Multiple Gods?
Posted on November 17, 2014 by The Daily Evidence

Are there multiple "Gods" as this verse implies, or is there only one as Deut. 6:4 states: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one”?

There is only one true God, the Creator of heaven and earth. The Bible teaches that God is Triune by nature. He exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—one God in three divine, co-equal Persons. For example, Scripture reveals that Jesus Christ, God the Son, was preexistent before He was manifest in human form: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1,2,14). Jesus said of Himself, “I and My Father are one” (John 10:30).

For verses mentioning the three Persons of the Trinity, see Matt. 3:16,17; John 14:26; 15:26; 2 Cor. 13:14; Gal. 4:4–6; 1 Pet. 1:2; 1 John 5:7.

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

The GODs are here with us now

"THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY"

So goes the title of a very simple prose (NOVEL)

JIHAD IS TO ISLAM
as
CRUSADE IS TO CHRISTIANITY

Both are violently oriented
Both preach hatred
Both are pretentious
Both are rooted in Abraham or Ibrahim
Both are rooted in the Middle East
Both claim superiority over and above the other
Both are effective tools in the hands of the Imperialists
Both are invented by Mankind
Their Holy books were written by men
The difference in their Timeline is about five hundred years apart.
It has been two thousand years since the advent of these religions
Two thousand years of unabated bloodshed
Two thousand of man against man
Two thousand years of silence
Two thousand years of horrendous killings
Two thousand years....
Yes, two thousand years and still counting...

Yet God is watching.....

Believe whatever you like.

Or, are these your excuses for unbelief?

Thanks for killing the silly thread MAYOWAAK! nicely done!

The Biblical Basis for the Godhead

The deity of Christ is intimately connected to the doctrine of the Godhead.  This doctrine affirms that there is only one God and that in the unity of the one Godhead there are three coequal and coeternal Persons – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

There is One God: 

In the course of God’s self-disclosure to humankind, He revealed His nature in progressive stages.  First, God revealed that He is the only true God.  This was a necessary starting point for God’s self-revelation.  Throughout history, Israel was surrounded by pagan nations deeply engulfed in the belief that there are many gods.  Through the prophets, God communicated to Israel that there is only one true God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 32:39; Psalm 86:10; Isaiah 44:6).  Even at this early juncture, however, we find preliminary indications of the godhead in (Genesis 1:26; 11:7; Isa.6:8; 48:16).  God’s oneness is also emphasized in the New Testament (Romans 3:29-30; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1Thess 1:9; 1Timothy 1:17; 2:5; James 2:19; Jude 25)

The Father Is God: 

As history unfolded, God progressively revealed more about Himself.  It eventually became clear that while there is only one God, there are three distinct persons within the one[b] godhead,[/b] each individually recognised as God (Matthew 28:19). 

The Father, for example, is explicitly called God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; Galatians 1:1; 1Peter 1:2).  He is also portrayed as having all the attributes of deity – such as being everywhere-present (Matt.19:26), all-knowing (Romans 11:33), all-powerful (1 Peter 1:5), holy (Revelation 15:4), and eternal (Psalm 90:2).

The Son Is God:  

Jesus is also explicitly called "God" in scripture (Titus 2:13; Heb.1:8.).  And He, too, has all the attributes of deity – including being everywhere-present (Matthew 28:20), all-knowing (Matthew 9:4), all-powerful (Matthew 28:18), holy (Acts 3:14), and eternal (Revelation 1:8, 17).

The Holy Spirit Is God: 

The Holy Spirit is also recognised as God (Acts 5:3-4).  He too possesses the attributes of deity, including being everywhere-present (Psalm 139:7-9), all-knowing (1 Corinthians 2:10-11), all-powerful (Romans 15:19), holy (John 16:17-14), and eternal (Hebrews 9:14).
