Monotheism
Question
Hello, honored Rabbi,
After reading your notebooks, a question came to me regarding monotheism: is it more reasonable than polytheism, and do the proofs for the existence of God (found in the notebooks) show that specifically monotheism is the correct view?
Answer
Not necessarily. But there is no reason to assume the existence of many gods if everything can be understood with one God. Moreover, revelation teaches us that God is one. This joins the proofs regarding His very existence, and together they lead to the monotheistic conclusion. It seems to me that I address this in the fifth notebook.
