Elohim and YHWH are two names of the same God.

The earlier comment was Elohim was the OT name of the Father; YHWH was the OT name of Jesus...this is not true.

So from your knowledge of Hebrew, tell me what the definition of the word Elohim is. Please be as comprehensive as you can. The word has a literal meaning. It does not mean “God”.

Just an aside:
Elohiym is the plural of el. El means mighty one, diety, or God. By using the plural when naming Himself in Genesis 1, Yahweh implies His paternal nature, His maternal form (Rauch/Spirit), and their physical representation, Yahushua. There is only One, Yahweh, yet the plural ‘elohiym’ confirms His redemptive and relationship manifestations, The Son and The Spirit, co-existing eternally. Yahweh names Himself as Creator in Genesis 1, ‘Elohiym, thus confirming Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are One, God.
