Are there other gods?

[Duck]

I heard a preacher say that there are other gods.

Is he correct?

Pagan gods, false gods yes, but only one true God. You know this, so why are you asking?

[Coruscating]

Sure, but either they are talking, or they are pursuing, or they are on a journey, or perhaps they sleep and must be awakened.

(paraphrasing Elijah, when he mocked other gods in 1 Kings 18:27)

False gods, so, fake, imaginary?

So there are no other 'real' gods.

No, there is no other God, but Yahweh, the God of the bible.   There are those who are counterfeits i.e not real , but if fact are demons.  Yes, they can do magic, sorcery and the rest, but are from Satan kingdom.  They deceive, lie, cheat and rob men of their souls.  Men can use the title of God to describe them, but they don't have the attributes of THE ALMIGHTY GOD.   

Read your bible, it reveals their traits and personalities.

 Jesus when quoted from psalms,82-6."yee are gods"the verse reads

 ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

we can make anything else our god,and die.how ever if you choice a certain one your dead along with him when christ returns.

Jer 25:6-7
  Do not go after other gods to serve and worship them, or provoke me to anger with the work of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.'
ESV

Jer 32:29
 The Chaldeans who are fighting against this city shall come and set this city on fire and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs offerings have been made to Baal and drink offerings have been poured out to other gods, to provoke me to anger
ESV

~~~

Jer 44:15-16
 Then all the men who knew that their wives had made offerings to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, all the people who lived in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah: 16
ESV

1 Cor 8:5-6
5 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"— 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
ESV

Keep in mind that there are no capital letters in Hebrew, it is just written in block letters and Greek manuscripts are written in all caps, so there really isn't any difference in God and god in the original language for the base words.  The capital letter G is put on those that refer to any of the Trinity in both the New and Old Testaments.

The words translated god in the Old Testament is the plural word meaning deity.   Yahweh, Baal, Moloch are all referred to that word.

So, yes there are many gods, but the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are greater than any of the others because the others were really created fallen angels.  They were/are from the spiritual upper dimensions so are considered deity, however they are not at the same level of our three part God.

No, he is not correct.  Here's what the Bible says:

[1]  Deuteronomy 6:4  =  “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one."

[2]  1 Timothy 2:5 = "For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus..."

[3]  Isaiah 44:6   =  "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god."

[4]  John 17:3  =  "And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."

[5]  Isaiah 43:10   =  “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me."

 "Then the king shall do according to his will; and shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods..." (Daniel 11:36-NKJV)

Its been said that there are millions of gods in Hinduism but isn't really agreed upon, but there are 6 major deities. Other religions worship very many as well and obviously Antichrist will take it seriously enough to exalt himself above them all.

These "gods" aren't real.  That's why the Bible teaches over and over that there are no gods, but God.
