QUESTIONQ] Can a harmoy be made between these two verses, when Pharaohs were Polytheist , and only Aten Akhen was a monotheist. They believed Pharaoh as a god but not as an only god.1]Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs!no god do I know for you but myself...[Qur'an 28:38]2]And the chiefs of Pharaoh's people said: "Do you leave Musa and his people to make mischief in the land and to forsakeyou and your gods?" He said: "We will slay their sons and spare their women, and surely we are masters over them."[Qur'an 7:127]ANSWER:= There are a number of answer to this question.A simple one is given below:=

There is a contradiction if someone believes in Only One Deity and more than One Deities simultaneously.But Pharaoh and his Courtiers, Nobilities, Chiefs etc were neither Polytheists nor Monotheists bu Poly-Monotheists , a type of Henotheists.Egyptian were Poly-Monotheists and believed in Only One God which manifests himself In a number gods and goddesses.As Pharaoh was a Poly-Monotheist and believed about himself that he was an Incartate(d) god and a God incarnate , he was speaking in regard to the God which incarnated , and not as an incarnation of God.As according to te Dogma of Manifestation and Incarnation none of the gods [Neterus] was distinct from God. When Pharaoh claimed that he was the only God he included all the [Personified] Manifestations and Incarnations in the Only God.But when the courtiers and chiefs etc. were talking to Pharaoh they they were either referring to the God who had incarnated as Pharaoh in their believes [since each incarnation and each Manifestation of God was a god and of God i.e gods of God.] or because one manifestation of God might be referred to another manifestation of God as his god since they both were the manifestations or incarnations of one and same God as according to their belief. As Pharaoh Ramesses the second exalted his position from a normal or an ordinary incarnation of God to the position of God Incarnate and Incarnate God [i.e the dogmathat theGodassumedhumanforminthehuman person of Pharaoh or superhuman persons like Ra etc.]. Thus other manifestations and incarnations were referred to Incarnated God i.e Pharaoh as his gods.[Incarnation=AbodilymanifestationofaGod\supernaturalbeing.].QUESTION-2 :No Pharaoh claimed to be Greatest God. So why Qura:n reports :=Has the story of Moses reached thee? Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: And say to him, Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? - And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'" Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against God). Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation, Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High".[Qur'an 79:15-24]ANSWER:

There are a number of answer to this question.But one of the simple ones is that Pharaoh is talking in regard to his Divine Self as according to his believes. Pharaoh was not a monothelete and this dogma is a latter invention. This makes it a perfect choice that he some time spoke in regard to his Divine Self. In regard to the Divine Self this self was the God , the greatest of all gods[Neteres]And the greatest god [God or neteres] . Note:=God [ G CAPITAL] MEANS SUPEREME BEING.god [ g-small] either means a Neteruor God or both.[Egyptian theology]One God manifests in sevsral gods.No god is distinct from God.
