Page 63 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference

Above archaeologists have found and reconstructed an ancient Pagan Canaanite Temple in Northern Israel. Note that in the Canaanite Temple upon the high altar stand the Pagan Triad of EL, Baal, and Ashtoreth. The same gods under different names was universally the Pagan Trinity. EL was the chief, first Person or “God the Father” over some seventy Elohim or Gods of the Canaanite pantheon. The other Pagan gods in the Canaanite pantheon were called the Elohim/Gods. This is where the terms EL and Elohim came from the ancient Pagan Canaanite language and Mythology. The Jews placed EL and Elohim [as well as Adonai or Lord/Baal, El-oah is also the singular in Hebrew] in the Scriptures to replace the real singular Name of God because they thought that his Name was too holy to be said or profaned. However, by doing this they cause more confusion to humanity than anything else. This is why Trinitarians think today that when one reads the word God or Elohim in the Bible that it really should mean Gods plural, or mean that there is a Trinity. However, using a Pagan term from the idolatrous Canaanite religious system that was placed in the Scriptures by Jewish Theologians that did not want to take the real Name of God in vain to prove that there is a Trinity is erroneous pluralistic syncretistic thinking. EL and Elohim are terms originally used for false idol gods not the One True God. Remember, God revealed his Name to Moses as the Great I AM, [EHYEH ASHER EHYEH] he did not claim to be “Elohim” this term has been applied to him by men. The Hebrew Theologians use the term Elohim to mean “Mighty God” not “Mighty Gods”. The idol EL is the first Person of the ELOHIM.
