Even bibles reference an elohiem.
Seems like IF one is possible, THEN others are also possible. Eh ?

There is really nothing fundamentally different between Monotheism and Pantheism.The confusion is all due to jumbling up of the various attributes of god into distinct forms separate from each other. Take a figure like circle. It may be a solid circle, a hollow circle, an oblong circle, a big circle or a small circle almost to be a point which has existence but no dimensions etc. Now these are all various manifestations of a circle and are basically one. If we were to suppose that each form has an existence of its own not related to other ,while we would be entitled to hold our views, we would not be mathematically correct. We would be definitely lblundering should we not only hold on to our form of circle but deny the very existence of other forms and in fact imposing our views on others and still insist on calling ourselves mathematicians. Jehova, Allah,Bhagwan etc. are all one of the Nine Billions names of the divinity and each name does not represent a distinct entity.The concept of monotheism is basic in polyteistic religions also e.g. Hinduism .Even if somebody wishes to emphasise a parcticular form of the circle and worship it is OK for pantheists. Monotheists who claim final reality to their own form of the circle are just being obstinate and nothing more.On the other hand even the Pantheists who object to the Monotheists who prefer one particular form of the circle to the exclusion of all other forms are not right.They should show some indulgence towards them as they themselves are intrinsically aware , in the heart of their hearts, that basically it is the Circle that is supreme and is the underlying idea of their own multiplicity of forms of god

that's not the question your really asking is?? If it is then allow me to answer it and another! Why do you want to know about how many God's there are? If only one seems to show it's face to us, then why not just trust him?
If you just want to agrivate people then answer these questions before you submit the next one.
What is God used for?
Don't you think the people that your sending the message to are just as smart as you?
and Why in the Hell does it matter?

There are many names in the Holy Bible for the ONE Triune God which describes His character.
See the site I have given you.

There is but one true God, and salvation thru His Son, Jesus.
However, there are many, many false gods created by the deceiver to distract and keep us from the love and mercy of God.

different religions have different gods and different beliefs. me myself i am not religious at all , the way i look at it is that a lot of people need to believe in something that gives them belief, a little like when you were a child and you believed in father Christmas who is to say that these different gods do or do not exist it is up to the individual the lifestyle they lead and also there need to feel part of something.

Spirituality is a personal thing. To say that someone is right or wrong about their beliefs is extremely imposing. You're talking about the difference between monotheism and polytheism. I myself am monotheistic, but it's all up to you. You should believe in whatever your spirit is pulled towards, as long as you're absolutely sure that it is good.

Elohim is a word for the ONE God. if there was more than one, then they'd differ in opinion which would mean God isn't perfect. if you mean the Trinity, it's a hard concept, but it's three people in one, like a clover with three leaves on one plant.

Yes. I am a polytheist. I just can't imagine there being only one deity in the entire universe. I believe that there are many.
