Answer 1

While the English word is singular in number, the meaning of it can refer to a plural form of the one true God.

Answer 2

Singular

Answer 3

There are several words in scripture that are translated as "God," or names of God in the original Hebrew. Hebrew, like French or Spanish, etc. is a "gendered" language - every noun is assigned a gender, which you can tell by spelling and suffixes. Some examples are (off the top of my head):

El - singular, masculine
Elyon - plural, masculine
Eloah - singular, feminine
Elohim - plural, masculine
Shaddai - feminine, plural
Shekinah - feminine, singular
YHVH (Tzeva'ot) - masculine, singular
Yah (short form of YHVH) - feminine

All of these words are usually translated as just "God" or "Lord" in English Bibles, or are in phrases such as in "God Almighty" or "Lord of Hosts."

Also, if you are also thinking of the writings of the apostles, in the original Hebrew they read:

Yeshua - masculine, singular (real Hebrew name of the messiah) [there's no "j" in the Hebrew language.]

Emmanuel - masculine, singular

Torah - feminine (the "word" Yeshua is said to be, incarnate)
(greek: logos)

Binah (from proverbs, "wisdom," said to be present at creation, referring to Yeshua) - Feminine

Adon (Adonai) - masculine, singular (title).

All of these forms of God exist in heaven and can appear in bodily form on earth, or can indwell a human body. In heaven, YHVH the Father has His throne, and hasatan is also there, "accusing people day and night." Since even YHVH is, therefore, a form of God that can tolerate, somewhat, the presence of evil and rebellion and can even appear on earth (and had lunch with Abraham, for example), there are some theological problems. So in Hebraic thought, there is a form of God that is His highest, spiritual, bodiless form that is outside of heaven and earth (space and time) as we know it. This is the form of God that Moses asked YHVH to show him on Mt. Sinai - when YHVH told him that was a bad idea because people who are exposed to God in that form usually die. In Judaism, this form is called the Ain Sof and it is absolutely holy and it is this form of God that the Bible says causes death to look upon. Sin and evil are destroyed in the Ain Sof's presence. These words "Ain sof" translate as adjectives, meaning "without end" i.e. "eternal" and it is only this name of God that has no gender. It is far beyond gender.

Answer 4

Both. Both at the same time, both at once. One word is the word and the rest of the words("word" often refers to the whole text of the Bible, it's the "word", or part of it(it being bible , that is)) and then it becomes, or can become plural or singular, it all becomes the "word" of god.

Answer 5

It depends on how or when it's used. El is the Hebrew word for God. Elohim is the plural form of that word. Elshadai, IsraEl, Elijah, Elias... are words and names with the word God in it.
Elohim is used many times in the Hebrew texts.
Not sure if that is what you were asking, but I hope it helps.

Answer 6

Whew, an easy one! "God" is singular.

"Elohim," a Hebrew word translated "God" in the Bible, on the other hand, is plural.

Answer 7

singular is god, plural is gods

Answer 8

God is might singular but sure that it is noun yeah

Answer 9

God is singular. If your religion is monotheistic. If you're religion is polytheistic, then you would worship gods.

Answer 10

I think it depends on the religion or how you interpret it.In christianity God is the father,the son and the holy ghost three different things yet they are all one.
