How Many Gods or Spirits?

Q: How many Gods & or Spirits are there?

A: Part 1 - How many Gods?

The Scriptures declare that there is but one God and that God is Spirit.

Exodus 20:2-6 (ESV) “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

1 Corinthians 8:5 "For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.…"

John 1 (KJV) 1 " In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. 11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. 12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name."

Isaiah 45:5 "I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: I girded you, though you have not known Me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things." 12 " I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded."

John 4:24 (ESV) "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Isaiah 55:6-9 "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."

A: Part 2 - What about other Spirits? The Scriptures declare that God is called the "Father of spirits", angels are also spirits, also that we as people have a spirit.

Hebrews 1:14 (NLT) "Therefore, angels are only servants--spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation."

Romans 8:16 (KJV) "The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God."

1 Corinthians 2:11 - (KJ2) "For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God."

Hebrews 12:9 (NKJV) 9 "Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?"
