So, why have none of you experts here answered this VALID question?

Shoshanna



If we want to accept God's word in Gen 31:30 35:2, and
Ex 12:12 that there are other gods, then is it not
logical to accept His word when He explains elsewhere
that what He means by "other gods" is stones, wood and
other hand-made gods? What is the reasoning behind
accepting one and rejecting another?

Sincerely,
Sujata

Gen 31:30, 35:2, and Ex 12:12, where God himself
recognizes "other
gods". There was nothing even remotely similar to
monotheism in Israel
(henotheism too is a bad term) until well after
deutero-isaiah's time.

Please read more carefully.
