god

• development of Christianity from polytheism into monotheism:

  • "i am the first and i am the last; apart from me there is not God"
  • "who among the gods is like you, o lord"
  • "the lord our god, the lord is one"
• ethical monotheism = belief in one God includes also following the moral codes linked to that belief e.g. 10 commandments
• passage for God (topic):

  • meaning and significance of the belief that Jesus is the Son of God: John 10:30 + 1 Corinthians 8:6
