Restitutio 411 One God 1: Yahweh, the Supreme Creator
Today we are starting a brand new class called "One God Over All!" My plan is to work through scripture to build a biblical theology of the one true God and his Son, Jesus the Messiah. This class will cover both texts supporting God's exclusive oneness as well as misunderstood verses that seem to teach otherwise. Additionally, we will briefly explore how Christian theology developed from the New Testament period to the Trinity's full articulation at the Council of Constantinople in a.d. 381.
This is part 1 of the One God Over All class.
Who is God? Let's begin in the beginning with Genesis 1.1. We encounter the word elohim and ask ourselves, "What does this word mean?" and "Why is it plural?" Even more to the point, was this what ancient readers would have fixated upon? In this first class session you'll learn all about the word elohim, what God's name is, and how singular and plural pronouns tell us how many God is.
