Why do chrisitians maintain that there is only one god when the bible makes it clear that there are many? [Spirituality & Religion]

If there is only one god, why do we have the worlds "El" and "Elohim"? One singular, one plural, both used by the god of the bible.
Why do we have god telling us to worship no OTHER gods before him? Why are there references to "we" to "I" ? Obviously there would be no competition between a fake god who couldn't do anything and real god who could grant miracles and punish the unfaithful.

I'm not exactly sure which verses you're referring to. But the reference is most likely to the Trinity. The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. All three make up the God of the Bible.

@Celine in all fairness, you're definitely studying at a deeper level than I'm prepared to keep up with. That was just my basic understanding of scripture. But good for you for asking and trying to learn more 😊.

@Celine I agree. If you study it for yourself, you'll find the Truth. Too many simply follow and never question or challenge what's being taught. Then sometimes, they find out there are good reasons for what was being taught as well.
