One and Only God

God is extremely jealous, and He has declared that we are to have no other gods but Him. There were no other gods before Him, and there will be no other gods after Him. This means that God was not a man from another planet, who was good enough to reach the level of godhood, as Mormons believe. This means that God does not have a wife, as some cults believe. God is quite emphatic that He is the one and only God who ever was and ever will be.

God declares in Isaiah 44:6, "This is what the LORD says- Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God." God is the beginning and the end. He is not a beginning or an end.

Acts 4:12 also states, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." If there were other gods, it would mean that there are other gods through whom we might be saved. But this is not the case. This is very important because there are many who cannot accept this. They twist Scripture to their own destruction because of what they want to believe.

J.C Ryle says, "I say calmly that a religion without Christ, a religion that takes away from Christ, a religion that adds anything to Christ, a religion that puts sincerity in the place of Christ-all are dangerous."

God's wrath remains on those who twist Scripture. In fact, God declares His wrath on those who twist Scripture in Revelation 22:18-19. So do not twist God's word; He takes it very seriously.
