God’s name “Elohim,” common in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition, is always used with verbs in the singular even though it is in the plural form. It is shown here that the ungrammatical usage can be seen as the best solution to a natural problem. Namely, tradition assumes that it should be impossible to talk about a general category of gods within which the one God could be located. The best and perhaps the only way to prevent the implicit pluralization of the unique God is to put his name in plural even though it is intended to be used as if it were singular. One cannot form the plural form of the name that is already grammatically plural! Surprisingly, this explanation seems to have been considered by neither classical nor modern commentators.

Proponowany tekst jest próbą syntetycznej analizy chrystologii Kościoła Jezusa Chrystusa Świętych w Dniach Ostatnich, nazywanych mormonami. Najpierw autor analizuje oryginalną koncepcję chrystologiczną mormonów, a następnie porównuje ją z teologią chrześcijańską. Okazuje się, że (uważane za natchnione) oficjalne nauczanie mormonów dotyczące natury, pochodzenia, misji, zmartwychwstania Chrystusa oraz paruzji jest niekompatybilne z chrystologią tradycyjnych wyznań chrześcijańskich. Proponowany tekst może być przyczynkiem do dalszych badań nad rolą osoby Jezusa Chrystusa nie tyle w oficjalnej wykładni tej nowej, parachrześcijańskiej religii, ile w codziennym życiu adeptów nowego Kościoła, zwłaszcza w obszarze modlitwy, liturgii i relacji wewnątrzgrupowych.

The author analyses the original christological concept propounded by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), and compares it with the Christian theology. It turns out that the official Mormon teaching on Christ’s nature, origins, mission, resurrection and Parousia (thought of as inspired) is incompatible with the christology of the traditional Christian denominations. Despite J. Smith’s and his successors’ radical departure from the pronouncements of Christian denominations, the proposed text may encourage further research into the person of Jesus Christ and his role in – perhaps, not so much the official teaching of this new, para-christian religion – but in the everyday life of Mormons, especially in their prayers, liturgy and communal relationships.
