Deuteronomy 4:39Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

In a remarkable display of divine goodness, the Scriptures stand firm against the forthcoming misconceptions of those who assert that there exists another deity, whether in heaven or on earth, apart from the God of Israel. The Scripture clearly states, "The Lord your God is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4), both in the heavens above and on the earth below, and there is none other beside Him. How can one claim that there is an alternative god alongside Him, the God of Israel?
