@MrPaulroxx there is only one God, but people in general, when they accept something blindly before researching it, will have pride stopping them from denouncing that wrong belief, it is very hard to reach someone who accepts a wrong belief.

In addition to the other verses I mention there is Deut. 32:39: “See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides me.” If Jesus is a true god (by JW belief) and is seated at the right hand of the Father, what does that verse mean?

I’m pointing out that Jehovah’s Witnesses are polytheists who believe there is more than one true God, even though the Bible tells us there is only one true God.

JW: But the word “God” is just a title that can be used for those on the side of God. Me: Then there would be lots of true Gods, but John 17:3 (NWT) says “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” If that’s true, how could you say that Jesus is a true God? If there God is the ‘only true’ God then any other god must be a false god, but you have already said that Jehovah and Jesus are both true Gods
-
JW: But in Ex. 4:16 (NWT) it says that Moses “will serve as God to him [Pharaoh].” Me: It says Moses will serve “as God.” In other translations of this verse it says Moses will be “like God” to him. Do you see a difference between serving “as” God or “like” God and really being a god? For example, if I said an older woman was “as a mother to me” it wouldn’t mean that I actually came out of her womb, right? Do you see the difference?”

JW :But the Bible calls Satan a God. Me: Is satan a true god or false god? JW: A false God. Me: You still have two true gods.
There are many biblical passages that point to henotheism. Passages in Genesis and Psalms. I am not a Jehovah's Witness, but the early books of the bible did not deny the existence of other gods.

@ahnales i am sorry but that is just wrong, there is no henotheism in the bible, what you call gods are not the same as what we call God, that is why the Jewsh translators of the septuagint translated gods as angels.

@SolaScriptura21 Well, you are right that modern Judaism and Christianity are monotheistic, but the ancient texts cannot always be translated that way, like Psalm 82 for example.Some believe that rabbinic judaism (monotheism) did not begin until after the Babalonian captivity.

@ahnales i would disagreewith that, psalms 82 is simply speaking of judges who have been given the power ot judge by God, this has nothing to do with them literally being deities.
