Polytheism: What is the Holy Bible's position on this? Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?

Answer 1

There is only one God and you shall have no other Gods. A paradox. If there is only one God how could you have any other?

Answer 2

In the Bible, God says to worship Him alone. Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani... My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me? You see? Jesus had a God, so he wasn't God. If he was God, he would already have known that God never abandoned him, because he would have known 'cause God is omniscient. If Jesus was God, there'd be no need for Jesus to pray, since not only would he be omniscient, but he'd be omnipotent.

Jesus is/was never God, it's as simple as that. And he never claimed to be God either, only claimed to be God.

Answer 3

Exodus 12:12  For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

Exodus 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Judges 10:13  Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
14  Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

I hope this helps

GOD bless

Answer 4

The statement "no other gods before me" shows from the source that it isn't the only deity in existence but jealous enough to want to be number one. Even some christians admit their deity is a jealous deity.

Answer 5

I'm feeling this one. I don't get the holy trinity bring separate but one. It sounds like polytheism to me. Doesn't bother me, just something that I ponder once in a while.

Answer 6

The Holy Bible says there is only one God. All others are false gods.

"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Answer 7

I am sorry for the long answer but its what you ask.
Yeshua was quoting the 22 Psalms. In Hebrew at the time they where not numbered they went of the first verse of the chapter to identify them. Like in Hebrew "Shema Yisrael" is Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
This is why some standing at the cross came to believe right when Yeshua said this.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not silent. Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel. In you our fathers put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people. All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads: “He trusts in the Lord; let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.” Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you even at my mother's breast. From birth I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God. Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. Roaring lions tearing their prey open their mouths wide against me. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me* in the dust of death. Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. I can count all my bones; people stare and gloat over me. They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing. But you, O Lord, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me. Deliver my life from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs. Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save* me from the horns of the wild oxen. I will declare your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise you. You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you will I fulfill my vows. The poor will eat and be satisfied; they who seek the Lord will praise him—may your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations. All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—those who cannot keep themselves alive. Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. They will proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn—for he has done it.
