Magill- this is exactly why this Word Elohim is used to describe God.
God is not the plural Elim which would be polytheistic theology.
Hear oh Israel, the LORD thy God is One!
Genesis 1:26- "Then God said let US make man in OUR image...

MAGILL- VERY GOOD YOEL. You are starting to get the big picture.
Magill- God, is ONE God in three distinct persons. HE IS GOD THE FATHER,
GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.
This is exactly why He chose to use the Hebrew word Elohim and not EL
nor Elim..
Yoel's so-called extended knowledge and authority is proven once again
to be based on an absurd premise.
Magill- His Policy is deny the truth at all costs.

Magill- it doesn't make it just singular either.

Magill- This is not an english plural ending example- This is a proper
Name ending.
Magill- Joelie, your command of the english language is extraordinary.

The plural of Jesus is Jesuses.
Magill- There is no plural of Jesus Christ. He and the Father are One.
Magill- please keep your argument examples confined to the relevant
Yiddish language. We are really not interested in the irrelevant english
grammar constructs of the plural "S" in this particular case.
The plural of kiss is kisses
Magill- Yoel is truly in his wishful thinking mode now. I bet the ladies
all love his hairy back.

WHAT HAS YOELIE BEEN SMOKING THIS TIME?
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE BUT JOELIE"S POLICY IS TO DENY EVERYTHING!
IN HIS GRIP,
