDD_3-2″ style=”line-height: 1em; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate;”>[3]
