Briefly…
There is no GOD (ie. a supernatural monotheistic being)
Sentence WORD ORDER
Genesis 1:1 KJV “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
This is incorrect. It should be
“In the beginning created God - the heavens - the earth”. Source:
Genesis 1:1 Biblos Interlinear Bible
MEANING of the word ‘God’ used in the Bible:
Genesis 1:1, Hebrew word #430 “God”.
In Strong’s Concordance we are told that this word is the plural of 'elowahh’ and means ‘gods in the ordinary sense
’; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God.
Source:
Strong's Hebrew: 430. אֱלֹהִים (elohim) -- God, god
SO, the use of the ‘supreme God’ as a given meaning (rather than its original Hebrew meaning of ‘gods in the ordinary sense’) is specifically and especially employed when the article ‘THE’ is used, as in THE GOD - being ‘The God’ to whom religious people refer.
BUT in Genesis 1:1 the article ‘the’ is NOT present, thus
Moses was describing ordinary gods, plural.
Word ETYMOLOGY
In Strong’s Concordance we are told that #430 is the plural of Hebrew word #433.
Hebrew word #433 meant ‘a deity’.
As the original Hebrew etymology meant ‘deity’, hence as word #430 is the PLURAL of this word, then the word ‘God’ in Genesis 1:1 meant ‘
deities’ (or ‘ordinary gods’).
Source:
Strong's Hebrew: 433. אֱל֫וֹהַּ, (eloah) -- God, god
CONTEXT
Moses was an Egyptian priest who was shown and told the ‘ancient Egyptian wisdom’.
The gods whom Moses knew were the Heliopolis Ennead* of nine Egyptian deities.
Moses knew of ‘gods’ plural, and as such, when he wrote Genesis 1:1, and as the original Hebrew meanings confirm, he was citing the Egyptian deities, plural, of whom he knew.
* Ronald Pegg has identified the actual source of those nine ‘gods’.
pp117-119, World Breaking discoveries- A New Era Begins, Adelaide, South Australia, 2007.
THEREFORE, in regard the the “GOD” to whom Moses was referring, the Context and Original word Meaning was ‘deities’ plural, not the singular God as portrayed by religious people in their traditions.
Christians may agree with the ‘plural’ aspect, and say that it is plural because of the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost, but that story was invented over a period of time during the first four centuries by Roman Emperors, some 1200 years later (probably based upon the Egyptian Triad of Gods).
If there is no singular GOD of the Bible, then a single supernatural monotheistic Being did NOT create the heavens and the earth.
While this has disproved a ‘single God’ as believed in the Bible, it only means that Gods plural may have ‘created heaven and earth’.
