Is the claim of only one God false? - How many gods are there?

[St. SteVen]

Where does the bible say that Molech and the rest were fallen angels with Satan?

Nothing comes to mind.
It's obvious to me, but your mind is already made up. So... ???

So it seems your argument that Molech, Baal, etc, were fallen angels with Satan is based on silence. In several places the bible talks about heathen gods as the work of men's hands. That seems to me to indicate that they cannot be fallen angels, because angels were created by God.

Here's one. The Greek Lexicon says Beelzebul, the prince of demons, is a god. (dung-god)

Matthew 12:24-27 NIV
But when the Pharisees heard this, they said,
“It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,
that this fellow drives out demons.”
25 Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them,
“Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined,
and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.
26 If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself.
How then can his kingdom stand?
27 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul,
by whom do your people drive them out?
So then, they will be your judges.

I'd forgotten that one. Thanks for pointing it out. Generally though, the false gods are described in the bible as idols, the works of men's hands.
