Is God the Father unique?
You do understand that this is statement concerns just this earth. Not of all eternity. Our God is the God of this earth and the heavens that surround it. Could there be other gods, yes, the fourth word in the bible is (in Hebrew) Elohim.Whoops, sorry, I did not notice what board this was on.
Here is a Bible passage for your consideration (instead of my former comment). God is the One speaking.

And there will be none after Me.
11 “I, even I, am the LORD,
And there is no savior besides Me.”

Hello Peter, I'm not quite following you here, I'm afraid, and here's why. On the one hand, you said that Mormons teach that this world (these heavens and this earth) have one God only, but on the other hand, you said that the Bible's use of "Elohim" as its 4th word proves that there are MANY Gods. So which is it?Our God is the God of this earth and the heavens that surround it. Could there be other gods, yes, the fourth word in the bible is (in Hebrew) Elohim.
There are many gods, but only 1 true God, the Most High.You do understand that this is statement concerns just this earth. Not of all eternity. Our God is the God of this earth and the heavens that surround it. Could there be other gods, yes, the fourth word in the bible is (in Hebrew) Elohim.
The translators have translated the Hebrew word "Elohim" into the English word "God", even though they have also translated the Hebrew word "EL" or "ELo" or "Eloh" into the English word "God".
The confusion is, the Hebrew word "Elohim". If you were to translate it as it is, it was translate to the English word "Gods". The "im" on the end of Eloh, pluralizes the word Eloh.
Eloh = God, Elohim = Gods.
The translators did not know what to do with the word Elohim, so they translated it God, and that has confused the issue since the beginning.
Why did Moses use "Elohim" in Genesis 1:1 and not Elohim in Genesis 14:18.
I believe the reason is that in Genesis 14:18 Moses refers to "Most High" God. Why would Moses refer to God as the Most High God, when, according to you, he obviously knows there is only 1 God. The Most High God seems to infer that there are Gods many. Just like Elohim would tell us.
Hello Peter, I'm not quite following you here, I'm afraid, and here's why. On the one hand, you said that Mormons teach that this world (these heavens and this earth) have one God only, but on the other, you said that the Bible's use of "Elohim" as its 4th word proves that there are MANY Gods. So which is it?
"In the beginning ~God~ created the heavens and the earth."
~OR~
"In the beginning ~many Gods~ created the heavens and the earth."
Thanks!
