Are they fictional constructs or material entities? Why do require sacrifice?
Isa 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isa 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isa 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isa 43:12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.
1Ki 8:27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
God is an omnipresent Spirit, and He said there is not a God beside Him, and there was no God formed before Him, and there shall be no God formed after Him.
God means supreme being which can only be one who is the God of the Bible, and any people that claim a god would be of their imagination, which is why they have idols.
God is a Spirit and everything else is of the material world, and if there was another god it would be of material substance, and God would of had to create that god, but what kind of god would that be when God understands the workings of physical matter and could disassemble that god, and God said there was no God formed after Him.
If there is other gods God would of had to create them, but there is not a reason to be other gods for God is omnipresent, and does not have to have a rulership like people where they appoint kings, and princes, and presidents, and governors, and senators, and a hierarchy, to oversee the people for one person cannot rule them all, but He does not need a hierarchy in heaven, but God can rule all be Himself, and He considers all people equal in heaven.
And there is no need for rulership in heaven for they put off the flesh, which all sin resides in the flesh, so they would not be battling for power and control, but be in perfect peace with each other being equal.
Which God said what makes you to differ from another, and Jesus said the saints shall be as the angels in heaven which they have eternal life.
But the saints will have a higher position in heaven than the angels, for they will have a glorified body like Jesus, but the angels are ministering spirits to the saints, and the angels desire to look in to the salvation of the saints, but the saints will not rule over the angels.
The Bible says there is one God, the Father, who is in all, and above all, and through all, so God is in everybody for He is omnipresent, but some might mistake this as they have divinity in them as if they will be a god, but this is not true for God does not give His glory to another, and He is separate from the physical world, and a person has to acknowledge the truth for the Spirit to work in their life.
But they are still not a god with the Spirit working in their life which God said if you think you are something when you are nothing you deceive yourself, and said the nations are nothing, and less than nothing to Him for He is so great.
So a person does not elevate to any special status when they have the Spirit in their life, but it is God that gets the glory, and He does not give His glory to another.
The only special status the saints get is putting off the flesh, and having a glorified body, but it does not matter how strong they are, or intelligent, for it came from God so He gets the glory, and they are not greater than God, and there is no enemy to fight for God put all the wicked down, so what does it matter if they are super strong, or not.
God said many shall depart from the truth of the Bible and give heed to an interpretation of the Bible that attributes nature to God, the God of forces, and that they will believe they will be gods with no higher power above them, and He said avoid that interpretation for it is according to their own lusts, and are fables, which is a belief not true, but their imagination, and they want to believe they are still evolving to be greater and spiritual, and there is no higher authority above them, which God said they will say I am, and none else beside me.
Can the arrogance, and self exaltation of people ever cease, but it will not cease until they rebel against God when the nations come together giving heed to the new age movement which then God will put the world down, and the mystery of God shall be finished that they will know of God that He is the Lord Jesus Christ, a visible image of the invisible God, and Jesus is not an ascended master and avatar, and there is no equal to Him.
Isa 41:21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Isa 41:22 Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
Isa 41:23 Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Isa 41:24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
Isa 41:25 I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Isa 41:26 Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
Isa 41:27 The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
Isa 41:28 For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Isa 41:29 Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
God challenges all people and religions to prove their gods are true, and to tell the end from the beginning which God told us the whole history of mankind, and said no person or religion can do it, and their idols are wind and confusion for they are false and no gods, nor do they represent any god that does exist.
For there is no other gods, but the God of the Bible that is for all people that want to accept the truth, that says do not war at all against other people, and when physically assaulted do not physically assault back, and when verbally assaulted do not verbally assault back, and love your enemies, and feed and clothe your enemies, for God is in charge and will put down sin in due time, and the physical is only temporary, and when the saints put off the flesh and have a glorified body there is no more worries then, and also the saints are to be different than the world to show love, and going against them physically is not good for getting people to accept the truth, and Jesus said the hypocrites do not belong to Him.
God said the new age movement and their false interpretation of the Bible their conscience is seared with a hot iron which they will not show the love and compassion of Jesus, but will make war against all people that oppose them in the future, which then Jesus will put them down and show He is God.
And for people that would think God is cruel in the Old Testament, and a war monger, this is not true, for God puts down a thousand to save ten thousand.
God said He winked at their ignorance in the Old Testament which He left them alone, but if a nation, or kingdom operated in such a way as to have a great negative impact on people with physical cruelty, or spiritual deception, or both, God allowed another nation, or kingdom to take them down, for the benefit of people.
God only went against the people that had a great negative impact on people, so everything God did was for the benefit of people.
If God did not intervene in the Old Testament more people would of been hurt, or killed, or deceived from the truth of God the true benefit.
