False gods

".., apparently only a few have the right disposition to delve into such insights."

Elitism!

Not so in Christianity. In God's eyes we're all equal, and even the most ignorant can attain to spiritual maturity.

Exodus 34:14
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord,
whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:

Now that is a strange sentence construction if there are no other gods.

If I say to you"Don't move any of your pieces except the king" isn't
there an implicit idea there that there are other pieces to move?

Whatever one worships is one's god. That can be anything.

God is jealous of worship because He knows that without Him there is no life. Only God can create life, and only the one true God can give life.

Simple logic.

False gods can be anything? That probably explains the 8000 I heard.

You should have said from the offset that "false-gods" = anything.



However Suzianne does not agree with you.

The question which Wolfgang seems to ask is whether, to the people to whom this was addressed, the Lord was the ONLY god, or merely the strongest?

yes we share the same "god-spark" or whatever, as we all have eyes and heads and similar brains,etc. however every single one of us is unique.
So should their path to "godhood" be unique, their own.

Copying is death

Yahweh aka Elohim aka Jehovah aka Jealous aka "God"

You would think someone carrying this many ids would have something to hide!

Apparently there are 8,000 gods mentioned in the bible.

Why don't you stop spreading lies?

Well, I am not sure where the 8000 figure comes from, pe ...[text shortened]... ttle between The Lord, and the Other Gods, after which God says the Israelites went "a-whoring".[/b]

Baal means Lord

Elohim is a description and Jehovah is the Roman version of YeHoWaH

Go on, tell me more about what I agree, or disagree, with, since you seem to be the expert.
