Description

What does the first commandment really mean when it says, “You shall have no other gods before me”? In this episode, Jon Moffitt and Doug Van Dorn dig into the biblical language around Elohim, showing how Scripture speaks about spiritual beings while upholding the uniqueness of Yahweh. We tackle the common misunderstandings that arise when people assume the Bible denies the existence of other “gods,” explaining instead how the prophets and apostles used comparative and polemical language. If you’ve ever wondered how to reconcile these passages or why it matters for how we understand Christ and the gospel, this conversation is for you.
