I have not given thought to this ...Greetings Omar,<br /><br />I have not given thought to this aspect of Gen. 1:2, but it is not clear to me how what's written above proves the holy spirit is God. They say that copyists added "de," but what Hebrew word is that? Why would that word show that the spirit is God?<br /><br />Ruach is just the Hebrew for wind, breath, spirit<br /><br />Elohim can be translated God or god/gods. It contains a plural suffix, but often refers to the one God of Israel. For the argument that Gen. 1:2 serves as proof of the spirit's deity, see https://fosterheologicalreflections.blogspot.com/2010/05/is-trinity-explicit-bible-teaching-some.html<br /><br />See the explanation of Gen 1:2 given here: https://biblicalstudies.org.uk/pdf/ijt/26-1_029.pdf<br /><br />Here is information on the grammar of Gen. 1:2ff--http://people.math.umass.edu/~rsellis/Honors391AH/12translations-of-gen-ch1-v1-5.pdf<br /><br />Another interesting article is this one: https://faculty.gordon.edu/hu/bi/ted_hildebrandt/otesources/01-genesis/text/articles-books/ouro-gen1_2_pt3_auss.pdfEdgar Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280475259670777653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13958708.post-69040747935570668172017-10-01T21:33:51.574-07:002017-10-01T21:33:51.574-07:00greetings Edgar, a question about Genesis 1: 2 as ...greetings Edgar, a question about Genesis 1: 2 as to how to translate ruach elohim, the objection they have given me is this: "ruach elohim is literally translated" the spirit of God "some copyists added the word" de " when that word does not appear in ruach elohim then that would indicate that the holy spirit is called God or rather it is God ยป. that is the argument that has been presented to me, how could I respond to that objection? I would add that you help me with the Hebrew grammar in the phrase ruach elohim to know where it comes from.
