Apologetics Table: Concerning One God
Jehovah’s Witnesses Have Two Mighty Gods - (e.g., Isaiah 9:6 and Jeremiah 32:18; and the same multiple god belief may be recognized for what Mormons believe as well... but this is scripturally incorrect - review the following to see why.)
"To us there is one God" (1 Corinthians 8:6)

At each level, for each role, the person of God is identified as one and the same with that of the Messiah. Too many scriptures provide the evidence to counter the notion that there are separate gods… but in fact there is only one God. Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are well advised to take a long hard look at what they are being taught. But once the record is set straight, it will be difficult to go back to those who teach falsely.
