Monotheistic Elohim
The Tanakh (aka the "O.T.") agrees with the Brit Chadashah ("New Testament") in context, when it comes to the description of El Shaddai (God Almighty).
The term "trinity" creats confussion seeing as it is seen differently by so many and not a biblical term.
אֱלהִים Elohim is *One Hebrew term (Theos/ Greek) translated as "God" in the Tanakh.
▄. Elohim is the Plural (which can be used in a singular context) form of El ("God") and or Eloah, and means (that which is considered to be) Divine Judgement (authority) . It includes all instruments of Devine judgement and is translated as G-d, g-d, judges,...
Throughout the Word, Elohim is to mention one essence (echad). (Moses is made an "Elohim" (judge/ instrument of divine authority)- Ex.7:1-2 Notice the mention of YHVH, Moses and Aaron- unified oneness of divine judgement- truth) (Rom.1:5). All instruments of divine judgement are considered Elohim: messengers such as Prophets and Apostels, Everyone in covenant, angels are all Elohim. (Also should not Elohim is used of idols as well cause it is precieved to be of divine judgement and authority by idolaters) Its a spiritual authority (that of G-D). Elohim simply means divine authority and judgement (and includes all instruments of it/ The Almighty, His Prophets, Angels, Adon Mashiach (The Lord/ Christ), Apostels , The priests of Israel,...
But in the shema its Elohinu (OUR G-d)All members of the Elohim testify that Yah is Elohinu (Our Elohim).
(Other titles of G-d that show Spacific realtions: El, Elyon, Elah, Eloah,...)
* The Sh'ma (Deut.6:4) שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל: יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה אֶחָד
Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil Adonai Eloheinu Adonai echad.
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"
Sh'ma (- Hear and Do) Israel, Adonai (The "LORD"- singular/)- Eloheinu (Our Eloah/Elohim- a plural that can be used in a singular context) Our "God") plural (Our/ Israel's) God (in singular context) The LORD Is One (echad- oneness/ unified one)
The LORD in all his attributes (offices/relations) is ONE LORD. We see here that the Almighty is calling Israel to be one with him in divine authority and judgement. The Tanakh says "ye are Elohim and Christ quoted in (In the greek NT its Ye are Theos) In the English "ye are gods (called to be members of divine authority and judgement). The Almighty is ONE and we are to be a unified one with him according to His will in The Way. Just as He and Christ are echad Christ also said he wants us to be echad (a unified one). David said The LORD (YHVH/ Adonai) said unto my Lord (Adon/ Lord as IN the earth). Thomas called Yahushua "My Lord" (Adon) "and my Theos" (which is the same as Elohim in the Hebrew). There is an acrostic within the shama a bold Ayin and Dalet in bold in the Tanakh which when put together means to witness. This is the calling of Israel to be one in divine authority and judgement with Adonai (within the shama).
Monothesitic Word Study-
(unified One -Oneness)H#259(258)
-
Notice the word translated to "One" is Echad! The Hebrew could have allowed for solitary "yachid" or "bad" to say a numeric "one", instead the Unified oneness- "echad" was used!
(example- Gen.2:24/ When there are two relating terms echad is to mention a unified oneness Example: Adonai and Eloheinu/Deut.6:4/ however when there is a singular subject echad is to be seen as a numerical one Example:Deut.17:6/ Ecc.4:9). We also have the Plural form of echad which is Achadim (Achad with suffix im) /Gen.11:1;27:44;29:20/ Dan.11:20/ Eze.37:17 (la achadim)
When echad modifies a plural noun then echad is a compound word. When it modifies a singular noun, then echad is not a compound word. In Deuteronomy 6:4 the word echad (one) modifies the relation between Adonai (Lord/ singular) and Eloheinu (God/ Plural), thus an absolute one in the details of Devine judgement = and the singular One Almighty.
H#3173 (3161)/ Yachid to only, what Echad is to (unified)one.
