Summations Only

And wealth.

I always wondered how many gods are there?

Are you unaware of what the "us" refers to, or protesting it?

And God said, let us make man in our image. Genesis 1:26Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods. Exodus 18:11Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? Exodus 15:11Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you.) Deuteronomy 6:14-15Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord. Psalm 86:8I just don't know how many there are that's all.

Now ringo, don't be guilty of thinking about this in only 1 dimension. The Reformation came about because of a complex mix of reasons; some of the spiritual, some political, some social, some natural consequences of humanism that began taking shape in Europe a couple hundred years earlier. Spirituality DID play a major role in the Reformation. It is just not a simple set of reasons. Much like all major world events such as WWI, WWII, the Renaissance, etc.HBD

It depends on the period. Early Hebrew/Judaism was polytheistic; Yahweh was there local god but there were many other gods. Often gods were attached to a place and ineffective on some other gods territory. A great example is found in 2 Kings. It's the story of Naaman, a Syrian who had leprosy is cured by following the instructions of Elisha. Once cured he asked to take some soil back with him so he could worship Elisha's god. So there is an acknowledgement that even worshiping other gods is acceptable and that Yahweh was the God of Israel and Judah and attached to the soil of that area.

It's not quite that simple though. It's kind of an, umm, contradiction...again. So there's that.
Then there are a number of places saying there is but one god. So another contradiction.
Complicated stuff :-))))

Those are not at all contradictory.Read them again.They talk about the God of a people. Neither of those says that there is only one god.For most of the Old Testament the idea of multiple gods is accepted. Of course the Israelites were sure their god had the biggest dick of them all.What is said in most of the Old Testament is that the Hebrews should not have any other gods.

There's really no problem. Since God is here identifying Himself in the "us" this can only refer to the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all of them God, three Persons all of whom are the one God.All the other gods referred to in the Bible are created beings, fallen angels or demons: All these references are to the many demon gods, how many could be billions, all the angels that fell with Lucifer, or it could be a select number that took the role of "gods" among people.

And one god: So I don't know how many there are.Edited by Golffly, : No reason given.

There is one God. One uncreated Being who created everything else.

Neither did the Hebrews. It depended on the era and tradition.

No there is no mention of Trinity here. You made that up. No there is no mention on demon gods here. You made that up.

There is no "mention" of Trinity anywhere in the Bible, it's implied in many descriptions of God nevertheless, and I certainly didn't "make up" this understanding of the "us" in Genesis, it's included in every discussion of the Trinity. Same with the demons, I certainly didn't make that up either.see Leviticus 17:7 And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.and Deuteronomy 32:17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The bible talks about multi-gods on a number of occasions.
To reconcile that, you or the cult, made up this demon god story.
However, if you read the bible ( to quote jar), you'd see that isn't the case.
