>>17784215 (OP)>Abrahamists>Genesis 1:26 (Moses wrote Genesis): "Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.’”1. The Hebrew word for God here is “Elohim”, a plural noun, but used with singular verbs — indicating a complex unity.
2. The use of “Us” and “Our” is not angelic consultation (angels don’t create), but a reference to the divine persons working together.
>Deuteronomy 6:4 – “The Shema”: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One!”1. The Hebrew word for “one” here is "echad", which can mean a compound unity (as in Genesis 2:24 “the two shall become one flesh”).
2. Moses affirms oneness, but not absolute singularity (which would be “yachid”).
>John 8:56 — Jesus speaking: “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”Christ is revealing that Abraham prophetically saw the coming Messiah (Jesus Himself) and rejoiced.
This may allude to:
1. Genesis 18, when the Lord appeared to Abraham in human form (with two others).
2. Or Genesis 22, where Abraham sacrifices Isaac—a type of Christ—and says, “God will provide for Himself the lamb” (v.8), fulfilled in Christ.
Only religion that is Abrahamists is Christianity.
