Do you believe the Bible to be the "Word of God"? Or the "Words of

Actually, the word or words of "Elohim", i.e. Gods.
Elohim is *PLURAL*. Yahweh was one of the Elohim.
Yes, Elohim is a plural word. It doesn't necessarily signify that
Yahweh is one of many gods. Some grammarians have referred to it as a
"plural of majesty".
See Genesis 6, god has a number of sons,
when the bible says gods, plural, it means that literally.
How do you figure? That isn't in line with anything found elsewhere in
the Bible, or any respectable hermeneutic.
Does the Queen of England mean to imply that there is more than one of
her when she uses the "royal We"?
