Who says there is only one God? What if there is more than one supreme deity? What if Greek mythology is right by claiming the existence of many gods inhabiting Mount Olympus? What if Mormonism is correct in stating that each one of us will eventually become gods someday? How do we answer Hinduism which believes that there are literally millions of gods indwelling every known thing held in this universe?
Let me ask you, is God one or many? There are only two reasons in this entire universe given that answer these questions:
- God declares to us in His Word that He Himself is the only God.
- Having more than one God is a logical impossibility.
"Come now, and let us reason together." - Isaiah 1:18
Now, I understand that the verse above is not written in the context of the subject that I am writing about. However, what we can draw from this and many other passages in Scripture is that God is very logical. He is pro-logic and has made us to function coherently as well. He did not give us a brain to waste, but He desires us to use this three pound instrument to think. We were made to reason. Look at the verses below:
"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!" - Deuteronomy 6:4
"...there is no God besides Me." - Isaiah 44:6
Deuteronomy 32:39; 2 Samuel 7:22; 1 Kings 8:60; 1 Chronicles 17:20; Nehemiah 9:6; Psalm 86:10; Isaiah 43:10-11; John 17:3; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5.
There is no question on the fact that Scripture is clear by declaring that God is one and there is none besides Him! Now that we have established this truth from God's Word, there should be absolutely no question on the fact that God is one. So then why is it logically absurd to say there is more than one All-Supreme Being?
As I stated above, Scripture is clear on God's oneness and supreme authority. However, if one were to reason the logical fundamentals, then you would discover that the very definition of God means to be of the highest essence. Thus it is impossible to have two highest entities.
God, by defining nature, is higher than everything and every person. If you think about it, the only possible way there could even be a god is if He were at an infinite level above all the rest. If God was not infinite, then God would not be God. Therefore, He is bigger and higher than everyone and everything, thus there can be no room for seconds.
God is not fighting someone for sovereign control. Whether you like it or not, Jesus is God and all authority is in the palm of His hands. Again, I want to emphasize that GOD by very definition proclaims that He is the Author, Founder, and Creator of all things and all peoples.
The likelihood of there being multiple gods is not improbable, it's impossible! No angel, nor principality, nor rulers, nor powers, nor world forces, nor any other created thing, would be capable of existing apart from the one God giving it life and setting it in motion.
NOTE: If GOD is infinitely, inconceivably, and incomparably above all persons and all things, then there can be no equal; And if you are not equal, you are not GOD!
