    Elokim (as we call it so not to mention G-d's name) is one of G-d's
many names. It is supposed to refer to his legal and judicial entity. This
is called in hebrew Midas Hadin. When G-d punishes man for his wrong doings
he is said to be judging us.Some of your descriptions of Elokim are evidence
that you were misinformed.
