MAJESTIC PLURAL / PLURAL OF MAJESTY IN BIBLE

 

(According to Jewish Rabbi and Jewish Sources)


Genesis 1:26

[...Then God said, “let US make mankind in OUR image"...]

----------

The 'US' or 'OUR' in Genesis 1:26 is a MAJESTIC PLURAL.


It is NOT Trinity. Since Trinity is not real according to Jewish sources:


Sefer HaIkkarim, Maamar 3 23:1

"...Maimonides says in his epistle on resurrection that the expression, 'Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One' is understood by the Jews to mean absolute unity, whereas the Christians interpret it to teach the Trinity..."


Sefer HaIkkarim, Maamar 3 25:7

"...The law of Moses says nothing about trinity because it is not true from the point of view of reason, and the Torah does not inculcate an idea which is not true, such as that one is three and three are one..."

----------

So, again; the 'US' or 'OUR' in Genesis 1:26 is a MAJESTIC PLURAL. This time, Jewish Rabbi and Jewish sources are in agreement with that!


Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin 7:8:2

"...Elohim as a PLURAL OF MAJESTY means superior power..."


Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot 9:5:4

"...The name 'God', MAJESTIC PLURAL of ēl 'power', is always interpreted in the Talmud as 'the measure of justice'..."


Tafsir Rasag, Deuteronomy 6:22

"...And We (MAJESTIC PLURAL) showed them great signs and proofs against Pharaoh and his assembly in Our (MAJESTIC PLURAL) presence..." 

(the parenthesis 'MAJESTIC PLURAL' is not my doing. It is really there, in Tafsir Rasag)


'Tafsir' is indeed an Arabic term. But 'Tafsir Rasag' is not created by Muslims. It is a translation and commentary on the Old Testament made by a Jewish Rabbi, Sa'adia ben Yosef Gaon

----------

Saʿadia ben Yosef Gaon himself or "Rabbeinu Sa'adiah Gaon" (Our Rabbi Sa'adia Gaon) was a prominent rabbi, gaon, Jewish philosopher, and exegete who was active in the Abbasid Caliphate.


Moses ben Maimon (Maimonides), another great and respected Jewish Rabbi, once said: "...were it not for Sa'adia, the Torah would almost have disappeared from the midst of Israel. For it was he who made manifest what was obscure therein, made strong what had been weakened, and made it known far and wide by word of mouth and in writing..."


And guess what Saʿadia ben Yosef Gaon said about Genesis 1:26? (“let us make mankind in our image") 


Sa'adia said:

"...The word LET US MAKE has the meaning of the singular even though it is in the plural because it is the PLURAL OF MAJESTY..."

----------

Do you think you are more clever than "Rabbeinu Sa'adiah Gaon"? ... Christians?

No One Can Die For The Sins Of Another. It Is The Soul That Sins That Shall Die.

 No One Can Die For The Sins Of Another. It Is The Soul That Sins That Shall Die. Deuteronomy 24:16. “Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin. Ezekiel 18:20. The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself. 2 Chronicles 25:4. However, he did not put their children to death, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, which the Lord commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor sons be put to death for fathers, but each shall be put to death for his own sin.” Jeremiah 31:29-30. “In those days they will not say again, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’

✨WAS ISLAM SPREAD BY THE SWORD?✨

👉It is a common misconception with some non-Muslims that Islam would not have millions of adherents all over the world, if it had not been spread by the use of force. The following points will make it clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it was the inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was responsible for the rapid spread of Islam. Islam has always given respect and freedom of religion to all faiths.  Freedom of religion is ordained in the Quran itself: “There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion.  The right course has become clear from the wrong.”  (Quran 2:256) The noted historian De Lacy O’Leary wrote:[1]  “History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated.” The famous historian, Thomas Carlyle, in his book Heroes and Hero worship, refers to this misconcep
