 ==There is one God==
+Scripture is abundantly clear that there is one and only one God.
+===The Old Testament===
+This is the basic understanding of God in the Old Testament:
+:''Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, '''the LORD is one'''. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Dt 6:4–5.</ref>
+:''...that all the peoples of the earth may know that '''the LORD is God; there is no other'''.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), 1 Ki 8:60.</ref>
+God alone is the one true God and there is no one like him. When he speaks, he alone is speaking—he is not speaking as one God among three who are to be worshiped.<ref>Wayne A. Grudem, Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine (Leicester, England; Grand Rapids, MI: Inter-Varsity Press; Zondervan Pub. House, 2004), 238.</ref>
+:''I am the LORD, and there is no other, '''besides me there is no God'''; I equip you, though you do not know me, that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that '''there is none besides me'''; I am the LORD, and '''there is no other'''. <ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Is 45:5–6.</ref>
+:''Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together!  Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old?  Was it not I, the LORD? And '''there is no other god besides me''', a righteous God and a Savior; '''there is none besides me'''.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Is 45:21.</ref>
+:''Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Who is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people. Let them declare what is to come, and what will happen. Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? And you are my witnesses! Is there a God besides me? There is no Rock; I know not any.”<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Is 44:6–8.</ref>
+===The New Testament===
+The New Testament also affirms that there is one God.
+:''For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus...<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), 1 Ti 2:5.</ref>
+:''...since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Ro 3:30.</ref>
+:''You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Jas 2:19.</ref>
