This cannot be. If they are right then the God of the Bible doesn't exist. If we are right then there is only one true God. All religions cannot be right because they all contradict each other.
Exactly! My point is that none of you have proof that you are right. If one of you is right, the rest cannot be. There is no proof for any religion so why choose christianity over all others when each of the others has just as much proof?
By saying that there is no absolute truth you contradict yourself. You actually say that the absolute truth is that their is no absolute truth. So you must have it then.

So do the other gods mentioned in the Bible exist or not?
I didn't say anything about the absolute truth is. I have no clue what the truth really is. All I am saying is that there is no proof for any religion so why choose one over all others? Why not just admit you don't know and can not know at this time which one is right?
If you are sincere in your search for the truth you will find it.Need I say more? *stares at pic below*
but in reality my faith has once again come into question... at this moment i cannot say thatI have faith on anything but myself.
I was raised catholic by my family but honestly I see nothing to seriously direct my faith towards anyone at this moment, is it a moment that will in time pass? I hope so and will I ever be comfortable saying that I do have faith and belief on any certain religion? I definitely hope so.
but for the time being that Im sad to say is not the case.
Nothing against those of you that feel a certain closeness.
James 4:8 says 'draw near to God and He will draw near to you.'
He promised it and He always keeps His promises.
The other gods are idols.
If I wouldn't know then I wouldn't be a christian.
But you don't know, there is no proof! You likely picked christianity because that's what you were told was right as a child by people who were taught the same thing by people who were also taught the same thing. None of them has any proof of why christianity is right and nothing else is.
You don't become a christian by being told or by growing up in a christian home.
You become a christian because God draws you near to Him.

Doesn't say they are idols in your Bible luc...it says they are gods.
2 Kings 17:31
"31 and the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim."
We are all special to God. Otherwise He wouldn't have sent His Son to save us.
Jesus.
What about Allah? or any other of the gods that say they are right and have just as much proof as you do
This passage is talking about statues. You can find that 2 verses earlier in 2 Kings 17:29:
'Nevertheless, each national group made its own gods in the several towns where they settled, and set them up in the shrines the people of Samaria had made at the high places.'
If you believe them, why don't you try them out?
I don't believe them. There is no proof for any of them so I believe none! That doesn't answer my question though.
