Logical contradictions?
#32
RE: Logical contradictions?
(August 11, 2010 at 12:52 pm)theophilus Wrote: The Hebrew word for God is Elohim. In Hebrew the "im" is used at the end of a word to signify that it is plural. God often uses the plural in speaking about himself. "Let us make man in our image."

Then I have to wonder why modern english translations of the bible don't reflect things of that nature because God seems to refer to himself in the singular an awful lot in the old testiment and others refer to him as a singular individual instead of a group - like community, tribunal, trinity, triage, borg, etc.

Personally, I've always liked the term "Kami" as well, but that's coming from a Dragonball Z fan. Then there's also "Super Kami Guru."



If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
