Why do you believe there is only one God?

Question

Really? Why do you believe there is only one God?

If it's because God told you, then might not that be because he wants all the glory for himself? If the strongest God happened to be a trickster, wouldn't it be natural for him to tell humanity that he is the only God, so people would only obey him?

How would you figure out the truth without having take his word for it?

Answer 1

I will not speak for other Christians buy my belief in God stems from pure logic. I know, shocking, isn't it? Even science admits that a 'thing' cannot be created, spontaneously from 'nothing.' All things in our existence are derivative of other 'things.' Trees are converted to lumber, iron ore infused with carbon in the form of ash is converted to steel. You get the gist.

Yet how does this explain the existence of the universe? How did the universe come into being? Was there not a point in time and space where there was nothing? The big bang only explains the rapid expansion, evolution and distribution of matter that resulted in the universe, NOT it's origin. So if the greatest thing (ie the universe) was spontaneously created from absolutely nothing would not logic dictate that some sort of 'being' who exists without the confines and constraints of science be responsible for the creation of the matter that resulted in the rapid expansion of the big bang?

As to the notion of needing a power greater than oneself... It can be argued that atheism is the need to assert man as the highest of all beings. This is also a human tendency in which we desire to control and manipulate all. In this arrogant assertion it becomes impossible to accept that anything or anyone has dominion over you. It is this mentality that has brought about slavery, fascism, sexism, age discrimination, etc. As a Christian I take comfort in the fact that my Lord Jesus Christ is always there to accept me when I turn to Him. To whom do you turn when you need spiritual comfort? Einstein? Even he theorized that at the sub-atomic level all matter 'should' be tearing itself apart and that it is 'spooky' that it hasn't? Therefore you would be taking comfort in a scientist who is basically theorizing that we should all spontaneously be destroyed. Yeah, that would help me sleep at night.

Answer 2

Why do i believe there is only one god? I DONT!  \o/ for paganism!

Answer 3

My Bible tells me so

Answer 4

Because the bible, and Jesus, told us so.

I choose to believe in someone who was so able to refract from sin.

i mean, if Jesus never sinned on Earth, that means he never lied.

So if he said "God is the only God" its the truth.

plus i have faith.

We're ready to welcome you into our religion if you have an open mind and soul. don't be worreid or embarressed. read about it online. try a churrch, or even a bible. but i really think a church could help you.

(you will figure out the truth when you die. but don't worrry about that right now)

Answer 5

Answer 6

I don't. There is no evidence for the existence of any gods.

Answer 7

Because I choose to believe that.  I know it in my heart.

Answer 8

Scripture makes it clear.  At first there was only YHVH.  then He became two, who were 'echad' which means 'one'.  One was the Heavenly Father, who is purely spirit.  The other, the Creator YHVH, then entered Mary to be born YAHOSHUA, the Savior.

Answer 9

Thank God the Fundies believe in only 1 God. If they believed in nmore  than 1 they'd be arguing all day and there wouldn't be room for sensible threads!

Answer 10

u know why he hasn't spoken to us yet?because we don't deserve it.he sent 25 holy messengers to invite us to believe in god and half of the ppl in this universe didn't.so cuz he sent them u should have believed.it's like a test did we believe in them?and god and the holy books and angels?or did we not?i believed and everything is working great for me.i get peace and serenity just because i gave up on some stupid temptations like alcohol,drugs and s*x.

Answer 11

Yes. One God.

Why? If there is more than one, it is illogical.

Why two? why not 4? why not 3? why not 10? 100?

More than one God is Illogical.