(Numeric -One)
This is the essence of the sacrid name. What was the Message given to Moses when he asked who shall I say sent me? (Ex.3:13,14). אהיה אשר אהיה ("I AM HE WHO IS", or "I AM WHO I AM") Ehyeh asher ehyeh / #1961/ #834/ which is to say: I Am That I Am and could also be translated I will be(come) that I will be(come)/ I will be who I will be/ I will be which I will be/ and or/ I will be where I will be (Ex.3:15/ Ex.7:16/ Rev.1:8)
* Christ quoted the Sh'ma- ▄ Mk.12:29/
(The Hebrew uses many names and titles when referring to "G-d" and each shows a different relation (office) of YHVH. The sacrid name wasn't used by Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob- Ex.6:3 ! Instead they used the title El Shaddai -God Almighty.) Note the Greek "hen" is unified as is echad thus used just like echad is in the Tanach Mk.12:29 - Matt.19:5/ Gen.2:24 - Deut.6:4
* Jn.4:24 * - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Num.23:19 / *Ps.118:8 / Hosea 11:9/ Lk.24:39 (1 Cor.15:50)! Col.2:9 /(Matt.23:9)/ (Is.43:10-11)
Its the (spiritual) Anointing of Yeshua that is of divine authority (Elohim).
* Compare the Sh'ma to
▄1 Jn.5:7 - "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one." (much of this verse has been Added beginning with the 16th centry- MORE on this in comment section) In this following quote the area in bold italics is *Added to the text "7 For there are three that bear record *///in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.8And there are three that bear witness in earth///*, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
(Jn.1:1,2,3,4,5) Jn.1:14 "made" G#1096 other uses consist of "be" Lk.1:20.., "be Fulfilled" Matt.5:18/ Matt.24:34/ Lk 21:32, "was done" Matt.26:56 more than 80 times used as "to come to pass".... The Word was Fulfilled in the flesh (Jn.1:14 "made flesh") of Mashiach in the context of The Passover Sacrifice is Heb.2:14/ 1 Cor.5:6-8 / Emmanuel.
Others may ask, why the mention of three? (1 Father, 1 Word, 1 Holy Spirit = 1 Elohim/ and Elohim is and YHVH are in a Oneness). Who wouldnt be interested in all the attributes (relationships/ offices) of YHVH in detail? Here in 1st Jn. we are being told of the Devine Judgement ("bear record")meaning Elohim (a unified plural mention of God) in all its offices (oneness- echad). Ths oneness is catagorized into 3 parts for a intimate revelation to those whom God allows to understand in its simplicity. (Anyone who wants to point out that part of 1 Jn 5:7 was added to the text check out the comments below!!!)
█████*** יהוה ****████The Almighty Father - The Source Of all things (1 Cor.8:6), The Omnipotent, Omnipresent One. Constant state of being -everywhere, everytime. I would be mentioning the Father if I said: He whose will shall be done.
* Hashem- (Joel 2:32) The Name/ Character (Gen.21:33) We use many (Hebrew) titles to mention "God". Each shows a detailed relation (office/ attribute) of God. Orthadox believers feel The sacrid name is Holy and shouldn't just be uttered in any context by everyone at anytime. Traditional believers are known to alter titles to avoid repetative sounds. Many today seek to cause division and strife based on what is the proper way to mention The Almighty. Personally I feel translations are needed to communicate truth to the nations and when we alter to deny certain titles and names we are limiting who they can relate to in the Word.
YAH for short
יְהֹוָה YHVH ("YHWH")/ Yod Hey Vav Hey/ Hebrew # 3068/ 3069 / YaH-ho-VeH
Translations are needed when communicating with the nations. I dislike it when people sow strife and division based on pronunciations and spellings of the Sacrid name. The believers of old never have this problem rather they created substitutes for the sacrid name so when a culture uses a translation that they relate back to Ehyeh asher Ehyeh i have no problem with it if its not the correct pronunciation and or spelling.
Some use YaHVeH / others use YaHWeH /first use in Gen.2:4/(Ps.83:18), while others slaim the name "Jehovah" (J)Yehovah
There are times when we are called to call on Hashem ("the Name"). We are also given: \
Ex.20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Name here is "shem" H#8034 and is to mention ones character. At the same time what is His Name? I AM. / Example of what it is to take The Name (Character) of YHVH (I AM) in vain is when one says "I AM" a "Christian" ("Jewish"/ of "Israel"/ claiming the character of YHVH) and yet bare other fruits, teach another doctrine and so forth.
We also have titles of GOD each showing a specific relationship (atribute) of G-d.
