I was pinged back into this thread today and reread you post... when you quote Acts 3:22 and write [Hebrew word] Elokim.... is that from the original Greek which distinguishes between the Hebrew words ‘YKVK’ and ‘Elokim?”

(note, and point to jonrick46, we use G-d and substitute a ‘h’ for a ‘k’ to avoid writing even a transliteration for G-d’s name(s.) The reason is that it’s the Jewish application of the commandment not to take His name in vain.

In all of the Hebrew Scriptures one will rarely find the Hebrew singular ‘El’. The majority of time the plural Elohim is used. In the Greek there is no distinction between singular and plural, they simply use the word ‘theos’. However, there is a very prophetic reason for the distinguishing between the singular and the plural in the Hebrew as Elohim represents the unity of the Father, the Son and the Set Apart Spirit of Truth. Therefore, the majority of time the Voice of God used the plural to emphasize the process of redemption which includes all 3 who are the same as they were in the beginning, the same yesterday, today and forever. There is no distinction between Jew or Gentile in His process of Redemption.

As it is for the Jew, so it is for the Gentile, not the other way around as is falsely taught by Roman Christendom. They refuse to hear Paul when he wrote, what advantage then does the Jew have? Much, because to Judah was entrusted the Torah of YHWH. Y’shua taught obedience to the Torah and when He returns, Judah who has clung to Torah will have the veil lifted. Sadly for the followers of Roman Christendom, there is going to be a lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth when they realize that they should have taken the teachings of Y’shua literally and not listened to and followed the whitewashed and twisted teachings of the Torahless preachers and prophets. There is also going to be a lot of hearts fainting when they find themselves in the midst of the wrath of Elohim because they did not have it in their heart to obey Him, to love Him as He desires to be loved.
