God (Elohim) is a PLURAL name and identifies the Trinity, the invisible Spirit of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Lord God (YHWH) is a singular name and identifies God the Son, the only God ever formed physically.
Amen. YHWH is the incarnate Son of God, called Jesus in the New Testament.
God the Trinity is invisible and has NO form. YHWH/Jesus is God incarnate/physically.
Amen. Jesus IS the Light of the first Day and the Light of Heaven.
Rev 21:23 Jesus is LORD. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.
See? Lord (YHWH) is the man, Jesus Christ.
Rev 1:8
You got it. Elohim is invisible and YHWH has a physical body. Jesus is the ONLY God you will ever see.
Col 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Col 1:15 ¶ Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 2:9 For in Him (Jesus) dwelleth ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
There is no clear reference to the Trinity for the name Elohim.
Elohim is the general name for God and is used in the context of God as creator. It emphasizes that God is distant and powerful. It is used to describe God as the awesome and majestic creator.
Yahweh (the LORD) is God's personal name and is used in the context of God having a relationship with His people. When God goes about creating humanity, it is
Yahweh who does this act. When the Lord is personally involved with His people,
Yahweh is the proper way to designate Him.
The name of the Creator God is
Yahweh. The name of our Savior is
Jesus. How do we know this? There are many differences.
One is the father and one is the son.
John 5:
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
I Corinthians 8:
4b. …an idol is nothing in the world, and there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But, to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him: AND one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
Many similar scriptures clearly delineate between Father and Son – identifying them as two, separate, distinct personalities. By definition, sons issue forth from fathers. Fathers precede their sons, necessarily. Otherwise, a father is not a father, and a son is not a son. A son cannot be his own father, nor can a father be his own son. Such an absurdity would nullify the meaning of the terms "father" and "son" and render the language useless.
One is the creator and the other one is a creation.
Colossians 1:
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
This says that Jesus was created. He is "the firstborn" (greatest) of all
creatures (i.e. things created). If Jesus was created then it had to be Yahweh who created Him. If Yahweh created Jesus, then Jesus cannot be Yahweh. The Created is not the Creator. The logic is simple.
Of course, someone might argue, "But, doesn’t this scripture go on to tell us that Jesus created all things that are in heaven and earth? That must mean that Jesus was the Creator!"
Verse 16 reads:
For in him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created through him, and for him:
"All things created" (i.e. this universe, if you will) were created ultimately
for the Son who was to inherit all things. This verse has been used in the past to suggest that Jesus was the Creator in Genesis.
But what does it really say? Yahweh created all things for Jesus the Son – inheritor of all things. They were created in Him and for Him. Dominions, principalities, thrones, powers – all things are IN him.
