29. Another fact about God is that He is numerically one, yet here is what the GC Adventists tell us:
“The English word ‘one’ is used to translate two words in biblical Hebrews: yahid
(unique, only son, Genesis 22:2) and echad (those united in marriage ‘become one in
flesh’ Genesis 2:24). ‘The Lord our God is on ‘translates echad, and means God is not
solitary, even though He is unique. It suggests that God is united, or more than one
Person.” Ibid p. 21

Person.” Ibid p. 21
i. They have used one of the Hebrew words for one “echad” without inspiration to
suggest that this is saying that God is more than one person but is united.
ii. This reinforces the erroneous idea that God is three divine persons.
30. However the word “echad” literally means one like the number 1 (one) here is the proof.
i. When God says He is one (echad) YHWH, the word cannot be united or a united
YHWH. Deuteronomy 6:4
ii. Echad means one like the number one as it is evident in these Scriptures.
Genesis 48:22; Numbers 28:4; Deuteronomy 12:14; Deuteronomy 17:4; Joshua
10:2; Joshua 12:21; 2Samuel 12:3; Psalms 53:3; Jeremiah 52:21, 22.
iii. When echad is used for a united one, the issue is not the “united
but that the plural amount is as the number one. So numerical one is used to
show oneness. Judges 20:8; 2 Samuel 2:25.
iv. Thus God is one God and this is numerically one like the number one. Galatians
3:20
