Bible Question:
Greetings Tara! Who did Jehovah call 'gods' in Deut. 10:17? Answer: no one! He uses a phrase God of gods and Lord of lords to describe His uniqueness. The verse does not say that there are other gods at all. 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? The JW's are false witnesses teaching the very thing that Jehovah denied - that there are other gods. Be honest with the text my friend! Jehovah is quite clear in His statement and does not qualify it in any way! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: Yikes, not to enter a quagmire, but that doesn't make sense to me Bro. Tim. You say: "The verse does not say there are other gods at all." I don't believe the true God would need to use a phrase "God of gods" to distinquish himself from "non-existent" gods - past, present, of future. You seem to be interpreting the scripture to say, "I am the only God and there are no other gods in existence". But it doesn't say that and why did God forewarn earlier in Deut: "You must never have ANY OTHER gods against my face." (Deut 5:7) I don't really want to get involved in this discussion, it just jumped out at me because the interpretation you suggest seems to be specious and forced reasoning. pd |
