If I say that to believe to them in a single God, unique, indivisible and incomparable it is a obviedad in the Bible I am saying something that any reader can appreciate if he abre simply it and Lee so what is.
But I am in addition saying something that the own Bible says: the writer of Hebrew in his chapter 6, versicle 1, makes an exhortation towards the Christians to follow the maturity in the knowledge ahead. And he asks to them that please that does not back down as far as the knowledge, and he puts an example:Â that they do not return to the basic things.
Between those basic things that the writer of Hebrew considers the first things that a believer learns, which the same finishes spiritually calling spiritual MILK, that is to say food of spiritual INFANTS in contrast to the solid food reserved to the mature people (Hebrew 5:11 - 14), between those OBVIOUS things that they would have to be in the “cover of the book� for whatever to afir to be Christian is the following education to me:
“THE FAITH IN GOD�
(Hebrew 6:1)
Thus he is, the writer enumerates a basic list of lessons to which no longer they would have to back return to discuss and such are: the 1 - the conversion, 2 - abandonment of the works that take to the death, 3 - the faith in God.
They are the elementary things, the basic ones, the base. The obviedades.  However it is obvious also that the writer mentions between those basic things the FAITH (singular) IN GOD (singular)
To think that GOD IS ONE, to have FAITH IN GOD (and not in GODS) is part of the basic thing, the obvious thing, of first that a Christian must know and possibly in times where the politeĂsta paganism was dominant in the empire it runs was part of first that a Christian had to teach to a potential disciple:
- Sight, is A SINGLE GOD.
-How one only? No. are many. This Zeus, is Apolo, is human demigods who are half and Gods half who lowered to the Earth, this Hera…
- He does not watch. You must understand that “although there are many Gods calls in the sky or the Earth, as well as are many Gods and many gentlemen (in that sense), for us (the Christians) there is A SINGLE GOD. (1 Corintios 8:5)
- Who is that God?
- For us there is A SINGLE GOD, the father. And there is a single (leader) or Gentleman (1 Corintios 8:5)
- Ah yes? And who is that leader whom they have? We have many leaders and gentlemen, philosophers, emperors…
- For us “There is a single Mr. Jesus Christ�. (1 Corintios 8:5)
Lamentably we lived in an era of NEOpoliteĂsmo. Thus it is, nominally NO religion is politeĂsta. Not even the Hindus, having MILLION Gods in their pantheon assume that they are politeĂstas. They affirm that all million Gods are not but that manifestations several of A SINGLE GOD. In fact its supreme deity is the TRIMURTI, a deity TRINA AND ONE, a conceptually equal divisible God to the God that the catholics and protestants adore when in his churches they call “santĂsima to him Trinidadâ€? to that conjuciĂłn of three THAT in a single WHAT, that is to that conjuciĂłn of FATHER, SON and SPIRIT SANTO in a single DEITY of which neither idea nor definition able to be understood the less still preached have notion.
In the 21st century the mesianistas we are in the same situation that in the first century: we need to explain the basic truth: GOD IS ONE. The book of Hebrew mentions this like a foundation, something that any Christian would have to give until by seated.
And nevertheless, nowadays, within those who only affirm to be Christian a smallest minority believes in the existence of A SINGLE GOD.
And here we must be categorical: those that affirms that the FATHER is GOD, that JESUS is GOD also and that the SPIRIT SANTO is GOD are POLITEISTAS. He does not matter what because says, the explanation is subjective and implies that to understand it I I must turn me to the point of view of them. We are going to see it thus. In the table in front of my I have 3 glasses. For the rest of the world they are 3 glasses. If I have the strange belief (or madness) to affirm that the 3 glasses in fact are one only because they contain the same drink this the one is MY PROBLEM not of that listens to me.
The catholicism then and the Protestantism are religions POLITEISTAS. That is an objective truth. The witnesses of Jehovah also profess a TRUE religion POLITEISTA since their faith TWO GODS one of greater hierarchy and another one of smaller hierarchy enter, but TWO GODS to the aim TWO GODS BY NATURE. For them Jesus is “a God�, is not which simply “a God is called�, but IT IS IT.
If Jesus is a GOD, and YavĂ© its Father also is GOD, then there are TWO GODS besides which they affirm that one is superior and another one is inferior. He is like the politeĂsta grecoromana religion: they had Zeus who was the SUPREME one, perhaps and Apolo was inferior and son of Zeus but it was “a Godâ€? and thus other hundreds but. For that reason they were politeĂstas.
To be politeĂsta implies to think that MAS OF a GOD in any sense EXISTS.
To be monotheist implies to think that GOD, by nature and definition only exists ONE, without peros nor exceptions. And to understand that this is thus although “many are called Gods in the sky and the Earth�, that is that is possible that something or somebody IS CALLED God without being it in the sky or the Earth.
It implies to think that in spite of it for “us� (and when saying we feel a clear barrier between those who accept this and that not) THERE IS A SINGLE GOD, and that unique GOD IS the FATHER. It says Bible to it clearly thousands of times, in no as clearly as 1 Corintios 8:5. And Hebrew it calls something basic, something to which no longer would have to be returning. The theologian of Hebrew says with a defrauded tone:
“after as much time already you would have to be masterful� (Hebrew 5:12)
He is like watching ours around and imagining to us: after 200 years, the called churches Christian either would have to be masterful of the gospel, or would have to be announcing the arrival of the MesĂas, preaching the salvation of Israel. And nevertheless it is necessary to return to teach basic… among them the FAITH to them IN GOD.
IN A GOD.
IN A SINGLE GOD.
He is frustrating also. Instead of being able to focus to us with that they own a Bible in deepening in the own gospel of the Kingdom, as to the politeĂstas of any time we must begin to explain to them that there is A SINGLE GOD.
But as it says Hebrew 6:3:
“We will do it to This if it allows it to God�
God only can allow that a person sees the obvious thing, because we already know that their eyes have been blinded. The manna grass seeded by the devil has sunk which they try or they create to follow Jesus in 2000 years of debate around the basic thing. To which the Jews have known during thousands of years and we followed, the Jews in spiritual sense, knowing still today: that God, is ONE ONLY.
We will do it if God, to the ONLY allows it GOD. We pray for that reason and without being discouraged we return to the basic thing because it is fundamental that all know that there is A SINGLE GOD in the universe. We did not create that this that is obvious for us is it for the world, even for that then affirm to be Christian these are even those that usually are but completely without information in this subject as if the devil had paid them but attention.
For example a Muslim has a concept of the monotheism and the unit of much more clear God that a protestant and a catholic. And he is little what this religion takes from the Bible. Only “the heard� taking of. It was the version of the Bible that the founder of this religion, Mahoma, listened to of lips and histories of nestorianos priests. These heard were sufficient so that the Islam was STRICTLY MONOTEISTA. TO ONLY HEAR speak of the Bible takes to the conclusion that the God of that book is ONE ONLY.
Nor that to speak to read it (thing that all the churches would have to often do but)
Shalom
