[QUOTE="Sketcher, post: 76310091, member: 27106"] [LIST] [*]The God of the Bible is the one true God. [*]Hence there are no other gods in reality. [*]As a cultural concept in the minds of the Israelites, other gods existed, hence the language of the OT that may seem to acknowledge them as gods. God had to communicate with a primitive people that understood people around them had multiple gods to worship. [*]There are spiritual entities known as demons that have powers. [*]As such, it is within their power to perform works that one would attribute to one or more gods. [*]Whether the demons *are* those referred to as gods, or whether they are scheming to make it look like these gods exist, isn't really defined. In other words, we don't know of Molech in the OT was a literal demon, or if demons created the fiction of Molech to get people to kill their own babies in sacrifice to him. Either way, worshipping Molech and especially making child sacrifices to Molech was a horrible thing to do, and no one should do anything of the sort. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
