For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
(1 Timothy 2:5-7, NASB)
Believe in the God of the Bible or don’t. You have a choice. But if you say you believe in the God of the Bible, Yahweh of the Old Testament’s people of Israel, the Christ of Christianity, then you must, by definition, believe He is the only God.
Paul, inspired by the very Spirit of God, wrote there is one God, and one alone. You cannot believe in the God of the Bible and say that other gods may be valid. It isn’t possible.
And not only is there one God, but there is also only one way to Him. Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 4:16).
Jesus is our mediator, and our acceptance of His payment of our penalty allows us to be in relationship with our Father.
Make your choice.
