The Gods or just God?

Is there really only God, you guys? Or are there the Norse Gods?

• Norse Gods...

  I believe in the NOrse Gods... It just seems more likely for there to be more than one God and Goddess than just one friggin' God, don't you think?

    all knowing

    I have a problem with the thought of Norse Gods for one simple reason, why does Odin require 2 ravens to fly around to all nine of his universes to tell him what is happening if he created all things why isn't he all knowing?

    *"I have a problem with the thought of Norse Gods for one simple reason, why does Odin require 2 ravens to fly around to all nine of his universes to tell him what is happening if he created all things why isn’t he all knowing?"* Maybe this is how he becomes all knowing, this method included in the success. Being all-knowing doesn't necessarily suggest it has to be inherent.

    But

    If it is not all knowing you are rolling the dice when you pray to it. For the ravens may hear you or they may be somewhere else. The religion states that there are 9 universe and only 2 ravens. And they fly from one universe to the next. So what does that give you an 18% chance of the god even hearing it. my math is no good but you get the point.

    wrong but that's another debate

    And I didn’t say answer I said hearing. But it’s off topic anyway. Ok my Idea of God and that of most Christians is that God is Infinite, Ok in the Norse Gods; Oldin created all other Gods and if part of God is that he is infinite then how could a God be created?

    It is not a new debate, it is a question. We don't know how we were created, and if God truly created us out of thin air then why couldn't a god create other gods. The "infinite" thing is assuming far too much. If God was "infinite", whatever you mean by that--I suppose there wouldn't be room for another God. Or ANYTHING else. Technically, modern science seems to assume the universe is infinite but also believes in the likelihood of alternate dimensions with their own infinite universes. And the Norse gods were not like our God. It would not be at all the same as our God creating another God of equal standing and power--but He will only operate thunder and lightning!

    *"It is not a new debate, it is a question. We don’t know how we were created, and if God truly created us out of thin air then why couldn’t a god create other gods."* To be gods per se, would these other gods express the exact same characteristics of the first and template god (therefore being one and the same as Himself?) If so this would seem to conflict with the popular held notion that God cannot create Himself (because then God could be a creation, and would destroy the whole idea of us being made in His image so that we can reach such a perfection stage). I guess its possible, but not from, seemingly, a christian viewpoint. If these 'gods' were lesser than He, then anything could be regarded as a god, seemingly (including beings such as angels and principalities, or even humans), and to worship such would be considered idolatry.

    I dont think so Weydon

    "Technically, modern science seems to assume the universe is infinite but also believes in the likelihood of alternate dimensions with their own infinite universes." You are incorect on this one The universe can be dated by the amount of time it takes to expand from itself and by that can be traced back to a begining. So by that itself the universe can not be infinate

    I don't believe that there can be only one god! Nothing, absolutely nothing, could possibly be powerful to create the ocean, sky, earth, fire, and everything themself! There has to be at least 20 Gods to build Earth!
