You should know:
圣经的启示是渐进性的,
A、在旧约更多的提到是独一的神,要选民建立独一的神观。
因为以色列民在埃及待了四百多年,深受了埃及地的多神崇拜的影响。
这从旧约中有所反映:
出15:11 耶和华阿,众神之中,谁能象你。谁能象你,至圣至荣,可颂可畏,施行奇事。
'Who among the gods is like you, O Lord ? Who is like you-majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?
Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? who is like you, in holy glory, to be praised with fear, doing wonders?
从上面的经文中我们可以明确的知道,以民受到了多神观念的影响。
应该上帝在西乃山向以色列民颁布戒命,
开始启示他自己是独一的神:
出20:3 除了我以外,你不可有别的神。
'You shall have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
You are to have no other gods but me.
还有更明确提到的:
申6:4 以色列阿,你要听。耶和华我们神是独一的主。
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. [1]
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Give ear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord:
