How many Gods are there, one or many?

cf. Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10; 44:6, 8 and Genesis 1:26; 3:22; 11:7; 1 Cor. 8:5; I John 5:8

One God:

"Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one!" (Deuteronomy 6:4).

". . .Before Me [YHWH] there was no God formed, and there will be none after Me" (Isaiah 43:10).

". . .there is no God besides Me" (Isaiah 44:6).

". . .And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, or is there any other Rock? I know of none" (Isaiah 44:8.)

Many gods:

"Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness . . . .'" (Genesis 1:26).

"And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil . . . .'" (Genesis 3:22).

"Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other" (Genesis 11:7)

"For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords" )" (1 Corinthians 8:5).

"For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement" (1 John 5:8.)

The Holy Scriptures tell us that there is only one God in all existence (Isaiah 43:10; 44:6, 8.) However, it also mentions "other gods so, how many Gods are there, one or many?

K

I believe there is only one God.

Well, u are right in everything said.There are a lot of such in the bible that's actually very confusing and conflicting.And if you make a move of pointing it out or criticizing it in the church or amongst brethren, the first thing they do is to tell you you are possessed.Checkout Genesis again, the first man created was an hermaphrodite, carrying both female and male entity in a male body, that was the one God referred to as the one created in his image.After creation he caused the rain to fall on the ground, after which he created man of the dust which is me and you.From which came forth Eve.

The supreme said let "us" so I will say God has others working hand in hand with him but we know not howmany they are. They were not listed.

........According to delishpots theory.

and xtians believe in three Gods smh

There are many gods,
but here is only One True God:

Jer_10:10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.

The other person in Genesis 1:26, Genesis 3:22 and Genesis 11:7 that you mentioned, is the Word

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

crusadistic:

Who are those three Gods Christians 'claim'(or you claim) they believe in.

There is only One God as some of the scriptures quoted by Op has shown.

However,there is a REVELATION of THIS ONE GOD.
For there are three that bear witness,the spirit and the water and the blood;and the three are in agreement(1 John 5:8 ).Now this is too big for religious minds to comprehend.

Genesis was an account of Genetics and DNA. The manipulation of several Adamus from being Hydrogenous to male and female.

God is an erroneous information to shield the true identities of the Extraterrestrials who manipulated the both sexed beings on the planet. Just like Genetics 1;26 claimed"Let US make man in OUR image and after OUR likeness. A verse which is pretty much straight to the
point.

And of course,every army will have a general(God/Yahweh standeth in the congregation of the mighty, he judgeth among the gods. Psalm 82:1) After all our society have only taken after the Extraterrestrial who gave us our first civilization,wars and how to make fire and weapons. Unfortunately the E.T general was Yahweh/Enkidu who was a jealous being and ruled with iron hand. He made humans labor in the garden and worship him until some certain individuals(otherwise called the serpent,and serpent is an venetian symbol of wisdom) This involved adding to man's DNA and thus making him a curious being.

Let us go down, and there confound their language. Genesis 11:7. This was an evidence that after a period of time man began to ask question and started coping the gods in various acts like war,leadership,seeking knowledge and being stubborn......which led to the gods seeking ways to destroy and manipulate them.

My point is.....There is no one "so called" God. There were many and at some point humans stopped obeying them. They may have tricked some of us into creating a Religion for them,but they are nothing special at all. Everything the ancient humans saw were nothing but technology of the gods,mistranslated into miracles and being superhuman.

How do you feel about your explanation? You need to seek for real knowledge mate and not this crap a lil baby will laugh at.

Another look at the genetic/creation story that doesn't match with one god.

. There are some verses in Qur'an which refer to God as a plural entity, like:

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ

There is lots of evidence around the world,even your favorite book;the Bible.

And the sons of goods look down on the daughters of men(from a space-craft)

The book of Enoch was clearly an interaction between men and men not born on this planet.but who also recorded encounters with angels who settled among his people and even fathered children with earth woman who in turn processed mysterious powers, physical stature and strength.

Indigenous people of North America and pieces of carved sculpture they created which depicted ancient gods, including their flying machines.

Ezekiel and the Wheel(space-ship) he had contact with,and even went as far as describing the black being(burnt brass) he had encounter with.

The space-ship that Landed on Mount Sinai,which created a lot of noise that terrified the people around.

Now moving away from the bible which you know well. The super-human gods of Egypt,Babylon and even creation stories in Africa points at the sky as the home of the gods.

The question shouldn't be about me giving you proof. The challenge to you having an open mind to accept facts and not fictions.

That's a good verse for this thread,
we know that God is one through scriptures,
and that verse shows that the one God is the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Good verse for trinity threads too.

Gal_3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

The Bible(larger part of it has got nothing to do with your religion) is an account of Time travelers/extraterrestrials who are flesh and blood like you and I. The accounts of alien abductions and DNA manipulation are stuff which shouldn't be worshiped. I never said God exist,I said those beings are not god. There is no God!!! Stop saying I said there was a God.

I used the bible because that is the only book you know.

Now I will give you some of the original stories before they got into your "Bible"

Don't be a man of one book...you need evidence from several others.
