David: The word "Elohim" in Hebrew is the common name of God. I don't understand your usage. With your described background, you should speak Hebrew. Can you explain this usage to me?

According to the Grace Communal international:

"The word elohim can refer to the true God, to a false god, to angels, and to human beings."

Exodus 18:11 compares the true God with false gods (elohim).

Psalm 8:5 says that God made man slightly less than the angels (elohim).

As you can see David, the word elohim has more uses than you are aware.

Then this fits the history of the Hebrew language. For the Torah there were only 2-3,000 base words and a total of 10,000 using pre-fixes and post-fixes. It is why the King James Version had so many mistakes. The Sea of Galilee is a 5x13 mile lake and the Hebrew "yam" was used for a drop of water to an ocean. Currently Israelis call the lake Yam Kenneret. But in my Hebrew Encyclopedia Elohim is meant to mean 'God', as I described. Christians are still messing with and misinterpreting our language! :>))
