Bible Question (short): Who are "the other Gods"? |
Question (full): Reading the bible I came across the expression:"other Gods" several times and I examined the matter. I found 65(!) verses containing the expression. There is no explanation about who they are, (exept for Baal(-Sebub) who according to an explanation in the back of a bible is the "Lord of flies" - is Belzebub - is Satan). The expression implies however, that there are other Gods. Who are they? Interesting is though, that this expression is only used in ten books of the OLD testament, starting at Exod 18:11 and ending at Hos 3:1 |
