The Elohim Does Not Represent The Holy Trinity
Here Paul Wallis explains why he does not believe that the word Elohim represents “The Holy Trinity” as claimed by many people of faith.

There Are Many Problems to That Reaction
“Well there are many problems to that reaction, and the first is that the Holy Trinity is a Christian doctrine it. It is separated from the work and intent of the original authors by Millennia. The Theology of the most recent redactors of the Hebrew Cannon was a monotheistic theology they did not believe in multiple gods, and in fact the insertion of the Holy Name Yahweh over earlier Elohim stories such as we see in Genesis 3 or Genesis 11 reveals that that later redactor is turning the stories of the Elohim into a story of God . It’s those adjustments that throw up many of the moral problems.”
Why Would a Loving God Genocide People?

The Original Stories are about something else. Elohim what I would argue are “powerful ones”
