20:26:00
And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them:
that they (the disciples) may be one even as we (Jehovah-
Jesus) are one -John 17:22
If we pay heed on the above statement of Jesus it becomes perceivable that
what is the reality of the unity, between Jehovah and Jesus. In the above verse
some important points come into light, the first point of them is that Jesus makes
clear “they (disciples) may be one even as we (Jehovah- Jesus) are one”. This
shows the view of Jesus that how should be the unity among his disciples. Jesus
wishes that the disciples should maintain as firm unity as how he had with Jehovah.
And the second point is that the expected unity of disciples whether in their physique
or opinions. To know this pay attention again on the above statement. Jesus
says clearly that 'As we are one', the meaning of which in a nutshell is that the
aspiration of Jesus was that the unity what he had with Jehovah was the same
unity he had expected with in his disciples too. Now the question come whether
Jesus had the unity with Johavah in the physique or in opinions. It is known fact
that they were two distinct persons just as the disciples were distinctly different
from each other. But Jehovah and Jesus were same in the openions. So also he
expected the same unity among the disciples in their openions, just as he had with
Jehovah.
According to the Bible how many Gods are there?
According to the advanced scientific knowledge the man is capable to discover
many truths of the hidden secrets. Thereby a lot of difficult problems are
salved so easily. To be frank, clarity is necessary in every point whithout which
one cannot go ahead on any work. And without certainty in one’s own work there
remains only the confusion. If one perform any task or duty with this confusion
one can not become succesful in acquiring them to one’s own expectations. The
prevelent religious sector is a good example for this. On one hand worship and
meditations are flourishing day by day. And the spiritual meetings and descussions
and sermous are growing abundantly. Yet the peace and moral values are not
found to the expectant end. In the religious field the basic and chief person is God.
One should realize him in the perspective why as according to the exhortations of
scriptures. With a marginal exception of people, every one has failed in this premier
principle of religious status. When asked about God, we get different
ambignous answers from the people of the same comnunity.
christian community. If we ask them as, ‘who is your God?’ Some answer to this
question as Jehovah is our God and some say Jesus is our God and while some
reply as the triune God and so on. Does the Holy Bible provide this kind of wide
divergence and irrelevance in the belief of God? The answer of Bible is unequivovally
‘no’. As a matter of fact the Holy Bible is a law and provides only such things as
are basing on the logical reasoning which cannot be rebutted. On the reason of so
many translations from the ancient languages some mistakes might have happenend
in the Bible. However the basic points still prevail intact in its real form. If one pay
heed in between the lines of Bible with logic without prejudiced mind, one can
notice conspicuously the real concept of God.
Are there many Gods?
If we ask any Christian as how many Gods are there? Generally he answers-
‘There is only one God’. But if we pay attention carefully in the study of Bible we
can find there are many gods. Observe the following verses.
And the Lord said unto Moses, see I have made thee a God
to Pharaoh... -Exodus 7:1
And he shall be they spokesman unto the people: and he
shall be even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth and
thou shalt be to him instead of God. -Exodus 4:16
According to the above verses one can notice that Jehovah himself appointed
Moses as god.
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth
among the Gods -Psalms 82:1
I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the
most high -Psalms 82:6
In the above verses Jehovah himself reveals the existance of somany gods.
Jesus answered them is it not written in your law I said ye
are Gods? If he called them gods unto whom the word of
God came and the scripture cannot be broken. -John 10:34-35
From the above statement of Jesus it can be well ascertained that all the holy
prophets, who had been given the commandment of God are called as gods. For
example we can observe in the old Testament that there are many prophets who
had been given the commandment by Jehovah.
Is devil also a God?
In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not... -II Corinthians 4:4
According to this verse the Devil also can be regarded as god. Therefore the Holy Bible introduces many gods besides Jehovah.
Who is the real God?
The Lord God of Gods, the Lord God of Gods -Joshua 22:22
From the above verse it is obvious that eventhough there are many gods, but
the true and transcendental God is only one Jehovah and remaining all are only the
so called Gods.
Who is the true God?
But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God and an
everlasting king. -Jermiah 10:10
Only Jehovah is God!
know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us.
-Psalms 100:3
The mighty God!
...for the Lord thy God is among you a mighty God and
terrible -deuteronomy 7:21
Therefore except the Almighty Jehovah rest are only the so-called gods but
the mighty, great and true God is only Jehovah.
To which God should we give thanks?
O give thanks unto the God of gods for his mercy endureth
forever -Psalm 136:2
According to the above verse we understand that only one Jehovah is worthy
of praise and the order is enjoined upon the so-called gods that they should give
thanks to Jehovah, who is the God of gods.
