Who are the We in the Qu'ran? Isn't the God of Old, we do not understand, the Powers and Principalities? Governors in the "spirit" world? Are they perfect like God/Allah, and never make mistakes?
And weren't the people of Old fearless? Fighting wild animals almost daily in order to survive? So God/Allah
had to be hard with them? And hasn't God/Allah
eased our material burdens today, so we can make time for the spirit? But we waste our spiritual time running after
more material gain and cheap thrills?
And still, we blame God/Allah for our own wasted lives.How we can say God/Allah doesn't Love us, when we are so
insufferable, and worthy of death? Yet the Almighty
patiently waits, like the good Father of the Prodigal Son.
Until we tire of our foolishness, and return to our
spiritual Home?

U are correct! God has always been plural in any religious or ancient culture but the religious people try to hide this fact in order to maintain their concept. This was enforced by the translators. It's sad that most religious people are too lazy to do any research to find the truth of their sciptures.

Yes. However Christians interpret this to mean God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Some believe it is one God with three characteristics (Trinity). Others believe that it is three individuals who act as one.

Erm...i didnt really understand that whole thing very well...
1, i have been a christian all my life and i have never seen/heard/read the word elohim....dont even know how to say it. It is not in the Bible or a name for God as far as i know.
2. If what u r saying in the second part is what i think you are saying, i completely agree with you.

God refers to Himself as "Us" and "We" in the first three chapters of the book of Genesis. He also refers to "His Spirit" in those same chapters. I believe God Himself does this for a specific purpose. While we may have a hard time understanding all of Gods attributes, He specifically chose the descriptions
"Us" and "We" to give us a better understanding of Who and What He is.
God Bless You....Peace.

eloh im .. is in the original hebrew text
im ..means more than one .. the Father on His throne in heaven. the Son of glorified flesh in His throne at the Father's right hand. and the Holy Spirit at work on/in the earth. the tri-unity.
but all that is said on the first part of the op, makes no sense.
all that is said about 'we' in the last part, does not include me.

I don't know the context, but I'm willing to bet 'we' means all of us.
