Different words. Just like "strange" and "false" differ in english ... maybe Originally Posted by Lämmchen

He ordered his clergy to go out into the streets to find and care for the poor in person.

Wouldn't any other "god" besides the one true one be a FALSE god? That's what I was taught. Strange god is not the true God so it is false. Originally Posted by MoreCoffee

Yes, any other god is a false god in Christian teaching. That doesn't change the words though. "false" and "strange" are really different words both in English and in Hebrew. Originally Posted by Lämmchen