Yah, Jah, "God", El, Ehyeh asher ehyeh (Ex.3:14),Ellah (#426) Eloah(#433), Elyon, Elohim (Theos- Greek), Adon, Adonai , Adonim, LORD, Father... /

Matthew 6:(9-13 )/ Christ demonstrates prayer (to The Father)
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.(Lk.11:2-4) Mal.1:11 (Eph.5:21)
One should be able to see the outline of the commandments and The reason we were created (Rev.4:11) all summed up in this prayer! True believers with a relationship with YHVH pray by Spirit to the Father, for Christians this is often done in the name of The Messiah to show that we embrace The Passover.
When it comes to The Messiah (Jesus) many cant see past the flesh of Christ. 1 Cor.12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. (We know that God is Spirit, we know that man consists of both Spirit and flesh, Christ being concieved of a virgin / Devine Intervention!) Jesus made it clear to His disciples that the role and authority of Messiah was a Spiritual one * Matt.16:15,16,17 (revealed Spiritually for again, God is Spirit and Not (flesh) a man/ man consists of both flesh and spirit) Lk.9:18-22/ Mk.8:27-31
-Is.43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour./ Matt.1:20
████ The Word (Rev.19:13)█████/ Yeshua Ha-Moshiach / Savior of Yah /(Messiah=The Good Shepherd- (Ps.23:3, Jn.10:15, Matt.18:12, Ps.78:52, Eze.34:2,5, / *Matt.15:24 , *Gal.3:24-29, *Jn.11:52/) /Yeshua Ben Yosef/יֵשׁוּעַ ******* Yahshua is actually a mixture of Christ's Hebrew name Yehoshua (Yahushua H#3091) יהושע and it's proper short version Yeshua ישוע which was common place in time of Jesus, The spelling Yahshua (Yah-shu-wa/ Y'shua) is often used to highlight that The sacrid name ( יהוה ) is shortened to YAH ( יה ) and apply this (Yod and Hey) to the shortened version of Moshiach's Hebrew name to express the fact that YHVH's name is in his!)/ Heb.4:12 G#2424 from Hebrew orgin H#3091
********/ Immanuel/ Emmanuel- G-d with us IN the flesh (Phil.2:6-7)/ Christos/ Christ- The annointed One/ Lamb/ Yehoshua (יהושע Y'hoshua, Yahushua, Yahshua) (Joshua- PROPER English transliteration) (J)/ Hosea/ Hoshea/ Osea/ Oshea/ King of kings, and Lord of lords/ The Light/ The Way/ The Tree of Life/ The Rock/ The Vine/ Iesous/ Prince/ (Melchizedec, Melchisedec- For those who embrace the earth ages (Jn.8:58)- Angel of The LORD), Rabbi / Prophet/... Is.9:6 "and his name shall be called".... Everlasting Father, Mighty G-d (El Gibbor). To say name is to also say character (both in Hebrew and Greek) thus Messiah comes in the character of the Everlasting Father. Thats why he says if you seen my works you have seen the Father.
There are two ways to mention Yeshua. The Physical (son of Man) which is to basically speak of him as a huMAN, and the Spiritual (Son of G-D). To speak of him in his Spiritual Authority is not rooted in carnal knowledge (of the physical) but relative to his (Spiritual) anointing which is the meaning of Messiah. Yeshua is Immanuel (G-D with us) in the sense that he came to do the will of The Almighty YHVH. He said he came not to do his own will (that of his flesh) but to do the will of YHVH. He said of himself he can do nothing. There are many titles and concepts translated to "G-D, G-d, and or g-d" and while all point to the Father as being The Almighty some also include instruments of G-D such as Elohim (Hebrew) and its Greek equivalent Theos. Elohim means divine authority/ judgement and includes instruments of divine authority (instruments of G-d's will) thus used to mention Almighty YHVH but also used to identify angels, prophets, Messiah, apostels, and those in covenant that do G-D's will. In this sense Yeshua is G-D with us (and Messiah is greater than the prophets for he is in the postion of the Right hand of G-d/ King of kings and Lord of lords).
Translations are needed when sharing The Light (relaying truth) among the nations. While Yehoshua is grammatically correct within the foundations of Hebrew, Yeshua was the more popular (shortened version in) use during the 2nd Temple period in which Yeshua lived. It was the proper way of shortening the name much like Josh of Joshua today and most importantly carried the meaning of the name (Salvation of Yah) with it. Note on pentecost every man heard the message in their own language. we should be aware of what purpose we are zealous.
