Argument

Biblical Monotheism

Biblical faith confesses the LORD alone as God, so any religious claim must be tested by whether it preserves that worship rather than replacing it.

The biblical answer to rival deity claims is not merely that Israel's God is strongest. Scripture denies that any god was formed before him or will come after him.

Premises

  1. 1 Isaiah denies that any god was formed before or after the LORD.
  2. 2 Moses warns Israel not to follow even a sign-working prophet into other worship.
  3. 3 The New Testament includes Jesus in the one-God confession without adding another god.

No formed gods

Biblical monotheism rules out the idea that the LORD is one god among many or that humans can become gods in the same sense.

Test later claims

Moses gives Israel a theological test for later claims: even impressive signs must not lead God's people away from the LORD's revealed worship.
