Our Terminology IS NOT Adequate to Describe the God of the Bible: Dr. Michael Heiser

"Yahweh is the God of gods." Well, not really, because there aren't any other ones. But again, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense in a lot of passages, but we define monotheism that way. So what my advice to people is, look, dump the terminology. Just describe what a biblical writer would believe about the uniqueness of Yahweh. Biblical writers believed was that there were many elohim. Only one of them is Yahweh. He is unique when it comes to a specific set of attributes. So Yahweh is an elohim, (there's a bunch of those) but no other elohim is Yahweh." from video introduction.