Greek had no sh sound thus the reason sh isnt in the Greek term. The Greek added the s sound to show a masculine,
Many amoung the old English communities still pronounced the J as a Y

2 Jn 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
_________
▄For the Spiritual to interact with the physical in a physical way a vechile is used (example: flesh). Hands represent works, and the Right Hand of YHVH throughout scripture is used to mention Works/ strength / salvation of Yah - Yeshua/ and to identify Messiah
Ps. 110/ Matt.22:24/ Eze.36:29, Rom.1:3,4 (Immanuel- God with us- Is.7:14, Matt.1:23). ( Rev.19:13, (Is.40:5), Is.9:6)
Messiah is Greater than all the prophets (the prophets all pointed to Messiah) and the angels!
Christ said of myself I can do nothing./ We are told he came not to do his own will but that of the Father. He is the Right Hand (power and works) of G-d in realation to Creation (The Word/ when G-d speaks a thing it is). He is Adon (Lord as IN the earth for we know that YHVH isnt limited to being within his creation. He is greater than the prophets for the Prophets pointed towards him. He Fulfilled Torah. He fulfilled the Atonements. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. He is a member of Elohim (divine authority/judgement) which is a Hebrew title that translates to G-d, g-d, judge... When the disciples acknowledge Yeshua as Messiah he responded to them by telling them his isnt carnal knowledge rather this is revealed to yu by the Father (Its a Spiritual revelation). Messiah means anointed one. Its this anointing that is the authority of G-d.
Yahshua /Yeshua / Y'shua (means- Salvation of Yah, savior of God, my savior is God, God saves) / Ex.23:20-23/▄ "my name is in him" (Emmanuel- means "God with us"/Is.7:14/ Matt.1:23)
Ps.119:155- "Salvation is far from the wicked : for they seek not thy statutes."/ Salvation here is- Yeshua- Hebrew name of Jesus! (Matt.7:23)
Many cant see past the flesh of Christ (Jn.3:3,6,8,12). No wonder they cant understand how the Father and Son are One in Spirit and in the context of Elohim. To them I would ask, how does a virgin concieve and bring forth a child? By devine intervention (Son of God), We are told man consists of both flesh and Spirit (Gen.2:7/ Job.33:4/ 1 Cor.15:35-58/ 2 Cor.5:7-10/ Ecc.12:6-7). They are one in Spirit (Jn.10:30), and Christ came in the exact image of the Father (Jn.14:9), not to do his own will but rather the will of The Father. The body of Christ is the temple of YHVH. Christians become one with Christ through the sacrifice, we embrace what the temple stands for. All have sinned and the wage of sin is death. The death angel has to pass over those who have claimed the Passover sacrifice. * Heb.2:14 *
The Flesh Of Yeshua Is Our Passover Sacrifice not our God (Heb.2:14/* 1 Cor.5:6-8/* 1 Tim.2:5,6/ Jn10:17/ Jn.3:16/ Heb.10:10-12,16-18/ Rom.5:8/ Col.2:16-17 Foreshadow (Ex12:23,27)/ Gal.3:24-29 / Ps.22
* Jn.1:1,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. / logos en Theos "The Word was G-d" (Greek falls short of the Hebrew understanding here imv)/ made "ginomai" flesh sarx (many haven't considered the Greek on full here)/
Now note that the Greek "ginomai" is translated as "made". Throughout the bible the same term is translated as: fulfilled, be done, come, become, made, be married to, be preferred, however most commonly translated as "come to pass" (82 times to be exact!). So why was flesh used (needed) for the Word of God to come to pass? ATONEMENT Lev.17:11/ Heb.2:14/ 1 Cor.5:6-8/ Rev.19:13/ (Matt.1:23/ 1 Jn.4:3) Yes the Word of God was made (G#1096) flesh Jn.1:1,14 (Meaning that The Word is fulfilled in Mashiach/ Abraham met him, Jn.5:46 Moses wrote of him, The prophets foretold of him, The Apostels declare his Authority is that of The Father for he came Not to do his own will that that of the Father).
