Hello Tim, You still haven’t answered my questions. 1) Explain the Bible’s use of theos for Satan as found in 2 Cor. 4:4. Is Satan an evil god or not? In view of Deut. 10:17 you say there are no other “gods”. Do you likewise say there are not other “lords”? You write, “However, in Isaiah, Jehovah several times denies that there are any other gods but Him. I have asked you several times, but you have refused to answer: Was Jehovah wrong? Did He lie?” I have answered this question. No, Jehovah was not wrong. He did not lie. On the other hand expressions such as is found in Deut.10:17; Ex 18:11; 2 Chr. 2:5; Ps 97:9 Dan 2:47 and Dan 11:36 “And the king will actually do according to his own will, and he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god; and against the God of gods” show us that there are others in the Bible that Jehovah references as gods. As already noted at Psalm 8:5, the angels are referred to as elohim, as is confirmed by Paul’s quotation of the passage at Hebrews 2:6-8. These texts must be reconciled with the one in Isaiah 43:10. Interestingly, Jesus Christ Son of God is never referred to as “God of gods”, yet Jehovah is many times. As, already stated numerous times there is only One Almighty God that is to be worshipped as the Almighty God and Creator and Father of Jesus the Son of God. |

Greetings Tara! I have answered your question many times, but I will do so again. Satan may be worshipped as a 'god', but he is not a god. Consider the following passage from Isaiah: Is. 44:14 - "He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow. 15 It is man’s fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also fashions a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. 16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, 'Ah! I am warm; I see the fire.' 17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, 'Save me; you are my god.' 18 They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand. 19 No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, 'Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?' 20 He feeds on ashes, a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, 'Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?'" I have never denied that people call many things 'gods'! What I have denied is that there are in fact actually other gods. Would you say that the idol mentioned above in Isaiah is actually a god? Now, as to my question to you, you say that Jehovah did not lie, yet you claim that there are in fact other gods. How can this be? Jehovah said: 'There are no other gods besides me'. You say: 'There are other gods besides Jehovah!' One of you is wrong, because both statements cannot be true at the same time. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello Tim, Enough said, I see it, you don't. Millions of others see it, including some six million of Jehovah's Witnesses. But facts do show that more see it your way, but that doesn't make it right. Have a nice day, enjoyed the dialogue with you. Tara |

Greetings Tara! I too appreciated the dialogue, but millions of people believing a lie doesn't make it true! ;-) 'No other gods' simply can't mean 'other gods'! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
