The old testament tells people not to worship any other deities
in other words, the old testament implies that there were other deities
therefore, its presumption of monotheism is null and void
so it's all a pile of tosh and I claim my five pounds

I know, but why would a "God" be concerned about something that would not exist? If Christians say they have their One True God, the extrapolation would also make other deities real, so, there you goFeck wrote:Thou shalt have no other gods but me ...not there ARE no other gods but me ....but look on the bright side none of my ancestors spent 40 years hiding in a desert you can walk across in 4 days .....jebus does NOT want me for a sunbeam ...

The OT doesn't imply there are other deities - it just tells humans not to worship other deities - it doesn't say whether those deities are real or imagined, so I reckon that God was having a go at misplaced worhip by fallible humans rather than real gods.GenesForLife wrote:Abrahamic faiths are based on the old testament
