Right, the source must always be single--in any thing requiring a source. Which is everything, basically. It's a endless contemplation.
BUT.
God the Father is 'pure spirit'. Meaning to me, 'the Ancient of Days', the first cause, etc...
That is 'the' God.
Then there are gods. Sons of God--whether the First Begotten Son, the sons first fallen from Grace, the potential sons of God we all are--are gods,
too--but of course only the first born is God, too. The Son of God is the express image of God the Father--but all the rest are only working toward
being 'gods'.
By saying 'gods' I don't mean sovreigns equal to or even comparable to the Almighty God--I mean beings who are fully conscious and alive through
the spirit of the One True God.
'To be as gods, knowing good and evil'--that is true consciousness.
The word 'god' in itself is too general of a term for any real definition in this regard, anyway. 'God', as a name for a being (other than the
Father and the Son) really only means 'divine in character/nature.'
True understanding of such concepts can only be had outside of the written and spoken bounds of language, IMO.
