Is there only one god?


            
             Objection 1: Belief in a multiplicity of gods represents a greater divine of unity. Believing this way means not having a personal God, but an ultimate reality of divine.
             Objection 2: There are many gods that all represent different things. One God alone can not deal with problems related to many different issues such as love, war, death, etc.
             Objection 3: How can the Father, Son and Holy Ghost all be one God? All three are given the title "God", which would only give the impression that they are each separate Gods. Since Jesus is the Son of God the he is a different "being", meaning that he is not a God.
             I answer that only one God exists. The belief of the almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth and Lord of the world is the primary rule of faith for Christians; even Jews and Muslims believe in one God. According to the words of the Apostle (1 Cor. 8:6): "To us there is but one God, the Father and one Lord". The biblical facts can greatly support that there is only one God, the Almighty, who we look for salvation.
             Reply to objection 1: There is not need to believe in many gods being divine. Our God alone is the ultimate reality of divinity. Our one true God, in his goodness and almighty power created from nothing both spiritual and material creation. He created not to increase His own happiness, but to show His perfection in the goods which he gave to his creatures. There is only one God that oversees every single aspect of life and even death.
             Reply to objection 2: God created everything on earth therefore, He represents everything he created. "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 29:19).
             Reply to objection 3: The Father and the Son are persons in the God being. This is part of the Christian doctrine called the doctrine of the Trinity. This doctrine does not teach three Gods, but only one.
