How Many Gods Are In The Bible?
There's at least a dozen questions I could preface, infer, or imply with this. One of the prevalent ones being xians' belief that the Bible proves the existence of Yahweh.

There are more, but I'm going to focus on these two for now; please feel free to add to the mix if you feel so inclined.Does the Bible ever actually say the others are fake gods? This might just be… Continue