Elohim is the closest to the Greek (Theos) than any other Hebrew title translated G-d (El, Eloah, Elyon, ...) Again Elohim means divine (judgement and authority & is a plural that can be used as a singular and singluar proper). The Word of G-d (Elohim/ or Even YHVH) is G-d ( Elohim)Amen and carries with it divine judgement and authority. That Word was "made" (came to pass/became/fulfilled in) (the) Flesh /...of Yeshua (Adon - Lord as In the Earth/in relation to creation)
Emmanuel - God with us Matt.1:23/ 1 Cor.5:6-8/ Heb.2:14
* Jn.6:51/ Ex.29:32/ Jn.6:55 1 Pet.2:24 Is.53:5/The disciples ate Bread were not literal cannibals Matt.26:26 Mk.14:22 1 Cor.11:24/ Jn.3:6,36/ A virgin concieves by Devine Intervention (Matt.1:23)
* Through Christ (Our Passover) we are able to enter into The Sabbath (rest)- Matt.11:28-30, Heb.4:8-10, Ps.23, Ps.37, (Dan.9:24-25, Jer.6:16, Is.63:14, Matt.26:28) Jn.10:28
Attributes of Jesus- Jn.14:7,9/ Zech.12:10/ (Eph.3:9/ Matt.20:28/ Mk. 10:45/ Jn.16:28/ Heb.1:3,6/ Jn.14:6) Jn.6:38/ Jn.5:30/ Is. 9:6/ (Heb.9:11-14)
Jn.12:44-45 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. (Jn.8:28,54)
Is.40:18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Rom.1:21-23. When we speak of Mashiach we speak of the > Right Hand < of YHVH (Spirit /Works/ Character of G-d) that is IN Yeshua (Jesus). The flesh of Yeshua was needed for the Word to "come to pass" (made), in relation to fulfilling Atonement. God is Spirit which isnt carnal.
*Who do men say that i am?/ Who do You say that I AM?
Matt.16:13-17/ Mk.8:27-29/ Lk.9:18-20/ This isn't understood of fleshy wisdom but only in Spirit of truth- 1 Cor.12:3 */*** Matt.22:41,42,43,45,46
Not everyone that claims the name "Jesus" will be saved- Matt.7:21-22 /
- Even the Demons believe in GOD and testify that Yeshua is Son of G-D and Messiah - * Lk.4:41, Matt.8:29, James 2:19 (Jn.5:37, Jn.6:44,46, 2 Jn.1:7)
* Moshiach fulfills The Law & The Prophets/ All The Atonements G-D provides point to the Life of Yehoshua/ Judges the World/ and issues in the Kingdom of GOD/ Eternal Justice
█████████*** The Holy Spirit ****███- Ruach HaKadosh (Gen.1:2/ Acts 2/ Jn.1:1/* Eph.4:4-6/ 1 Cor.12:13)
>>Soul in the Hebrew is to say Nephesh (neshama). Nephesh basically is to say any living (breathing) thing.
(H.)Spirit is that breath of life /(Neshama) Ruwach- Hebrew/ Greek- pneuma/ The spirit is incorruptible. It doesnt grow old nor does it get sick... We relate the Greek pneuma to air when we think of pneumatic tires! The Word gives a discription of The Spirit and how it works.
(So spirit is a soul (living breathing thing) Before flesh. At conception (Gen.2:7) the flesh combined with spirit becomes a soul. At flesh death the flesh dies and the spirit seperates from it. Here one can start to understand that there is more than one context of both "Soul" and "Soul sleep" which is covered in the blog "where are the dead".)
* John 3:8- The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit./ Here we are told The Spirit is like unto the wind! You can see the effects of the wind but you can't see the wind (Spirit) with physical eyes. Spirit and works go hand and hand. Matt.7:16,20 / What Else is unseen and can be considered spirit?
