Why believe a God created everything? The original book of Genesis doesn't use the word God. It uses Elohim?

Question

I did look it up
Elohim in ancient Hebrew, "those who came from the sky"

Answer 1

Sara, you are correct. Elohim is a plural meaning sky gods, or those who came from the sky.

It's obvious that these christian 'scholars' desperately need some hebrew lessons. You'd think they'd want to study Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, if they are so all-fired sure their book is the "word of God".

Answer 2

very good question.
In the Bible, God is very often referred to as ‘Elohim’ in the Hebrew language. The ‘im’ in the ending is a plural of honour

Hebrew and Arabic are sister languages therefore we muslims say Allah’

in hebrew, its "eloh"

but the fact is that Jesus spoke Aramaic. In aramaic language,

ALAAHAA = God

here is the proof from aramaic language website

Answer 3

The word "elohim" actually means God. Look it up.

In Strong's Hebrew Concordance, the non-plural form of ĕlôhîym, ĕlôahh, means "a deity or the deity". Using THIS knowledge, ĕlôhîym would literally mean "gods."

Answer 4

Yes, the three-part Hebrew name for God.

Answer 5

Elohim, Jehovah, I Am, what ever the name the bible uses, it is still God the creator.

Answer 6

I don't believe in a creator, but I do believe in the cyclical progressive continuum of life, which requires no savior. Does this make me wierd?

Answer 7

The original text didn't use any English words, I don't understand the point.

Answer 8

Rather a matter of language semantic, isn't that?

Answer 9

Duh, it was written in Hebrew first not English.
