Multiple Universes with Multiple Gods?

[Bahman]

Two First Causes could not be causally dependent, as this would be a contradiction in terms.

I didn’t say so.

Yes, apologies for the typo…I meant they couldn’t be causally independent, as this would be a contradiction in terms. In other words, two distinct first causes, causally independent or otherwise, would not make sense.

God is pure act, and is also the necessary being. Because of this, there can be only one God. And the necessary being is the same and exists in all possible worlds, even Lewisian possible worlds (if David Lewis was right about that, which I of course doubt), precisely in virtue of being a necessary being (exists in all possible worlds). And there is nothing more radical than Lewisian possible worlds when it comes to “multiple universes”. If by “multiple universes” you mean something even more radical than the range of all logically possible worlds, then it’s meaningless.

But there can be more than One Person in God?

But there can be more than One Person in God?

But the Persons all share the same divine essence – they’re One God, the necessary being.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote a lot about the Trinity from a philosophical standpoint, by the way. He answers such questions.

Interesting to think about this…I can understand why people would have thought the ‘one God-one world’ theory back in biblical days, Im sure multiple dimensions was not even something they considered possible, they would have called that crazy talk, but in modern times, thanks to science/mathematics, we are starting to see there may be many dimensions.

I have no idea about these other dimensions, they may exist, but I have no way to even speculate what they are like, but I would say, if they did have some kind of ‘gods’ the God we worship, the one from the bible, would definitely be the highest God, God of all gods, I believe there a few verses that mention ‘other gods’, maybe this is what they were referring to.

With that all said, I do believe there are probably some other supernatural beings, other than angels, demons, God, but whatever these beings are, our God is their creator as well, and whatever reason for their existence is, God is still God, and they likely recognize this.
