I was wondering when you think of G-d, do you define your concept as a noun or a verb?


G-d is a bad translation.. should be Elohim.. Elohim means many different things but is usually plural as a noun in a Title and a verb as a function (ie judge)but i am not the best in English verbs and nouns..

so it can be both but (Elohim) is of Yahweh's family under his direction.. when Elohim is spoken of in any sence its speaking of the power/authority given by Yahweh and its the same as coming from him.

G-d what does it mean? Scriptures say thier are many of them and they are not Holy.. do not have his authority. so G-d is nothing to me.. Thats my opinion at least.


The word God/Elohim is a very interesting discussion. It's something I've never really looked into before, but after having looked into the origins and what not, it's making alot of things make sense.

"Elohim" is a plural word. But not specifically. I'll try to explain.

Elohim itself is a singular word so to speak, but can be speaking of multiple "beings/entities".

For instance, the word "ice". Where there is lots of ice, it doesn't change to ices. It is still said to be "ice".

It is a title.

The word "country" is a singular word, referring to possibly multiple people.

The word "government" is singular, but again referring to possibly multiple people.

And is why/how Jesus could say "The father and I are one". That's not saying they are one entity or one being specifically.

And so forth, I can't think of any better examples off the top of my head, and I apologize for that.

You could not say "Elohims",there is no such thing, just as there's no thing as "dears" and so forth.

G-d is anything we think it is...
It is in our minds, our imaginations....
No two concepts of G-d are alike, since no two people are identical in their thoughts.....
