Other gods before God?

Why is 'You shall have no other gods before me' in the Ten Commandments? What does it mean to have other gods before God?

Does it mean God acknowledges existence of other deities? Or that we shouldn't venerate some non-entity into godhood?

The ancient Hebrews were originally henotheists

This, and most romans that converted were sol Invictus worshipers anyways, why do you think christianity and sol invictus worshippers had so much in common

And now to go full circle: the ancient gods were not denied by Jews and Christians but rather became demons. Beelzebub? Moloch? Asmodeus? All gods.

Correct.

The christians still do this for Allah, and the Hindu gods.

Everything comes from God; this idea is not exclusive to Abrahamic religions. Everything else that comes from God is like God, but is not Almighty.

God isn't sitting up on a chair somewhere in the sky. God is with us inside of ourselves, because we too come from God.

So worship anything before God is to seek salvation outside of yourself and God. God is first. The idols of the modern day are not just "gods"; the idols of today are brands, celebrities, sometimes even people. People might believe in One God, Allah, Adonai, Christ, Shiva, Vishnu, Monad, however you found God and God revealed Himself/Itself to yourself; but to put something before God, a person, a thing, another god, a place, whatever; we put something temporary before something eternal. Even our own work we pride ourselves in can be an idol of the modern age.

Islam is definitely more progressive that these Christian fundamentalist.

There is an Imam with a Christian wife who encourages Jewish and Christian ideas; as well as Islam is actually a religion that needs to be reflected upon:

This video opens up mind to what Islam actually is.

If you want to say "demon god" you should consider that Muslims recognize demon as "jinn", Muslims are very peaceful, and you can't blame every Muslim or Allah (God) for the deeds of a few tyrants. If you want to talk about how Muhammad imperialized; so didn't every other nation in the history of the world.

Also for Christians who complain about the "war hero Muhhamad" the Old Testament also advocates the same kind of bronze age behavior of killing and violence, to cleanse the "ungodliness"

This isn't the bronze age anymore, people grow into better people, God obviously is trying to work it all out and everyone is trying to go back in time. This isn't feudal time, we need to be progressive

The christian fundamentalists will never kill you at most they will yell at you and try convert you, unlike the peaceful cutthroats of the religion of peace.

Joshuah, David, and so on, aren't considered as the Perfect Model the mankind must copy, Christ is.

>There is an Imam with a Christian wife who encourages Jewish and Christian ideas; as well as Islam is actually a religion that needs to be reflected upon:

This (((Christian))) wife is gonna burn in hell.

>The christian fundamentalists will never kill you at most they will yell at you and try convert you, unlike the peaceful cutthroats of the religion of peace.
Muslims do not recognize terrorism as Islam, neither does the Dalai Lama

>Joshuah, David, and so on, aren't considered as the Perfect Model the mankind must copy, Christ is.

Still, they were plenty busy being bronze-agers imperializing through war and religion, which isn't even exclusive to Abrahamic religions, but even Pagan nations killed in the name of their gods to spread their empires. Even secular nations do this.

>This (((Christian))) wife is gonna burn in hell.
That is nonsense

This.

I swear if most non-practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims even knew about Sikhi their lives would dramatically improve.

>This (((Christian))) wife is gonna burn in hell.
The wife sanctifies the husband by her faith.

Most Muslims DO recognize the likes of Isis, and Al Qaeda moreso, as Muslims. Misguided, yet certainly Muslims.

Humans aren't perfect and are the slaves of their passions and they will burn in Hell, but God's people on the other hand must be and is perfect. Anyway, if islam was God's religion it would not be on the same level than paganism or atheism .

Most Muslims don't

The idea is that religious imperialism is no longer applicable it isn't feudal Japan it isn't the bronze age people are smart and religion is progressive

God's message today isn't God's message in the bronze age, high had to do with cleaning ungodly in Judaism and Islam, and Pagan empires also expanded through war as do secular nations too

You can take a coconut, carve a face on it and call it your god. It will be your god.

That will not make your coconut the Creator of the Universe, it will just mean you have a carved coconut for a god.

God doesn't want people to put carved coconuts before him, or give credit for the creation of the universe to carved coconuts.

Or wood, or bronze, or silver, or gold, or even non-coconuts.

He's God, he created the universe, and if you cannot recognize, understand and accept that, he really has no use for you.

Mohammad -> Mohamet -> Baphomet

Crusader Knights who may have converted to Islam were accused of such.
