"Hear O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!" (Deuteronomy 6:4).
The Bible makes it abundantly clear there is only one God. Jesus quotes Moses
in saying, "Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one" (Mark 12:29; compare Deuteronomy 6:4). Paul tells us that "there is no God
but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4) and that "there is one God" (1 Timothy 2:5).
The Bible also tells us that all other supposed gods are idols- figments of man's own imagination gone awry. Throughout history man has created many false gods. It is with this contrast in mind that we should approach Deuteronomy 6:4-"the LORD is one."
Many do not fully comprehend how the Bible uses numbers. This factor contributes to considerable confusion about God.
How should we understand the oneness of God? As well as the usual straightforward use of numbering, the concept of complete unity is associated with the Hebrew word translated "one" in Deuteronomy 6:4.
