Is it? So tell me, in the opening line of the Bible, "Berosheth bara' elohim eth ha shamayim we 'eth ha'aretz" (sorry, haven't worked out how to do superscripts) is the verb singular or plural? And do you notice that lack of the definite article in front of 'elohim'? So, not THE gods at all.

In the beginning Gods created the heaven and the earth.

And again? Is the verb singular or plural? And why are you insisting on 'heaven' (singular)? 'shamayim' has the same 'plural' ending as 'elohim'?

In the beginning Gods created the heavens and the earth.

One more time, for the hard of thinking, is the verb singular or plural? Simple question to which there are two - and only three - answers: Singular, Plural and "I don't know". Which is it?

The Jews believe in at least 7 heavens. The Gospel of Peter I think mentions 12.

So what?
