    EXODUS 20:2 God states he is the God of Israelites. He is not Egypt's god. If he is not Egypt's god, was Earth made by multiple gods?

    Poor interpretation

    In that verse, it says "Exodus 20:2 'I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. '"

    God was revealing himself, to the children of Israel, so that they would know who was speaking to them. He does not deny being the God over the Egyptians, He is simply taking credit for the miracles which led to their freedom from slavery.

    Recall God is localized by having his boundaries set by sunrise and sunset which then allows at least one other God to play with the other half of the planet marked by the visible sunrise and sunset as seen by those in Israel and Egypt. Who knows who the other god is that made the other half of our planet.

    If you are referring to the verse, "From the rising of the sun, to the going down of the same, the name of the Lord shall be praised." That was referring to the Temple service, there the Priests ministered from sunrise to sunset, before going home to go to sleep.

    Nope. I am referencing PSALM 50:1.
