One

Definitions: (1) The singular preeminent Being; (2) Individual autonomy; distinct; (3) Exclusively what He Is; unique; unequaled; (4) Indissoluble and indivisible; whole; (5) The zenith; incomparable; matchless; paramount; peerless

Comment: The idea of One God grew first out of fear of the unknown, through reverence for the ghost spirits of the dead, then through nature spirits to pantheism, and on to henotheism (the few top gods), and finally to monotheism.
