Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." and John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
The Hebrew term "God" here is a plurality of ONE PERSON
H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m.
אֱלֹהֵי 'elohiy (el-o-hee') [alternate plural]
1. (literally) supreme ones.
2. (hence, in the ordinary sense) gods.
3. (specifically, in the plural, especially with the article) the Supreme God (i.e. the all supreme).
4. (sometimes) supreme, used as a superlative.
5. (occasionally, by way of deference) supreme magistrates, the highest magistrates of the land.
6. (also) the supreme angels (entities of unspecified type).
[plural of H433]
KJV: angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
Root(s): H433
Compare: H5945, H7706, H8199, H4397
the KEY to clearly understand God's plurality as a (single) ONE PERSON is in the plural form of H433. as the definition above suggest. Please note
H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m. or אֱלֹהֵי 'elohiy (el-o-hee') [alternate plural] is what in QUESTION.
so, who is H433 in order to understand H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') as (a Plurality)?
H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah) n-m.
אֱלֹהַּ 'eloahh (el-o'-ah) [shortened (rarely)]
1. one with supreme strength and ability.
2. the Supreme Being, God the Creator, Yahweh by name.
3. a supreme entity, a god-like creature (that is, one of God's supreme creations, or one of man's inventions).
[probably prolonged (emphat.) from H410]
KJV: God, god.
Root(s): H410
again, who is H433? the ONE TRUE GOD, correct. but keep in mind that H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') is ..... "of" .... not separate and distinct .... "from" H433, but is "OF", H433. THIS IS THE ERROR MEN HAS MADE THROUGH TIME. they got the "of" WRONG. for the term "of" means, "expressing the relationship between a part and a whole". HOLD THAT THOUGHT, " a part and a whole". NT, Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:" the term "FORM" here, G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee'), means NATURE OF, OF, OF, God. and this NATURE is "Equal ... WITH" .... God. so, according here to Philippians 2:6 the million dollar question is, "HOW IS THIS NATURE EQUAL WITH GOD?". remember, "of" means, "expressing the relationship between a part and a whole". well the root of Form, G3444 μορφή morphe (mor-fee'), is G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros)
G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n.
1. a portion (i.e. an amount allotted, a part of something).
2. a part.
we need not go any further a "Portion" ... or as definition #2 states "Part?". notice definition #1, see the "of" there, a part of something? just as in Genesis 1:1 where H433 אֱלוֹהַּ 'elowahh (el-o'-ah) is "of" H433? well now we have our answer to God's plurality. because the PORTION of Something as in definition #1 states in G3313 μέρος meros (me'-ros) n is a "EQUAL SHARE of ONE'S OWNSELF". because the term portion here is synonyms with SHARE when us as a NOUN, in "A part of a whole" is SHARE". remember, the term "of" means, "expressing the relationship between a part and a whole". and here in Philippians 2:6, as well as in John 1:1 and from the start, Genesis 1:1 God is the EQUAL SHARE of himself in Flesh. this is why he has the Rank "Lord" while shared equally in flesh. and the title "Son". so, the PORTION of God in FLESH, is the EQUAL SHARE "OF" HIMSELF IN FLESH. CAN WE BACK THIS UP BY SCRIPTURE? YES, John 3:34 "For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." THIS TERM measure, IT MEANS,
G3358 μέτρον metron (me'-tron) n.
1. a measure (“metre”).
2. (by implication) a limited portion (degree).
{literally or figuratively}
[an apparently primary word]
KJV: measure
portion? yes, without limits. meaning EQUAL.... "WITH" read John 3:34 again.
Conclusion, men made the mistake in understanding the term "OF". as in Son "of" God.... the Son "of" man, ect...... according to Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words the term "of", translates the genitive case of nouns, with various shades of meaning. Of these the subjective and objective are mentioned here, which need careful distinction. is not the Christ the "OBJECTIVE" ....... of, of, of, God here on earth to do his will? Isaiah 63:5 "And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me." his "OWN ARM" in flesh as a man.... brought salvation unto himself? yes. his own ARM is him in flesh doing his WILL on earth.
only a two-letter word in its misunderstanding has caused so much devastation.
next time we should clearly understand this "EQUAL SHARE" in the term "WITH" as in Philippians 2:6b "to be equal with God:" and John 1:1b "and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
understanding the term "WITH" will shed more understanding on the ONE PERSON GOD, "JESUS".
