Just plowed thru a bunch of Charismanews-type pieces & most of them were not monotheistic. Monolatrous, maybe, but not monotheistic. They were about Satan or “the Jezebel spirit” and these entities were clearly treated as rival gods. Lesser rivals, yes, but very much *gods.*
Google “Jezebel spirit” and the supposed entity you’ll find discussed is surely a god, not a mere idol of wood or stone. She, like their idea of Satan, is powerful, and multi-present (if not quite omnipresent) and close enough to omniscient. ...
“Satan” and “Jezebel” are portrayed as far more god-like than any figure from, say, Olympus or Asgard. They are evil gods, lesser gods, and rival gods, but NOT false gods — the whole point in these discussions is that they are very real and that they are very much gods.
I’m just describing, not judging. After all, much of the Bible seems monolatrous too, rather than monotheistic. The creeds don’t necessarily preclude belief in the existence of other gods. But whatever else can be said of Charismanews, it cannot be said to be monotheistic.
