RE: Larry Wall on proving the existence of one God.
    (Isa 44:16,17);

DEEP BREATH...

The God of Gen. 1 is the ancient god, Elohim or El;  of Gen 2:, YHWH,
(a "self existent" facet of Elohim) who is the Father (with the birth)
of the Son, Jesus, the "Word", quoted "the Father and I are One".
Jesus is also a facet of the original plural Elohim--the One "I AM".
The book of Job (as well as the exchange between Abram and Melchizedek)
show the transition from El to YHWH; the gospels show the relationship
of YHWH to Jesus.  The remainder of the New Testament reverts in
terminology to a single designation, i.e. "God".

Larry, I liked your note about God's sense of humor... He has
a great one!  And sarcasm too, etc. etc.
