Genesis 1:1 = Elohim = Plural
The word elohim is always found in the plural form and is often called a uniplural noun. A uniplural noun is a word that appears in the plural form but is used for singular and plural subjects alike. “Deer” and “fish” are examples of uniplural nouns in English. As with many Hebrew words, elohim carries more than one definition. When it is being used in a plural sense, it refers to “gods” or “men with authority.” When it is used in its singular sense, it can refer to “God” or “a god” or “a man with authority, such as a judge.” The Hebrew lexicon by Brown, Driver and Briggs is considered to be one of the best available and it has as its first usage for elohim: “rulers, judges, either as divine representatives at sacred places or as reflecting divine majesty and power, divine ones, superhuman beings including God and angels, gods.

In referring to a plural subject, elohim is translated “gods” in many verses. Genesis 35:2 reads, “Get rid of all the foreign gods you have with you,” and Exodus 18:11 says, “Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods.” It is translated as “judges” in Exodus 21:6; 22:8; and 22:9 (KJV, HCSB, NET, NIV). It is translated as “angels” (KJV) or “heavenly beings” (NIV) in Psalm 8:5. Some Trinitarians teach that since the word elohim is plural, it implies a compound unity when it refers to God. However, in its plural use, there is no evidence that elohim implied that these “gods” had some kind of plurality of persons within themselves.

"ever learning but never able to come to the Knowledge of the Truth that they may be Saved"

"check yourself and see if you are in the Faith"
 
I quoted 2 Peter 1:11.

That's not Titus.
Same as Titus...

2 Peter 1:11...
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (one life form)
Titus 2:13 ...
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (two life forms)

In Peter it's referring to one. In Titus it's referring to 2.
 
I differ with those who believe in the Trinity or a spin off like Oneness or any other belief that believes Jesus is God.
Do you believe in either the Greek/Enclish Interlinear or The Peshitta or another Aramaic translation?
 
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
Genesis 1:26

Who created man in the image of God?
You assume a lot. God could have been talking to His dog. Don't laugh. Maybe you have the same personality as His dog.
