Hi, Babs!
You may be hard-pressed to find verification of this Ancient Scholar's view.
From e-Sword/Strong's:
Quote:
אלהים
'ĕlôhı̂ym
el-o-heem'
Plural of H433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: - angels, X exceeding, God (gods) (-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
Also, Jesus said,
Quote:
Joh 10:30 I and the Father are one.
Joh 10:31 The Jews took up stones again to stone him.
Joh 10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
Joh 10:33 The Jews answered him, For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Joh 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods?
Joh 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
Joh 10:36 say ye of him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
(Emphasis added)
"gods" is
Quote:
θεός
theos
theh'-os
Of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially the supreme Divinity; figuratively a magistrate; by Hebraism very: - X exceeding, God, god [-ly, -ward].
Jesus was quoting Psa. 82:
Quote:
I said, Ye are gods [elohim], And all of you sons of the Most High. Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.
I really can't see elohim referring to a "place of habitation," although I could believe someone might want to "adjust" Gen. 1:1 -- In the beginning, 'a place of habitation' created the heavens and the earth -- to avoid the trinitarian implication thereof.
