Where do you get your definitions? I ask, because I have looked Elohiym up in 3 different bible dictionaries. The first gives:
0430 אלהים ‘elohiym [el-o-heem’]
plural of 0433; n m p; [BDB-43a] [{See TWOT on 93 @@ "93c" }]
AV-God 2346, god 244, judge 5, GOD 1, goddess 2, great 2, mighty 2, angels 1, exceeding 1, God-ward + 04136 1, godly 1; 2606
1) (plural)
1a) rulers, judges
1b) divine ones
1c) angels
1d) gods
2) (plural intensive-singular meaning)
2a) god, goddess
2b) godlike one
2c) works or special possessions of God
2d) the (true) God
2e) God
The other two give very similar definitions. None of them says that it means "God of the living ones," as you say it does.
I would offer.
The mysterious word faith as power . Whose?
As
sons of
God.
God calls us
gods having the same
Spirit of
God as
it is written .In that way He is the God of
living ones. (spirits)
Our Father as the unseen source of
faith as
it is writen, miraculously gives
us little of his
power (
faith) he pours out. Calling the believer "ye of
little faith" . Not a rebuke but a fact . Plenty to do his good will
When the father increased the work (forgive 7 times 70) Peter prayed increase your faithful power that works in us .. Faith the unseen eternal is Power.
Satan would have it his way. "Out of sight out of mind" fools .. . I am from Missouri. Sign and wonders seekers as if true prophecy as
