Introduction:
In the world in which we now exist, as there are various tribes identified by languages or tongues, so there are divers diety and/or gods that govern the races, peoples or nations, states, localities, clan, ethnic groups, villages, towns, quarter and families. While the rulers or kings has unquestionable authority and power. These areas that are beyond their comprehension or capacity or are mysterious are referred to as the diety whom they worship. Thus, today we have divers cultural or customary background which the elders or these areas always transfer from generations to generation. Thus, there are many gods on earth. The Holy Bible which gives the understanding that they are many gods both in heaven and earth. (1 Cor. 8:5)
Definition: What do we mean by the word "god"? It is derived from the Hebrew word "Elohim" meaning a mighty or powerful one. One who has the power to do anything and will not be questioned by subjects. He can do and undo. On the planet earth, kings, rulers, judges who are human can be called gods. For instance, in the Bible judges were called gods in Exod. 28:22; Ps. 82:1,6. Also images that men carve and worship are known as gods, some are called godesses, if they are carved as women. (Isa. 44:9-20) The angel Lucifer who fell and today is known as the devil, satan, serpent and dragon is a god. He is called the "god of this world" in the Holy Bible. - 2 Cor. 4:4.