Positive- Love (heart), Faith, Belief, Intelect (mind),..... / Negative- ideologies, hate, lust, pride, envy......(Gal.5:22-23)
* Faith- Heb.11:1,3 (7)- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
* Love-1 Jn.4:7-8 (16)- Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
I think its safe to say that anyone who has ever shown true love to another has some concept of what it is to be an instrument of God since God is love. This doesnt take away from your loved ones but rather adds to them for what is better than being an instrument of God and embraceing him? The Holy Spirit is Devine: Intelect (TRUTH), Perfect Love, And a relationship in God's will (faith/grace)- Is.11:2
Note: FEAR is The beginning (reverance- love and fear)- Ps.111:10/ Proverbs 1:7/ Proverbs 9:10 which matures into a loving relationship with God (Perfect Love) 1 Jn.4:18 (1 Jn.4:12/ 1 Jn.2:5/ 2 Cor.13:11) Heb.6 / Joseph had it Gen.41:38

Faith without works is dead- James 2 / No man by his own works shall be counted worthy of salvation (Rom.3:20,28/ Gal.2:16). One who doesn't take up his cross is not worthy of the Passover sacrifice. (Matt.10:38) . All sin (1 Jn.1:8/ Rom.3:23/ Rom.7:14-25/ Is.64:6/ Is.53:6/ Rom.3:9/ Ecc.7:20/ Rom.3:20/ Mk.10:18/ Rom.5:12) , thus all are responcible for the crusifixtion. We are all worthy of death (Jas.1:15).
Jn.3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. REPENT (tree of life)
___Elohim___
Elohim basically means devine judgement (& involves instruments of devine judgement) is translated as God, god, judges,.. Moses called Elohim in Ex.7:1
Elohim - God's will in action (body)The Holy Spirit is present with the Father, The Son, and Spiritual Israel (Gal.3:24-29) and is our bond (comfort/ rest) through the sacrifice.(Jn.4:24/ Jn.6:44). *Reason we were created- REV.4:11 \

Philippians 2:5-16/ 1 Cor.15:44/ 1 Cor.3:16/ 2 Cor.3:17/ Ez.18:4/ 1 Cor. 6:19/ Matt.28:19/ John 10:30/ 2 Cor. 13:14/ Jn.5:18/ Matt.3:16-17/ Lk.1:35/ Heb.9:14/ (Is.7:14/ Mark 1:10-11/ Lk.3:22) Jn.1:32/ Acts.7:55/ Rom.8:11/ Rom.8:14-17/ Rom.8:26-27/ Jn. 8:14-18/ Acts 10:38 / Jn.14:6-7 / Jn.14:16-21,26/ 2 Chron.9:6/ Mk.16:16/ Jn.6:33-35/ ROM.12:4-5
Exodus 20:3, "You shall have no other gods (Elohim) before Me," (Ps.45:6-7/Genesis 3:22/ Hosea 1:7)
*In the Hebrew Scriptures you will also find all three personalities of the Godhead referred to in single passages. Two examples are Isaiah 48:12-16 and 63:7-14.
-
Eloah (and El are singular forms of Elohim)- Who is to be worshiped- God in connection with His will rather than power. (first appearance associated with worship Deut.32:15,17)
_____Matt.12:50/ Mk.3:35_____
(Tanakh)
Feminine and masculine attributes (metaphorical) / (Is.66:13- like a mother in a nurturing way.) comforter (Jer. 31:9/ Is. 63:16/ Is.64:8 like a Father) (Son- Prov. 30:4/ Ps. 2:2,7,12) This has nothing to do with physical gendar. Some seek to make the Godhead resemble pagon theology by claiming the Holy Spirit is the "mother" The Lord the Father, and Christ being the Son. That is ignoring all the scriptures that state Christ was even before his flesh birth, thus makes Elohim rather pagon.
--------------------MORE NOTES--------------------------------------
__El Shaddai__
The title Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew as mentioning God. Ex.6:3 Almighty, God as source of Grace instead of strength. Giver instead of Creator/ All bountiful/ to nuture. One of whom if you are seperated unto in a personal relationship shall supply all needs. (first occurance Gen.17:1) Title used in 2 Cor.6:18 (to seperate yourself from the world)/ Ps.91/ (breasted one)
___Adonai____
The Lord in His relation to the earth and carrying out his blessings in the earth. Closely relates to "Jehovah". form by associating the vowel points of the "Jehovah with Adon./ Adonai (אֲדֹנָי, lit. "My Lords") is the plural form of adon ("lord") along with the first-person singular pronoun enclitic. The "plural" is respectful & not syntactic.
