Hi Tim, I hesitate to add to this thread because of its length already. I am wondering however, if after all this discussion whether you feel the same need to stress the fact that there is no other god. You have said that Satan is not the god of this world, I believe, because of your belief in there being no other god. Has anything changed in your thoughts on this? From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray! Actually, I have only said that 2 Cor. 4:4 does not SAY that Satan is the god of this world. :-) That was the orginal point of my posts. I happen to believe that 2 Cor. 4:4 refers to God the Father, but that is not because of any need on my part! ;-) I believe, per Scripture, that many things are CALLED gods, but that they are not REALLY gods at all. Some people worship a hunk of wood, but it is not by nature a god. Some people worship themselves, but they are not gods. It is possible that Satan could be the 'god of this world' in that some may worship him, but that does not in fact make him a god. Scripture is clear that there are many things that are called gods, but there is only one god! (I did not use a capital in the previous verse so that you would not misunderstand my point. I am not distinguishing between 'god' and 'God' in my previous paragraph. I am distinguishing between being called a god and actually being a god.) I hope my point is clear my friend! By the way, I didn't stress the point that there is 'no other god'! God did! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, Like I said, I hesitate to continue this long thread. But lets go to a different thread and verse and discuss this more. 1) You have said that "Scripture is clear that there are many things that are called gods, but there is only one god!" Perhaps this is the verse where we should start our new thread. You are saying that there are many things that are called gods, but there is only one actual, true god. That is what I disagree with. 2) You have said here that God tells us that there is 'no other god'. :-) But that is not the case. You yourself have told us that the Greek says that "there is no other gods". Lets go to 1 Cor 8:5 or 6 and discuss it there, O.K.? From the heart, Ray |
