Bible Note: Greetings Pcdarcan! Enter at your own risk! ;-) Allow me to explain it this way! Basic logic demands that we start with the simplest statements first and then build from there. In Isaiah, I have demonstrated time and time again that Jehovah says, 'There ARE NO OTHER GODS BESIDES ME'. This is a simple statement. It cannot be true that there are 'other gods' and are not 'other gods' at the same time! These are two contadictory statements. Now, I have acknowledged that people do in fact worship false gods. These false gods do not really exist anywhere except in the minds of their worshippers. So, someone writting to a worshipper of Molech could say that Jehovah is greater than Molech. This does not mean that Molech actually exists. This all the phrase 'God of gods' means. Pick any false god worshipped by anyone, and God is greater. Why? He is greater because He actually exists and has demonstrated His existence through His actions in Israel. The problem I have been having with this thread is that so many seem to be ignoring Jehovah's plain and simple statement. Either He is right or He is wrong! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
