My idea, of the "Heavenly War"

[Antibush5]

Okay, hear me out.
I was thinking, if the bible and Quran, say that none are worthy or worship except for God, that thou shalt have no gods before me. Well that got me thinking "does this mean there are other gods?". Well maybe this means that the gods are in some kind of fight for believers? What do you think?

The holy books don't deny the existence of the gods of other religions, they just say that those gods are inferior. Personally I think it all sounds like five year olds arguing over whose daddy is the best. "Nuh uh, my dad drives a fire truck so... "

Edit: my dad doesn't really drive a fire truck, but he did restore antique cars which I thought was cool

I think Satan and his fallen angels provide all the opposition in that regard. But we do not know for sure if the first of the Ten Commandments referred simply to gods created by man or "gods" who are unseen demonic powers.

Satan seems to be a diety in his own right really.

A lot of the early Christians believed in other gods and thought them evil. Some Christians even now believe that.
And they call us Hindus polytheistic

Not to go off on a tangent, but arn't some? I've even heard of some atheist Hindus.

There are, and all things in between. Most are monotheistic or monistic.

A deity? Only to those who worship him.

He was the original rebel, the original bad boy. So that's his appeal, I guess.

But if the one true God is truly all-powerful, how can there be any war? See the thread "Why doesn't God Kill Satan".

It was the loyal angels vs. the rebel angels, who only counted for 1/3rd of the entire angelic host. Naturally, Lucifer and his rebel angels were out-numbered. And I know that's how it happened because I have photos ...

LOL! Well, photos would do it.

Those must be pretty awesome photo's. Like a fantastic painting, with an epic bloody battle going on.

The rebel angels do not like having their picture taken.
