<p>I know this is going to start a lot of problems (maybe), but has anyone else ever noticed that God is “a” forgiving God, suggesting that there is more than one? Even in the Hebrew (Torah) and the Muslim (Qu’ran), God is refered to as “a” (one among many; indefinite) forgiving guy.</p>
<p>bye! tlorlnig!</p>
<p>Father Ted: (praying) “…you who are most forgiving of all gods…”
Bishop Brennan: “‘All gods’? What other gods would there be, Crilly?”
Father Ted: (thinking) “…false gods?”</p>
<p>There’s obviously only one God.</p>
<p>Isn’t it like in order of what came first:</p>
<p>The Torah–>Bible–>The Qur’an.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure…especially in Islam…associating anything with God is considered as a sin.</p>
<p>A person can have multiple delusions, so it makes sense that there can be multiple gods.</p>
<p>I think the same thing, why would God need to be a jealous god if there were no other gods to be jealous of?</p>
<p>I think it has to do with the translation of the original texts, perhaps there wasn’t the same distinction of articles like a/an/the. For example, in Latin there are no articles at all. You can use an adjective to emphasis “the only one” but it’s not the same thing really.</p>

<p>also, in some religions the gods ARE very jealous of each other, like in greek polytheism…read homer’s stuff!</p>
<p>Obviously there is more than one god, pshhhh.</p>
<p>in lain, however, topicalization distinguishes between definite and indefinite… either the latinophiles who transcribed the bible werent as savvy as they thought they were and let confusion be made within the latin language, or there is room for interpretation.</p>

<p>Well, biblically speaking, God refers to God in the plural, at least in Genesis… yes, odd.</p>
<p>Genesis 26: Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…</p>
<p>I agree with our Founding Father and our 3rd president, Thomas Jefferson:
“To talk of immaterial existences is to talk of nothings. To say that the human soul, angels, God, are immaterial, is to say they are nothings, or that there is no God, no angels, no soul. I cannot reason otherwise: but I believe I am supported in my creed of materialism by Locke, Tracy, and Stewart. At what age of the Christian church this heresy of immaterialism, this masked atheism, crept in, I do not know. But a heresy it certainly is. Jesus told us indeed that ‘God is a spirit,’ but he has not defined what a spirit is, nor said that it is not matter. And the ancient fathers generally, if not universally, held it to be matter: light and thin indeed, an etherial gas; but still matter.”</p>
<p>obviously there are many gods… zeus just struck a jesus statue in ohio with lightning recently. they’re really jealous of each other, apparently…</p>
<p>God is a jealous God because people can put worldly things before him, making other things more important or just as important. Some people worship their cars, rappers, artists, etc. the other gods (little g gods) that people cherish over God. People make gods, buy gods, sell gods, steal gods because their priorities aren’t in order.</p>
<p>TheAscendancy if I could like you comment, I would.</p>
<p>It depends on your definition of “god,” I guess. By the Christian definition, there can only be one. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I’m sure it’s just a translation error, or God testing you, or the Devil trying to tempt you, or just God working in Mysterious ways. After all, the Bible isn’t Perfect, since Man wrote It. Uh… Thou?</p>
<p>Gotakun, no see, man wrote it and edited it while inspired by God. </p>
<p>At least, that’s what my friend says, and that’s why her version of the Bible is the only right one.</p>
<p>Yeah, I do all my work while inspired by God, too.</p>
