There is only one God. There can't be two 'gods' because that will mean confusion.... and GOD is not a God of confusion.
The problem is how many 'KNOW' Him?
Jesus said, 'and this is life eternal, that they may know You and Jesus Christ Who Thou has sent'. John 17:3.
There is only One God... the Almighty. He sent Jesus. The question with doubters is, do they know This God Who sent Jesus?

Why is the man in your house - Father.

Not every other man on the road.

Why are you yourself - I.

Not every other person on earth.

This is an honest inquiry into the mindset of religious people. I won't bother typing a long wall of text for sake of time.

My question to the Christians here: why are you atheistic about every other gods but yours?

Lets have an honest, logical discussion. My schedule will not allow pointless back and forths, so trolls will be duly ignored.

Because the only God that makes promises and fulfilled them is found in the midst of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! smiley

Why can't there be multiple gods? You people like to use houses as an analogy for the universe and say that just as there is a builder of a house there is a creator of the universe. Well houses are built by more than 1 person yet they are able to do it in harmony so why can't there have been multiple gods working in harmony to build this universe?

There are indeed multiple gods, just as there are mulitiple fathers. I have a question for you. Which of the multiple fathers in the world fathered you?

grin this thread is definitely gonna be derailed by irrationalities.......I don dey see them up there small small. Muslims believe theirs is the only true god likewise Christians,most havent even thougt for themselves and question things since they were born and they may never till they die.

Well, gods exist out there but there is No other God besides the God that I serve - He is the Adonai, the Most High. My God uses those other gods, who are in essence under him, to accomplish His Will here on earth. undecided

Only one because only one can biologically. Doesn't still tell me there aren't multiple gods. In the old days there was a god for everything and that makes more sense than a single all powerful god. Our societies are based on cooperation so why can't a cooperative society of deities exist?

Simple! When you obtain a Good Thing, common good sense dictates holding on to it.

During travels if the vehicle you are traveling with is Good and Enjoyable, it is normal for reasonable people to stick with it.

Same theory applies for wives and husbands and teams.

No one changes a winning Team.

Sweet! grin

Not One did!

The Amazing Amazing thing God did!

No other one anywhere.

It is now their followers not their gods themselves would attempt to say so.

But we All see how very very weak their claim is and will be.

I like your words in bold......... and i say to you, 'because only One can 'spiritually'. There are indeed multiple gods and they play different roles The bible says in a great house there are many vessels., not only gold or silver but also wood .... 2 Timothy 2:20
Indeed there are multiple gods but like you said, only one can SPIRITUALLY.

What does spiritually mean?

Spiritually simply means beyond physical or material things.

No, i didn't say there was only one god. I said there is only One called the Almighty.

Nope there are several, Zeus and Odin come to mind.

Well,a branch of knowledge called metaphysics deals with many things spiritual.
Man is a spirit. If he seeks knowledge, he will find it.

* Man is not a spirit. He is born a physical beings of the clay of this earth, just as Jesus Christ explained in John 3 vs 1 -8. It is only when man is born-again or saved that man experiences a spiritual birth. I.e. obtains a spirit of his own- Ezekiel 36 vs 25-27 undecided

Man is a spirit. Job said in Job 10:11,'You have clothed me with skin and flesh and you have knit my bones and sinews together'. If he said you have clothed me with skin and flesh, what me was he talking about? The me is the human spirit.
When a man gets born again,he receives a newness of the spirit.

Metaphysics is amorphous and can conceptualise pretty much anything, what it doesn't do though is establish a concrete base on on which we can claim to know a thing. If I asked you what a spirit is, would you be able to tell me and show me what it is?

When the first man was created, a son of God, the clay of this earth was all God used, this before God breathed Life into the clay - a physical birth, same as that of all other animals that God created. No mention of Spirits. undecided

When man fell, and God condemned man for his sins, God decreed that man would cease to exist, as it was before he was made by God, when he died. The breath of life in him returns to God and and is clay again returned to the earth from which he was made. He didn't have eternal life and so no mention of spirit or anything existing of him existing afterwards. undecided

Jesus Christ explicitly stated that the only birth a person experiences when first born into this world is a physical birth. And He said this while trying to explain what it means to be born-again to Nicodemus. Are you suggesting then that Jesus Christ because your assumptions of what Job said has to be true? undecided

The spirit is simply the non-physical part of a human being where the emotions, character and soul dwells.
Jusr like you can demonstrate the presence of oxygen using sophisticated equipments like the electron microscope, the presence of spirits can also be detected using electromagnetic field detectors and other equipments.

That breath of God is God giving man his spirit.That spirit is what makes man alive When the spirit departs from a man, then he is dead.

We know that emotions and character are aspects of a functioning brain and body, without either there'd be no emotion or character. So what role does the spirit play?

Wow you are the first person I think I have ever heard say spirits can be detected by em field detectors and other equipment. So has anyone demonstrated this? Is there data we can look at?

Thanks for the heads up bro. I know kobo's interpretation of scriptures is somehow. It is what i have always observed like someone who folliws mormon or a sect like that.

No, you're wrong! Emotions are not entirely controlled by the brain but from complex network of activities from different centers in the body.
@second bold, please do some research. You'll find enough evidence on the net.

1. The breath of life is God's Spirit, not man's Spirit and this this breath of life was given to all living creatures including snails, nematodes, cockroaches... God is life and so the life that beats in every creature belongs to Him and writely it returns back to God to whom it belongs at the end. It is not man's spirit but God's spirit. undecided

2. However, when Jesus Christ mentioned that man ought to be born-again, He clear stated that man was all along a physical being - without a spirit of his own before salvation from God. Demons and devils for instance are spirits and their spirits remain theirs but man, according to Jesus Christ, was never created with a spirit of His own - John 3 vs 1 - 8 and Genesis 3 vs 16 - 22. Jesus Christ did not teach of a renewal of spirit as you claim... no! And God didn't speak of a renewal of Spirit either in Ezekial 36 vs 25 - 27 - instead Jesus Christ taught that a new birth of the spiritual kind was necessary for one to enter into the Kingdom of God and that such a birth meant a new life in the spirit - the breath of God remains in intact in man but additonally, man acquires an eternal spirit which remains with man eternally.

P.s- man was not created an eternal being by God. Man forfeited eternity when he fell - Genesis 3 vs 20 - 22
