    Once again: Elohim (transliteration, real spelling is in hebrew) is just a name of god. It is also plural, as 'im', pronounced 'eem', is how hebrew pluralizes words. Unlike the english versions of the bible there is actually meaning to which word is used for god in each place in the torah, whether its 'yud hey vuhv hey' (pronounced adonai), elohim, eloheinu, etc.

    In high school when we were learning about Judism (this was a study of religions class) we came across the names Elohim, Jenovah and Yahweh. I forgot where each had their name come from but the most common now I think is Elohim (the one Moses used).

    Elohim is the least used name by the Jews. In fact, Jews cannot speak the name of god aloud during prayer or written scripture, they use the word Adonai instead. Yahweh and Jenovah are the exact same thing, it's just when they translated יהוה (Yahweh), they spelled it oddly as Jehova for some reason... it's a hebrew thing.

    In fact, Jews are so strict with the name of god, if you write it down on a piece of paper or anything you must bury it in the earth. Most devout jews I know that are into Kaballah and whatnot will never say the name of god.

    EDIT: If I've offended any Jews by typing it out above just now, I apologize.

    When we were studying Judism we used Elohim :3 So that's why I thought it was the most common.

    think these are jehova's witnesses but the title said mormons, so it's somewhat relevant

    If they get insistant, I ask them how their chrch would feel about my favorite pastime of fucking many other men, cuz that's kinda like polygamy, right?

    They tend to leave pretty quickly at that point.
    Answer your door naked next time, they used to come around here like every week, they haven't come back since then, lol.