____I AM___
Rev.1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. (Is.48:12) I AM , The beginning and End- Is.41:4/ Rev.4:8, Which was is and is to come - Ehyeh asher ehyeh, El Shaddai
Ex.3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
I Am היה (Ex.3:14) = hayah-(am, be or become- depends on the context) to exsist/ Hayah is also a root of "Yehovah" (Gen.21:33) Yah ov-vay (Yahweh) / which by some (orthadox Jews) is pronouned Yehovih (for the reason to resist repetition within the name) which does change context based off traditions of men! (and there is no need in it other than observing traditions of men, because of the context of the scripture)! One way I can mention God is to say -/He of who's will shall be done /over all things/ That is to say the heavenly Father but is not a proper name. However it agrees: I will be(come what I will be(come). I am that I am, He who was is and is to come.
-
Ehyeh is translated "I will be" many times in the o.T. and again it is proper Hebrew. Example Zec.8:8/ Ex.3:12
-
Ex.15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
- Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
- Ecclesiastes 1:9
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

- There are 4 Acrostics in Ester which show the sacrid name 2 forward 2 in reverse.

"Every seventh letter in the book of Leviticus spells out "Yud" "Heh" "Vav" "Heh" .
-
There is more to it than just this: In Genesis and Exodus, every 50th letter spells "TORAH" from left to right (toward the book of Leviticus). In Numbers, every 49th letter and in Deuteronomy every 50th also spell "TORAH" from right to left (toward the book of Leviticus).
-
To summarize: Genesis, Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy all use the word "TORAH" to point toward Leviticus, the central book of the Torah. In Leviticus, we see Yahweh." -
(Appendix 32 Companion Bible -134 places where the Sopherim altered YHVH to Adonai (Gen.18:3) http://www.biblestudysite.com/32.htm
Israel requested God speak to them through a mediator -Deut. 5:24-27/ Deut. 18:15-18. Moses pleads with the Lord to not destroy the Israelites - Ex.32:9-14. (Moses struck the rock of living waters twice).

Areas in which Christ claimed divinity! (blog by David Wood of ABN) http://www.answeringmuslims.com/2011/06/where-did-jesus-say-i-am-go...
Yeshua's Image (Gen.1:27/ 1 Cor.15:47)
Col.1:15-19 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; Col.2:9-10 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: <p>Notice: One (Same) Name (Character)
Messiah is Lord (Adon/ Kurios) in the sense to show he is of greater authority than prophets angels kings... He prayed To TheAlmighty, he came not to do his own will but the will of he who Sent him, Messiah is anointed By the Almighty (Is.61:1) Messiah is (of the) "Elohim" (Theos), Messiah subjects himself unto the Almighty - (1 Cor.15:25-28) - Postion of Messiah is at the Right Hand (power and works in relation to creation/ Heb 1:1-4 - same "person/essence) Of HAShem. Is.9 says he comes in the Shem (name and character) OF The Almighty. Of himself Messiah does Nothing.....
The Godhead/ Messiah (more verses for detail):
Is.48:(12,13,16,17) \
12 Hearken ("Sh'ma") unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. <p>(The LORD is speaking to Jacob / Is.46:9-10/ whose name in this context is Israel/ meaning prince of El meaning those in God's inheritance or a positive realtionship with him)
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
(hand- works/ right- positive/ or justice) <p>16 Come ye near unto me, hear ("shama" as used in the shama Deut.6:4) ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
(The Lord GOD and His Spirit sends the LORD/ this is going into detail of the Godhead in many different ways of relation/ offices/ attributes.)
The "Lord GOD" is Adonai YHVH <p>Adonai- Lord in His relation to the earth; and as carrying out His purpose of blessing in the earth. Almost equivalent to YHVH with this limitation. The term was from an early date used by associating the vowel points of YHVH with Adon thus converting Adon to Adonai.
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Zech. 2:8-11 (The LORD sent The LORD to the earthand draws many nations unto him)
Is. 9:6-10 ("A child is born"- "The mighty GOD"- El gibbor)
This same terminology is used to describe The Lord God in Is.10:21 (El gibbor) of which the remnant (Israel) shall be drawn to!
