Names of God

the sons of God were angels, although as previously mentioned they are not necessarily limited to just angels, more on that later. The phrase “sons of God” comes from the Hebrew words “beney elohim” or “beney ha-elohim”. “Beney” simply means “sons”. So what is an elohim? Elohim is often associated as one of the names of God, for instance, “In the beginning God (elohim) created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen 1:1). Elohim is actually the plural of el (or eloah). This plurality of God is where…

anxiously waiting for your loved one to come back to life. “In 2010, the number of atheists had fallen to 136,582,200 or 2.0% of the population. The term "atheism" originated from the Greek (atheos), meaning "without god(s)", used as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the Gods worshiped by the larger society.” Atheists are totally against Jehovah’s existence. What they don’t know is that He is the reason why we even exist, and why we have the chance to live the blessing he…

would not be completely satisfied by all the aspects of it. Islam and Hinduism are the second and third most followed religions in the world and are both in agreement on their conceptualization of God. Islam emphasizes the oneness of God, Allah, in several ways such as their ninety-nine different names for Allah. In a similar fashion, Hinduism focuses on the idea of the supreme existence/absolute reality of the universe. Brahman, Atman, or the Supreme Self, which encompasses everything is…

out to God for protection. Jeremiah knows that the words he speaks do not fall kindly on the people of Israel. Simply preaching in the name of the Lord could get Jeremiah killed. Jeremiah is the object of an assassination plot, so he prays to his God for protection. He shows that he has immense trust in the Lord and trusts God with his life. In the second passage, 15: 10-21, there is another plea to God. In both of these passages Jeremiah is put in dangerous situations and he asks God for…

formless, nameless and abode-less, That Hidden One became Manifest, and took a million Names. The word guptā, which literally means ‘hidden’, refers to the Dhāt, the Kanz al-Makhfī (Hidden Treasure), the Ghayb al-ghuyūb (Mystery of the mysteries) or the Transcendent, the Absolute. Becoming pragat (manifest, evident, pervasive) refers to the Ṣifāt, the Immanent, the Relative aspect of the Divine - the Nūr. All Divine Names and Attributes relate to the Nūr. In the first two lines of this…

Names comes in all shapes and sizes. Just by taking a gander at our names, we can view into a window to the past. Last names are the utmost important part of anyone’s name, since it is past done from generation to generation. The meaning and the way names are spelled changes over time and across the world. Our names, meanings, nicknames, and why we were named what we were, are just a few ways that shape are uniqueness. Originating from the Greek name Alexandros, Alexander signified "shielding…

The name Kelsey comes from an old English name given name Ceolsige which means “ships victory” or it could be a place name meaning “Cenels island” is a combination of the old English word cenel. Meaning “ fierce “ and “eg” meaning island. I wokld wo different stories about how my name was picked. My dad thinks my mom picked it from a person named Kelsey Grammer of the TV show Fraser. My mom said that's now how I got my name. She says I got my name from a list of names that they liked. My…

get excited when people ask me what my full name is. Even though my middle name is popular (and apparently my first name, too), it feels like everything falls into place when I say, “Emma Elizabeth Eichenberger” because my initials spell out “EEE”, which perfectly describes the squealing noise I make whenever I’m excited about something. Ask my friends, and they’ll tell you I’m just about pumped for anything. My parents always told me that they had a name picked out for me well before I was…

convenient if I could say that the God of the Bible is the same God of the Koran. There would be a lot less tension on both sides for some. I simply cannot say that to be true. Through my research on both sides I am convinced that the God of the Bible is not the same God of the Koran. People have worshipped gods since human existence began, but to say that Allah is the same God as Yahweh Elohim of the Bible is just a false statement; There is no way they can be the same God due to the violence…

interesting and hilarious stories about how they were given their first and/middle names. Regrettably, I am not one of those people. Although I’m sure it would have been impressive to have a riotous tale. My Father did the most of the naming, as I’m told when asked about my name. He claimed that his Aunt did have a somewhat big influence into his choice. His Aunt’s full name is Laura Elizabeth Kennedy and liking the name Elizabeth, he abbreviated it and got Elise. My Father also said that he had…
