Deuteronomy 6 : 4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: ?

Question

The Hebrew Language has two different words for the word ONE. The first is singular and the other is a collective - unit…

The word “one” translated here meant UNIT…do you know the other names of God?

Deuteronomy 6 : 4Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one (UNIT) LORD:

This is one of the names:

From Hebrew:
Theophany –An appearance of a god to a human; a divine manifestation.

Thank you ms. Blue

OK...what are his other names?

El Shaddai?

Immanuel? God with us

Answer 1

Elohim is a greater-than-two plural (implying three). It is the first name used for god in the Bible.

The Old Testament also has the Tetragrammaton or JHWH formula for god, which corresponds to Jehovah. Another Old Testament word for god is Adonai, which means "Lord." Also in the Talmud, they refer to god as Hashem, which means literally "the man [upstairs?]"

In the New Testament we also have the Greek Kyrie, which means "Lord."

Answer 2

You seem to be asking 2 different questions. The word that is translated as "one" in Deut. 6:4 is "Echad". The word "Echad" is also translated in Psalms 133:1 as "Unity" It is also used in Gen. 2:21 to refer to one of Adams ribs. Rambam used the word Yachid (one singular) to refer to God as one but I cant seem to find this word used in the bible. (could be there and I didn't look hard enough). The word "Echad is not considered to be a name of God. The other part of your question seems to come from "Elohim" which is a name of God. The name "Elohim" is plural and there is some confusion as to why. One interesting theory I have recently encountered is that the since the singular of Elohim
( EL ) can be translated as "power", then "Elohim should be understood as "powers'' rather than a plural of "God".

Answer 3

good question! ;-) First we restoration: Jehovah is the single genuine God the Jews worshipped. 2d: whilst Jesus got here to earth, he teached his fellowers to desire to the God whose call is Jehovah, whose call could be held holy. 0.33: Jesus says he's the way, the fact, the existence - "no one includes the daddy different than by me" (John 14:6). the way leads (could desire to lead) to the daddy, and in accordance the Hebrew Scriptures, the daddy is Jehovah, the single and in ordinary terms God. end: Jesus and Jehovah are 2 distinctive persons, Jesus leads his fellowers to Jehovah. to envision out: Jesus and God are actually not an analogous guy or woman: John 14:28 John 20:17 Matt. 26:39 John 14:6b John 8:28-29 John 10:15 John 14:10 God created Jesus: Col. a million:15-17 Rev. 3:14 God is the top of Jesus: a million Cor. 11:3 a million Cor. 15:27-28 who's God: Deut. 6:4 Isaiah 40 5:5 The trinity doctrine melted into christendom in the 4th century. the 1st christians and apostles did not believe this doctrin, and that they could desire to have customary greater advantageous, because of the fact they have been teached by Jesus himself.

Answer 4

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shema_Yisrael

Originally, the Shema consisted only of one verse: Deuteronomy 6:4



The literal word meanings are roughly as follows:

Shema (A three part word) — listen, or hear and "act on"
Yisrael — Israel, in the sense of the people or congregation of Israel
Adonai — often translated as "Lord", it is used in place of the Tetragrammaton
Eloheinu — our God, the word "El" or "Elohei" signifying God (see also: Elohim), and the plural possessive determiner suffix "nu" or "einu" signifying "our"
Echad — the Hebrew word for "1" (the number)

According to patristic tradition, El was the first Hebrew name of God.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_%28god%29#.C4.92l_in_Christian_theology

Elohim:
In one view, predominant among monotheists, the word is plural in order to augment its meaning and form an abstraction meaning "Divine majesty".
Among orthodox Trinitarian Christian writers it is sometimes used as evidence for the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. This is regarded as fanciful by some secular linguists and some biblical scholars.
In another view that is more common among a range of secular scholars, heterodox Christian and Jewish theologians and polytheists, the word's plurality reflects early Judaic polytheism. They argue it originally meant "the gods", or the "sons of El," the supreme being. They claim the word may have been singularized by later monotheist priests who sought to replace worship of the many gods of the Judean pantheon with their own singular patron god YHWH alone.

In all honesty, there is little scholarly consensus regarding the religious implications of Deut. 6:4.... I wish it were that simple, and I hope this was as informative to all as it was to me.

Answer 5

A collective unit being? Three?

What if I said it was FIVE?

***An analysis of the Nash Papyrus text reveals that all of its 24 lines are incomplete, with a word or letters missing at both ends. It contains parts of the Ten Commandments from Exodus chapter 20, along with some verses from Deuteronomy chapters 5 and 6. So this was not a regular Bible manuscript but a mixed text with a special purpose. It was evidently part of an instructional collection to remind a Jew of his duty to God. A section of scripture commencing with Deuteronomy 6:4, called the She ma, was frequently repeated. That verse reads: “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah.”

The Deprogramming, YHWH, “Jehovah,” in this verse is visible twice on the last line of the papyrus, and it occurs in five other places. It also appears once with its first letter missing.

The Shema in particular was meant to emphasize “the single personality of God.” According to the Jewish Talmud (Berakoth 19a), the concluding word, ’E·chadh′ (“One”), “should be specially emphasized while it was being enunciated by holding out each syllable.” (W. O. E. Oesterley and G. H. Box) In reference to God, this lengthened ’E·chadh′ also proclaimed his uniqueness.

Answer 6

Trinity! God the father, Christ the Son, and The Holy Spirit! -One unit

Answer 7

God has many names, but the most important one to know is Jesus! God our savior, Emmanuel, God with us. Would you like a complete list of the valid names of God?

Answer 8

one Lord one God, so does this means trinity is out of the question

Answer 9

The thing with all the "titles" in the bible.. mean something (to someone).

You can have someone (back in the ancient times) someone called "Lord".

All religions have some sort of incarnation that believes to be God...
"Lord" is used in different terms such as WarLord, Lord (leader)... etc.

The beauty of Jesus, is the fact that he is a man. With the same upbringings and flesh that we as humans ought to be.

We know that BECAUSE Jesus was sent in the flesh, God was with Him... as He is with all His children.

Our titles are not "lord", but whatever we are is WHO we are..
When Jesus died for our sins, he died in a way that was used to be an example for us to carry our own cross.. look for symbolism within the pages of the bible on how Jesus did this.

He was righteous in what he did to lead the example for future generations. We can accept Jesus as our Lord for doing that... We can also accept him for being our Saviour for doing that as well..
We can accept him as our Lord Saviour on top of that...
His name is Jesus... the only difference in what most cultures that acknowledge Jesus as a man ONLY have differences in the "title" (Lord, Saviour, Sovereign Lord etc).

Because of this difference, RELIGION itself, has manifested God to be MANY different things through the divine Will of Creation.

We as humans have come to ONLY accept one thing to be right in religious circumstances. THIS is what keeps us from Knowing God.. a simple "title"..

I have more teachings on faith and creation here if you want to see...
As Jesus has many different titles because of the "will" of man and through the divine Will of Creation through God... I have come to title myself as "Ographer"...
