Why is it only one God?

"What I don't necessarily believe is that any of us, Bible inclusive, know or could possibly know."

That's right, you can't know, but you still believe is a baseless idea. You should be more baffled why you believe in a baseless God concept, rather than how many of these concepts there are. It's like arguing how many unicorns there are before you have even demonstrated that such a thing exists in the first place. It's funny how believers know so much about an unknowable concept that is based on 100% speculation. 100% speculation=a wild guess with zero basis. What are the odds that such a guess would end up being true? I think it would be between slim and none and slim just left.

Two or three or a million gods is just as plausible as one. Lots of peoples have believed in multiple gods. The Greek had Zeus and Aphrodite and Hera and Athena and all. The Romans had Jupiter and Mars and Mercury. My favorite is ancient Egyptian polytheism; their religion lasted some 8000 years. Makes Christianity look like a Johnny-Come-Lately.

The truth is, people believed in many gods at once for a lot longer than they've been believing in only-one-god.

Well, the good news is they're getting *closer* to the right number... ;)

If time and space began with the Big Bang, then asking any questions about time and space relative to godhood may be pointless.

But if we are all one, and if you believe there was once a homogeneous void, or a homogeneous all... which amounts to the same thing... then that is monism. That is oneness. That is the singularity from which all that we know began. That is God.

God can be many gods, too, but that is simply further fractalization from the original divinity. Some believe in a god who existed before and beyond all other gods, and of which all other gods are a part. That would include you and me.

In the past, God did reveal Himself in tremendous ways, and those people made records for us to examine today. Only the people who truly live for God get to really notice Him and also oftentimes, get to see His marvelous works! It is very difficult to understand the eternity of God because being a person like us, how can He never have had a time to be born? On the other-hand, God is not alone in that He has Himself - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to be in communion with.

Then you might ask, what did He do all that time? Because I have never been where God dwells, I couldn't tell you, but there must be sights similar to what God invented here on earth and perhaps God was displaying all this and doing other amazing works in the infinite past to Himself.

Question: "Who created God? Where did God come from?"

Answer: A common argument from atheists and skeptics is that if all things need a cause, then God must also need a cause. The conclusion is that if God needed a cause, then God is not God (and if God is not God, then of course there is no God). This is a slightly more sophisticated form of the basic question “Who made God?” Everyone knows that something does not come from nothing. So, if God is a “something,” then He must have a cause, right?

The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that God came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, God is not in the category of things that are created or caused. God is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.

How do we know this? We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing thing is what we call God. God is the uncaused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.

Question: "Did God create evil?"

Answer:

At first it might seem that if God created all things, then evil must have been created by God. However, evil is not a “thing” like a rock or electricity. You cannot have a jar of evil. Evil has no existence of its own; it is really the absence of good. For example, holes are real but they only exist in something else. We call the absence of dirt a hole, but it cannot be separated from the dirt. So when God created, it is true that all He created was good. One of the good things God made was creatures who had the freedom to choose good. In order to have a real choice, God had to allow there to be something besides good to choose. So, God allowed these free angels and humans to choose good or reject good (evil). When a bad relationship exists between two good things we call that evil, but it does not become a “thing” that required God to create it.

Perhaps a further illustration will help. If a person is asked, “Does cold exist?” the answer would likely be “yes.” However, this is incorrect. Cold does not exist. Cold is the absence of heat. Similarly, darkness does not exist; it is the absence of light. Evil is the absence of good, or better, evil is the absence of God. God did not have to create evil, but rather only allow for the absence of good.

God did not create evil, but He does allow evil. If God had not allowed for the possibility of evil, both mankind and Jins* would be serving God out of obligation, not choice. He did not want “robots” that simply did what He wanted them to do because of their “programming.” God allowed for the possibility of evil so that we could genuinely have a free will and choose whether or not we wanted to serve Him.

As finite human beings, we can never fully understand an infinite God. Sometimes we think we understand why God is doing something, only to find out later that it was for a different purpose than we originally thought. God looks at things from a holy, eternal perspective. We look at things from a sinful, earthly, and temporal perspective. Why did God put man on earth knowing that Adam and Eve would sin and therefore bring evil, death, and suffering on all mankind? Why didn’t He just create us all and leave us in heaven where we would be perfect and without suffering? These questions cannot be adequately answered this side of eternity. What we can know is whatever God does is holy and perfect and ultimately will glorify Him. God allowed for the possibility of evil in order to give us a true choice in regards to whether we worship Him. God did not create evil, but He allowed it. If He had not allowed evil, we would be worshipping Him out of obligation, not by a choice of our own will.

Even if you were to contemplate the world as having more Gods, all these Gods would have a main God... Same thing with Spirits. There are many Spirits, but only one One Spirit.

All things in this world come from one thing, one phenomenon of existence, one Singularity. This Singularity transcends into Duality... and forces which compose this existence.

The Father (God), Son (Christ),

and Holy Spirit - 3 in 1.

"Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none." Isaiah 44:8

First Commandment- Thou shalt not have other Gods before me.

Third Commandment- thou shalt not worship idols or any graven image. ( false perception of Heaven, angels, Ignorant drawings of God/Jesus.)

John 3:31 New International Version (©1984)

"The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all.

God bless

"if God just came into being "

""God created everything but who or what created God?"

You're starting off with the assumption that God was created, which is a false assumption.

Some religions do believe in multiple gods.

Personally I don't believe in one.
