No, that is not even an acknowledgement. It was not said to those gods, was it? No, so it is a reminder to false devotees that there is only the ONE GOD OF EGYPT

Hmmm.

If you think literally, simply and in isolation then I can see why you'd think that God was acknowledging other gods but not if you want truth!

The reality is that "apart from me there is no God.", "For even if there are so-called gods" and "the one true God is full of glory, grace, and truth" In other words, there are things that can appear like a god, things that men can make into a false gods and indeed things that are termed false gods but the reality is that something that is "false" isn't the thing. A false king is someone who isn't a king. A false expert is someone who isn't an expert. How else could we interpret this? A false expert is really an expert who is false? It doesn't make sense.

Yet JWs try to argue there are many gods and try manipulating scripture to say so but every scripture they use only serves to highlight that there is ONLY one God and the rest are false, fake, non-existent, imaginery, acting, etc.

.. in this light when God says He will execute judgement on the gods of Egypt He's not saying there are other gods, He's saying He's going to prove to the Egyptians there gods don't exist, aren't real and therefore have no power. God is God alone!

Hallelujah!

1) Is God acknowledging the existence of other gods in this sentence?

No.

Really. Think about it carefully. The correct answer is "No".

JEHOVAH instructed Moses to appear before Pharaoh and, speaking in Jehovah’s name, to say: “Send my people away.” Ex 5:1 Pharaoh refused.

He did not want to lose a nation of slaves. More than that, Pharaoh did not know, or recognize, Jehovah as the true God. Ex 5:2

Pharaoh worshiped the gods of Egypt and even considered himself to be a god!

Thus the issue was pressed to the fore: Who is the true God? By means of ten plagues Jehovah executed judgment on all the gods of Egypt, resulting in Israel’s release and giving evidence that Jehovah is the living and true God. Ex 12:12

The bible agrees shows that there are many gods, but there is only one true God.

The bible says at 1Cor 8:5,6:

For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords", there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him"

One God

Evidence for Creation

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” (Deuteronomy 6:4)

This great verse has been recited countless times by Israelites down through the centuries, setting forth their distinctive belief in one great Creator God. The Jews had retained their original belief in creation, handed down from Noah, while the other nations had all allowed their original monotheistic creationism to degenerate into a wide variety of religions, all basically equivalent to the polytheistic evolutionism of the early Sumerians at Babel.

But along with its strong assertion of monotheism, there is also a very real suggestion that this declaration, with its thrice-named subject, is also setting forth the triune God. The name “LORD,” of course, is Yahweh, or Jehovah, the self-existing One who reveals Himself, while “God” is Elohim, the powerful Creator/Ruler. “Jehovah our Elohim is one Jehovah” is the proclamation. A number of respected Jewish commentators have acknowledged that the verse spoke of a “unified oneness” rather than an “absolute oneness.” The revered book called the Zohar, for example, even said that the first mention was of the Father, the second one the Messiah, and the third the Holy Spirit.

The key word “one” (Hebrew achad) is often used to denote unity in diversity. For example, when Eve was united to Adam in marriage, they were said to be “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). Similarly, on the third day of creation, the waters were “gathered together unto one place,” yet this gathering together was called “Seas” (i.e., more than one sea, Genesis 1:9-10).

Thus, Israel’s great declaration should really be understood as saying, in effect: “The eternally omnipresent Father, also Creator and Sustainer of all things, is our unified self-revealing Lord.” HMM

The True God is the one that help the sufferings and the one that left behind in this tiny world. No more Blah..blah. blah.

The Egyptians worshipped many gods or deities. The reason the Almighty God sent ten plagues on Egypt was to show that these gods were not reat - they were not real, they were impotent, false gods. They were placing their trust in graven images or idols.

There has only ever been the One Being of God, who is Spirit, and who is the Creator.

Context is KING. Take the text out of it's context and all you have left is a con.

The 'gods of Egypt' are refering to the gods that never were gods... images that people made to bow down to.... idol worship.

And people are STILL bowing down to the 'work of their hands'. Things they made.... or the money they made by the labor they did... they bow to it! This is detestable.

Why degrade yourself by worshiping a created thing, rather than the Creator of ALL things? Who is forever praised! Amen.

PS. Ancient Hebrew only had 8500 words. English has over 500,000. One word would do triple duty... so context is king... context of the verse, chapter, book... and the context of the Bible as a whole. Asking this question suggests you have a lot more studying ahead of you... may God richly bless you as you do.
