The Bible teaches one God

Biblical monotheism is not merely worshiping one God while admitting many real gods. It is confessing that there is one God.

Isaiah gives the sharpest boundary #

Isaiah's language is categorical: no God before the Lord, no God after Him, and no other God known to Him. Isaiah 44 also says the Lord made all things alone.

That does not fit a doctrine where humans can become gods or where 'the Gods' organize creation.

Paul keeps the same boundary #

First Corinthians 8 recognizes that many beings are called gods and lords. Paul does not answer by allowing many true gods under one head God. He confesses one God and one Lord within Christian worship.

That matters because LDS language often turns one into unity of purpose. The biblical argument is stronger: the Lord is not one member of a divine species, council, or family of gods.

Exaltation collides with monotheism #

The LDS problem is not only that the Father is embodied or that the Godhead is described as separate beings. The larger issue is that exalted humans may become gods.

Isaiah says no God will be formed after the Lord. Any doctrine of divine potential must fit that boundary. Christian adoption and theosis keep Creator and creature distinct; LDS exaltation does not preserve that boundary in the same way.

Passage	Biblical claim	Use in the case
Deuteronomy 6	Israel confesses one Lord.	Christian monotheism inherits Israel's confession, not a council of true gods.
Isaiah 43	No God was formed before or after the Lord.	This directly challenges exalted humans becoming gods in the same order.
Isaiah 44	God made all things alone and knows no other God.	This contrasts with Abraham 4's language of 'the Gods' organizing creation.
