None of which detracts in any way from YHWH. Ok, then why does God describe Himself as being "I AM" with NONE like himself - if God is an honest God (cannot sin), and if other "gods" exist, why would God say that NONE are like Himself?
Also if there are multiple "gods", but they do not interfere with each other, does mean that you believe for all intents and purposes mankind should worship in a monothesistic manner? For instance can a human choose to worship another of these "equal gods"?

We frequently say someone or something is #1 or the best or there is nothing like it, but of course we mean in THIS world or planet, though we don't go around saying that all the time. If somewhere, in the 119th planet in the Aldebaran systems, something better may exist, what is that to US?
Yes, YES, of COURSE we are monotheistic, there is just one YHWH who terraformed this world and made us to inhabit it.
You could no more just suddenly decide on your own to start worshipping the god of that 119th planet, than you could just suddenly decide to pay your taxes to Uganda because you are tired of paying the IRS. We are the sheep of THIS pasture, owned by THIS god or celestial. Each man is responsible to his own master, not some other.

This kid sounds like he's been taken in by the Urantia cult. I had a friend who got sucked into that mess about 30, 35 years ago. It didn't turn out well for him.
In any event, his delusions are apparently consistent with theirs, even if he's not with "them" per se.