This makes rather clear of the role of Messiah as not *only Elohim (devine judgement) but also as The Right hand of YHVH and as Adonai YHVH. No other messenger can claim the postion it is that of Mashiach (our Shepherd).(Gen.19:24)
Hashem:

Matt.1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord (ho kurios) by the prophet, saying,
Matt.22:44 The LORD (ho kurios) said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord (ho kurios)hath need of him (Jn.6:38). And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. And as they were loosing the colt, the owners (ho kurios) thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord (ho kurios)hath need of him.
Jn.13:13-14 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
Rom.10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
When one understand the simple context of Elohim and YHVH and how they relate to one another the shama continues to speak. In context its a call unto Yisrael to be Yisrael. To be ONE with YHVH! As in the context of marriage. For the members of the many membered body (Elohim) to have a ongoing (postive) relationship with The LORD. To be Spiritual Israel. The Light unto the nations that was choosen to bring the Word forth unto the nations.
There are two postive messianic figures in the end times within rabbinical Judaism. First comes Messiah Ben Yoseph (son of joseph) and then Messiah Ben David (son of david).
1st advent: Joseph means God will increase
2nd advent: David refers to Power (kingdom)
___________________________
These two titles are discriptive of the 2 advents of messiah!
Christ was reading the Torah portion on Messiah (Is.61) in the synagogue. He closed the scroll in the middle of the torah portion and said "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears" (Lk.4:16-30). It wasn't "kosher" to interupt a torah portion reading much less stop it while proclaiming this is fulfilled at this time (no one /women/ is allowed to chatter during torah portion readings).
The responce of some "Jews" present was "Is not this Joseph's son" (Is this not Yeshua Ben Yoseph?). Thus asking about the very thing Christ just said in context. (This is the first advent!)
(Note Yoseph was a legal father not physical)
The reason he closed the scroll where he did was to show the difference in the first advent where he (Emmanuel) comes in Peace to renew the covenant with Israel and to extend salvation to all. Where the torah portion picks up its describing the 2nd advent of which christ comes in judgement (harvest) with the sword of truth rather than in humbleness and gentileness (2 Thess.1:7-8/ Matt.10:34)
1Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7For there are three that bear record *///in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.8And there are three that bear witness in earth///*, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
* The texts between /In Heaven, and In earth/ have crept into the text starting in the 16th century (not in our earliest sources at all) and yet the book itself was written in the 1st century (between 85 and 90 AD). However the Father, Son (Word), and Holy Spirit are all subjects within the area and someone felt the need (and that they had the authority) to add to the texts for for whatever reason they had (which is a big no no) Some say it was their method of simplification and almost a side note added to the text in context through modern scribes to communicate their interpretation and understanding to others in ways they felt the actual Word of G-d didnt. Some say the Word using the subjects and message was saying this but that the reader may have missed it so they made it more clear for the reader (again a Big no no). Does the Father, Son (Word), and Holy Spirit agree in truth? Yes of course as well as all instruments of Elohim but those that added to the Word were wanting to stress their agenda of a "3 person G-d". (Jn.1:1/ Jn 1:31-34/ Jn.10:30 (Jn15:26) .
(I know its repetitive but certain areas are easier to copy and paste to share quickly, so...)
Only unlearned Christians would claim it was ever a part of the Word of G-d. Everything between the bars (///--HERE--/// ) has been added texts: 7For there are three that bear record *///in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.8And there are three that bear witness in earth///*, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one....* The area between -->/In Heaven, and In earth/ <- have crept into the text through the hands of men put in postions of authority, starting in the 16th century and yet the book itself was written in the 1st century (between 85 and 90 AD)....
The only "three" literally mentioned in the Word here are Spirit, water and the blood.......
The texts reads: 7 For there are three that bear record 8 the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.... (Added texts are: "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.8And there are three that bear witness in earth" ).....
This is how it reads in a corrupted source: 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one..... Its evident to Anyone who studies. The added texts are not found in any of our earliest source. The added portion isnt found in Any Gr. manuscripts before the 16th century. They were 1st seen in the margin of some latin copies thence they have been added to the modern texts by aggressive scribes (and "church" organizations) with man made authority (probably to push a "3 person G-d" concept).....
It is note worthy that the Father Son and Holy Spirit are subjects in surrounding texts and some say certain denominations supported adding this to the texts to better relay Their understanding (interpretation/ doctrine) of the verse in relation to the surround texts but the Word says do not add to or take away from the Word.
