I watched on the History channel this two hour program on who wrote the Bible. I’m even tempted to buy the DVD, if they sell it.
One concept of interest was the Documentary Hypothesis theory. Basically it states that there were four authors of the five books of Moses. Mr. “E” used Elohim as name of the Deity.
In my first area in Bogalusa, LA, we got into a discussion (or argument) with a preacher over the name of Deity. I knew what he was getting at, because I had thought about this before. He was not looking for titles, but a name. Like Bob, or John.
I then told him it was Elohim as stated in the Bible Dictionary. He thought what I said was way out in left field. My missionary companion said it was modern day revelation that gave us that information. How can t be, if it appears on the History Channel?
Is this His name or just another of many titles?
