Other gods not doing anything
My friend Learn Together, let's put your name into practice. You added some text about how nothing in the Bible ever says the gods did anything. What are your thoughts on "Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess." Judges 11:24.

- If you would, please respond to my concern above. I don't think your statements about the other gods never doing anything in the Bible are true. Ungtss 11:00, 23 June 2007 (EDT)
- I did respond, and I'm not very happy to see that my answer did not show up for some reason. The section you site is part of a long speech by Jephthah talking with the Ammonites to avoid battle since the Ammonites are saying they are going to take back the land. It's basically asking them to apply the same standard they use to the Israelites in the language they understand. Chemosh gave you land, well God gave us the land so don't attack us. You will still note that nowhere is Chemosh described as actually doing anything. He doesn't come out in the battle that takes place for instance. On the other hand, the Bible has many references to the gods not being real. Check up II Kings 19:18-19 as an example. The other gods are not real, and there is only one God.
