Bible Note: Greetings Pcdarcan! A couple of points my friend! First of all, how can two contradictory statements both be true. Suppose someone said, 'God does exist' and someone else says, 'God does not exist'. Both statement cannot be true! Neither can it be true that there is 'no other god' besides God and there is 'other gods' besides God. Your attempt to explain this contradiction away is based upon 'big G' and 'little g'. Yet, Hebrew does not make this distinction. The same word is used in both instances. God says, "I am elohim". And God says, 'There is no other elohim besides Me'. It is amazing to me how many people will ignore the plain words of Scripture, but believe words and meanings that are not even in Scripture. :-( Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
