| | The sky-god is a jealous god, of course. | | | Inspired by a raging sky-god, the whites were able to pretend that their conquests were in order to bring the One God to everyone, particularly those with older and subtler religions. | | | It is curious how little understood this amendment is--yes, everyone has a right to worship any god he chooses but he does not have the right to impose his beliefs on others who do not happen to share in his superstitions and taboos. |

| | Monotheism |
| | The Christian belief in the Trinity is monotheism, the worship of the one God of Abraham according to Trinitarian tradition, which holds that God is one God, existing in three distinct persons, usually referred to as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. | | | Monotheism is the belief in a single, universal, all-encompassing deity. | | | Deism is a form of monotheism in which it is believed that one god exists, but that God does not intervene in the world, beyond what was necessary for him to create it (no answering prayers or causing miracles). |

| | Monotheism |
| | Monotheism holds that God exists and that there is only one true God (although false gods may be acknowledged). | | | The Bible teaches that God exists (Genesis 1:1 and Hebrews 11:6); that He is unique (Deuteronomy 6:4); the He is transcendent (Isaiah 57:15); that He is a person (Exodus 3:7; Hebrews 6:17); and that He is lovingly involved with His creation (John 3:16). | | | The word monotheism comes from two Greek words - monos meaning "one" and theos meaning "God" - the belief in only one God. |

| | MONOTHEISM AND IDOLATRY AS TAKEN FROM THE ENCYCLOPEDIA JUDAICA |
| | Monotheism, in its literal meaning, oneness of the Godhead (i.e., one God). | | | Thus, all forms of idolatry are rejected: God's absolute sovereignty and glory is proclaimed; both love and judgment, mercy and justice are attributed to one and the same God; God's infinity in time as the one God in the past, present, and future is declared. | | | Monotheism is usually attributed to biblical faith as its unique and distinct contribution to the history of religious thought. |

| | God chose Abraham because of his willingness to forsake the gods of his nation and his father and to worship the one true God (Genesis 12:1-8). | | | Ditheism, the belief in two gods, is a form of polytheism, and so is tritheism, the belief in three gods. | | | God chastised Israel every time she began to worship other gods, and polytheistic worship was one of the main reasons that God finally sent her into captivity (Acts 7:43). |

| | Tutankhamen: Egyptian Monotheism |
| | The God is the judge of the truth. | | | Each one god, conceived of in this manner, is only the one god of the nome or of the town, and not the one god of the nation recognized as such throughout the country. | | | But a great many hymns to their gods and legends of their gods and goddesses have come down to us, and from these, thanks to the publication of Egyptian texts during the last thirty years, it is now possible to arrive at a number of important conclusions about the Egyptian religion and its general character. |

| | Fake Monotheism |
| | It is God's plan that all other nations believe in true, authentic monotheism, ONE GOD - that all people believe in the absolute truth of Torah and recognize the Jewish people as the teachers of truth. | | | Their aim was to prove that the Torah of Israel was untrue and that monotheism according to Torah ideals and beliefs was untrue. | | | This will be accomplished through the building of the third Temple, bringing all Jews back to Torah and to live in the land that was given to them by God, the One God, the God of Israel. |

| | Christian CADRE--Jesus Monotheism |
| | One the one hand, Jewish monotheism asserted that the one God, the God of Israel, was the only God of the whole world; that therefore the pagan gods were blasphemous nonsense. | | | Further Christian scripture indicating that Jesus was the Word/Wisdom of God incarnate are Matthew 12:42/Luke 11:31 and Matt. | | | Later this doctrine--along with consideration of the Holy Spirit--would be articulated as the doctrine of the Trinity. |

| | Refuting Monotheism, God does not exist |
| | Therefore God does not exist, is not all-powerful or is not benevolent. | | | Whether this force or not is God is unprovable, hence we have theism being based on faith. | | | As God has historically served as a force for evil and it seems that any Demon could very easily trick us into thinking it is God we must reject all feelings and thoughts from God for fear of us being deluded. |
