It is a long list of jibberish is what it is, and it does absolutely noting to refute all of the statements and comments in support of "YE ARE GODS AND ALL OF YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH'! It also does absolutely nothing to refute that we may become partakers in the divine nature, or that we can sit on God's throne, or that we may be like God when He appears!!!

The facts simply are these: We worship the three beings in the "Godhead" as our God, or in other words the Godhead is our God. However, the three members are distinct separate beings! HELLO? THAT IS WHAT ELOHIM MEANS; IT'S PLURAL FOR GODS!

Keep it up... I'm loving your comedy routine.
Riding on a speeding train; trapped inside a revolving door;
Lost in the riddle of a quatrain; Stuck in an elevator between floors.
One focal point in a random world can change your direction:
One step where events converge may alter your perception.

Elohim is also singular for "god".

The Jews worship one incorporeal god. Get it through your head.

I'm guessing that you either haven't been to the Temple for endowments or that you fell asleep at a vital point.

We 'know' as a result of our Temple experience that Mormonism believes Elohim is the deity people refer to as Heavenly Father/God. We 'know' that He is a single person distinct and separate from Jesus Christ. So if Elohim is in fact a reference to God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost then the temple is teaching people false beliefs.

Kittens, I think your post was one of the worst that I have ever seen here! First of all, it is obvious that you need a Hebrew dictionary (although,Drifting, Elohim is a name for Heavenly Father which signifies God of GODS)! Secondly, look art these scriptures and see if this sounds like an incorporeal God to you (of those of apostate Christendom!)!

Genesis 1:27 "God(s) created man in His (Their) own image."
Genesis 32:30 Jacob sees God "face to face"
Hebrews 1:3 states that Christ is the "EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS (HEAVENLY FATHER'S) PERSON"

There are also many more! So, unless you put some Albion type Evangelical spin on these , it is very obvious that Heavenly Father is in the exact image of Christ! WE were also created in that image, although we do not look exactly like Christ.

Correct Drifting! Elohim is a Hebrew term that is a plural form of God. It is also a name for Heavenly Father, and I think that the name signifies that Heavenly Father is a God of gods!

You really don't understand Hebrew at all, try reading this. Clearly you don't understand Judaism either. I've read enough of your post to know that you're hopeless, so go on blindly believing the lies spoon fed to you by the church if you like. I used to believe the same nonsense, now I know better and I have to tell you that life outside of the church is much better.

You know better?! What is the name of that big bird who hides his head in the sand?! Tell me exactly where I was wrong if you know so much! Do you think Elohim is not plural for God?!?

I think people who study Hebrew know better. Read the link. It is both plural and singular. In the Tanach it appears with words that suggest the singular.
